    Got to be worth a go, but my surgeon (won’t name him but the most famous in the UK...) basically said that it will grow when it grows, didnt dissuade me from trying remedies but spelled out they’re unlikely to do anything and I’ll be fine either way. but... heard aloe vera works a treat, also T Gel?

    Mine is the hairmax laser comb - far as I can see it’s the cheapest one, but reading up the science is exactly the same for all of them, just the caps take less time. Though the comb makes the most annoyingly loud bleep every 4 seconds that I wish I’d paid a few hundred quid for a cap.

    Ah I had it part shaven so still have a lot on top to cover up. Except for the massive missing patches... You’re a fair bit more tanned than I am so it looks okay - can’t really buzz mine as redness is still horrendous. Damn pasty skin.

    Just had a read through - thanks for this! I’m on biotin supplements already so definitely worth adding to. Also the clinic gave me a laser comb, did you ever try that? Obviously difficult to know what works with multiple remedies but v happy to try the machine gun approach.

    I have a bit of this too - particularly bad on the left side. Tbh yours really doesn’t look too bad, but I have patchy hair on the sides of my head anyway so it sort of blends for me. From what I’ve seen shock loss at the back from FUE recovers quickly, would definitely grow it if I were you - will look fine a bit longer!

    Just an update - it’s 7 weeks since the op and 4 since all my bloody hair fell out. I think I can see a few new hairs and blackening of follicles that haven’t come through, but I have been obsessed with this for a month (and I have to cake my head in makeup) so probably imagining it. I’m on minox and using a laser comb 2-3 times a week. Also on Boots hair supplements for whatever that’s worth, they taste really nice though.

    Let me know how you get on - glad yours has stabilised so early!
  8. Sybutwhy?
    Ah so just a bit later than me. How is it looking now?
  9. Sybutwhy?
    Oh no - sorry you’re going through this too, how long ago was your procedure? If you have any pics it’d be good to compare!
  10. Sybutwhy?
    Ah it is a similar shape - it doesn’t look near the recipient or donor areas? How long after surgery was this?
  11. Sybutwhy?
    That was why I went in for the check up - apparently alopecia would show as damage to the skin? One to remember if it doesn’t come back!
  12. Sybutwhy?
    That’d be brilliant - thank you! As per my reply to the post above, the drs believed the bruising you can see in pics 1&2 is a sign of the areas which suffered trauma/susceptible to shock loss. There’s a tiny bit in donor/recipient areas too so I’m inclined to believe some people are just unlucky/react badly as overall my surgery & recovery was fantastic.
  13. Sybutwhy?
    I have a tiny bit in the donor area but obviously this is the bit that’s difficult to disguise! yes, consulted the doctors and they said it was very rare to see it in the areas affected, maybe once a year out of hundreds of surgeries. I showed them the pictures after a couple of days and they said the bruising was a telltale sign that the areas had been particularly affected/vulnerable to shock loss. Advised scalp looked healthy under the camera and to expect a full recovery before transplanted grafts come through. On minox (tbh the hair loss only started as soon as I went back on it) and propecia, dr has also lent me a laser comb just in case it will speed up growth cycle. it’s just slightly unnerving that I can see so many pictures online of loss in the donor/recipient areas but no one with it below the hairline where the hair is (presumably) healthy. thanks very much for the information and sharing that yours came back - any/all info is greatly appreciated atm.

    F*** me, just saw your pre op!
  15. Sybutwhy?
    In that area? I can’t find anyone else! how did you get on?
  16. Sybutwhy?
    Hola, Well I’m just over a month out from 1200 graft FUE surgery and after two amazing weeks where my new “peaky blinders” haircut got nothing but compliments... I get by far and away the worst shock loss I can find on the internet! Basically, I can’t find anyone else with it this bad - the threads on shock loss always go quiet after a few months (presumably it gets fixed and they don’t bother to tell us???) so I wanted to start this to see if anyone had ever seen anything similar, if they have any advice and... to let someone with the same know how I get on! Pics from a couple of days after surgery and today - as you can see, a huge missing “patch” below/behind my left temple that rises up into my existing hairline, smaller patch on the right side but has a worse affect upon my hairline. I suppose the rollercoaster is that I expected to look awful for months, came out looking great, then looked like a Frankenstein creation. Anyway, hope to hear from... anyone... soon! thanks
