Are you on any medications to help combat this, such as Fin or Dut? I wonder if that would've helped since day 1 post HT.

I am using Minoxidil and biotin since last 4 weeks. It's working

Yea definitely looks like shock loss, it’s spread. Which is clear shock loss. 

Ya indeed it's shock loss.... Hiding it by wearing cap. Everything else is perfect post HT except this pain in ass

@JohnAC71 There is a lot of improvement though it's unnoticeable to anyone else except me... Hair have started emerging in bald patches everywhere except an square inch..will keep posting

Your entire body gets enough blood else it might rot.... You feel so because your donor area isn't yet sensitive due to anaesthesia administered during HT.... You will feel so for next few months..... Don't overthink, everything is fine....

Seems like it's just temporary shock loss. How far out are you? Who was the doctor?

4weeks post op... I went to Berkowits Clinic in New Delhi

I'm sure things will eventually get better for you. Could you please share some recipient area pictures also? 

Would love to see your work

I am more than delighted at my Frontal transplant.... Volume and Hair line are upto my satisfaction

Shock loss is worrying but it seems it should all grow back. Is it just me or have people been reporting a lot more shock loss with FUE donor area. I also noticed it's in a wider area compared to FUT where it's more localized along the strip line. Wonder if donor shock loss like this is just due to too much anesthetic to put the hairs into a temporary shock.

I could feel that this area was injected with more anaesthetic than the other side.... Other side is doing well...

The pics are not that clear, but it seems you have some shock loss. Which will grow back ! Have you got any other pics ? 

These are gradual pics... Things were fine post one week and there were hair all over donor but now there are many bald patches... 

 I am just praying it to be shock loss and not over harvesting

3weeks post FUE op 3500 grafts, I have a moth eaten look in my donor area... Will it ever appear normal

Hiii. My pics 25 days post 3000 grafts HT... Hair in donor area were growing perfectly till one week then these patches happened.... Is it shock loss or over harvesting
