is there any shock loss after a fue transplant? the procedure is the same (graft shedding etc.)?

shock loss in the recipient area would be apple 4 apple, yen 4 yen, Alba 4 Alba the same...the donor area, I *think* one would not experience any shock loss, but Im not sure...hmmmm interesting. vewy, vewy intewesting...

why would the donor area experience shock loss..?

I don't *think* it does in any way.

Donor area shockloss can happen, strip or FUE, although it must be said it is quite rare.

Since we are using 0,7 mm FUE instruments we have never had a case of major donor shockloss. This is also a reason why we are not offering 3000+ FUE grafts in 1 session. At this moment we dont have enough experience to know wheter or not donor area shockloss becomes more of an issue when going for 4000 or more FUE in 1 session.

Bart is right, shock loss can occur in the donor area. If you see my second strip surgery, I had shock loss around the scar and by 6 months, all the hair had regrown.

It can happen with FUE also.

I have heard of a few cases but it was with larger punch grafts.

Yes shock can occur in the donor area - it can although very rare. I experienced it when I had my FUE procedure with Dr Jones back in October 03. I don't think anyone else has experienced it quite this bad - luckily!

I had a completely bald area the size of a fist on the side of my head for 3 months - will dig out a pic.
The hair ALL grew back, thank God! The time it took for the area to grow back was one of the toughest stretches i ever had to do. I had a great selection of beanie hats


My other FUE surgeries with Dr Feller I believe the punches used were 0.8mm +0.9mm punches and I experience no shock loss whatsoever.

Spex,

huh I had never heard of this...guess the benefits of FUE aren't *as* wide sweeping as I had thought...were Jones 'punches' significantly larger; and if so, is this what the shock loss was attributed to?
