Does transplanted hair fall out after years?

About five years ago, I had a hair transplant done, and for a while, everything was great. Now, I'm noticing that some of the transplanted hair strands are starting to fall out. Is it normal for transplanted hair to shed or fall out after so many years?

Transplanted hair generally stays permanent, but the non-transplanted hair around it can still fall out over the years. To keep your scalp healthy, try using mild onion juice or a gentle coconut oil massage weekly. If you notice sudden, heavy hair fall, please consult your trichologist.

Arre buddy, the transplanted hair is taken from the back of your head, which is practically permanent! It doesn't easily fall out even after years because those follicles are baldness-resistant. Just don't start worrying so much that your normal hair falls out from stress!

My brother got a hair transplant four years ago, and his transplanted hair is still totally fine. However, his doctor told him he needs to maintain his overall scalp health to prevent the other natural hair from thinning. It's a long-term commitment, but definitely worth it if you take care.

True, the transplanted hair itself is permanent, but natural aging and genetic hair loss can still affect the rest of your hair. Regular follow-ups with your dermatologist help maintain the overall density.

Haan na, transplanted hair toh lagbhag permanent hota hai kyuki wo safe zone se liya jata hai. Par uski care toh karni hi padti hai na regular doctor ke kahe anusar. Ek baar acchi clinic se consult kar lo, saare doubts clear ho jayenge.
