It’s not that common actually for a transplant to “fail” in our current era. Way more likely back in the day. Assuming you don’t go to a butcher the main cause of unsuccessful results after a HT are usually mostly linked to people not being proper candidates in the first place. I would say donor management is harder then good density or correct packing, even subpar surgeons can get you good density, but at what cost, did they maul your donor supply or were they smart and conservative.

@Rahal Hair Transplant realised you requested pictures, here’s both sides at day 70, roughly 2000 grafts. One sided abit further ahead but I have be informed it’s normal and they will catch up

Ah so it’s normal to have some hairs stick around but not instantly grow right? It doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t grow? I mean I know the yield for HTs isn’t 100% but is it safe to assume it’s normal to have some small lengthened hairs not fall out during the shed?

I’m at roughly 70 days from the operation, a majority of the hairs had shed but I was just mainly wondering if it’s normal for some to not shed, but also they don’t grow instantly, do they just maintain their length till they “activate”? Also I had 2300 grafts, the whole experience has been mildly stressful from shedding to the ugly duckling phase as I have a little bit of shock loss I look worse now then I did prior to the surgery but I have been told that it’s normal and to just forget I had a hair transplant till the next 5 months as it takes a lot of time for the shocked hair to recover and for the transplanted hair to recovery. I use oral minoxidil but as told to also add topical to aid blow flow to the areas I have shock loss

Bump - sorry different account on mobile

What’s Knoxville 😂? I assume it was a minoxidil typo. So in the case of transplanting hair near previously transplanted hair the chance of shock loss recovery is high because the hairs aren’t weak? I would assume it’s hard to “transect” hairs if the surgeon is looking carefully

Hmm, I still wonder how common native shock loss really is

I agree that dipping pass into mid-crown is a bad idea, but doing work on your temple region seems totally normal standard for the HT industry? I don’t see why he wouldn’t be open to reconstructing your temples, perhaps get a 2nd opinion from another expert

Is it in ur native hair? As in did you get a density increase and not just on a slick bald area

How common is it if you have have pre-existing hair in the region, I.e. a 2nd transplant to add density? Also how long does it take to return? I feel like I look way worse rn then I did pre op, still 60 days out from surgery

So you remember where he had posted that? Lookin for a similar situation to follow

Normal to have dry skin? And pimples? This waiting phase is a nightmare, and how quickly does native shock loss return? As you can see near my edges I have abit of native shock loss

Sorry no idea why the upload flipped the picture upside down also incase anyones wondering about the hair lengths it’s a mixture of transplanted and native at the temples

Day 38 rn, already shedded most of the transplanted hairs, was just curious if this is normal to not see where the grafts originally fell from? Someone said you should still see the follicle under the flash but this seems ridiculous given how deep it’s inserted, a shed hair shouldn’t still be visible after a HT especially during early times, no?

I am giving out advice I am not telling people to copy my dose. Also there’s been studies done on 10mg aswell and there’s a similar side profile as 5mg
