Is shock loss permanent or transient.

Even HT hair gets shocked out so I'm not sure there's anything to aid in preventing it. For me, I noticed it most when my grafts were shedding around the 2 week mark. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones and not experience much, but be prepared.

Your recent set of pics provides a better view of Dr. Konior's work. It looks great! From what I've seen, he does super hairline work..........I think you'll be pleased with your results.

It depends.....................if you have MPB hair that is in the final stages of loss and it gets shocked out after HT surgery it may very well not come back. On the other hand, I had HT hair from HT #1 (along with some native hair) get shocked out during HT #2 and it came back fine. Many start Propecia pre-HT to try and regenerate or strengthen their existing hair to avoid permanent shock loss.........something I did not do for HT #1 but I wish I had.
