Hi, I am a 27 yr old male. I am learning about Shock loss and very concerned, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just 2 days ago had a hair transplant of 3,000 grafts which seemed to go very well. I was told my donor hair was excellent. I had around 2,500 placed in the front half and 500 to reinforce my crown which is still in pretty good shape.
I still have most of my hair so most of the transplants went in between existing hairs. My existing hairs have not 'overly thinned' but are thinner in the front than they were 5 - 10 years ago.
I was not aware until after the procedure that it was a good idea to take Propecia prior to having a Hair Transplant.
The doctor was highly recommended from many sources so I trust him but I do have 4 big questions. (He also seemed to do a great job, but will have to wait and see!)
1. How beneficial would it have been to take Propecia prior to my HT?
2. I started taking Propecia the day after the surgery, will this help to prevent shock loss?
3. I used Rogaine for at least a year prior to the surgery, will that help prevent shock loss?
4. Is hair lost to Shock Lost gone forever? Meaning will I lose perfectly good original hair?
Any feedback would be really great.
