Question: I've read that for facial hair transplants the hair will first fall out before normal growth starts in the new site. Is this true and what's the recuperation process for facial hair transplants?

Answer: Following a facial hair transplant procedure, you can expect tiny crusts to form and last for about a week where each graft of one and two hairs was placed. Once the crusts fade, you will have another week or two with the little hairs. The transplanted hair does fall out, 70% or so of it by about week three, and this leaves the transplanted areas looking virtually undetectable. The 30% of transplanted hairs stick around and continue to grow. Regrowth will begin about one to three months later.
