Senior Member hairbank Posted March 26, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2007 Spex makes a great point.........shock loss is very unpredictable. I've experienced it both in the recipient area and along the donor area. HT #1 I had quite a bit of shock loss in recipient and donor areas. I don't believe all the shocked hair in the recipient site came back. Most of the hair around the donor area did but one place on the left side was worse than the rest. I also had some shock loss during HT #2 but the majority of it came back. This is speculative but I do believe another large contributing factor to shock loss is determined by the skill set of the surgeon performing the HT.

Senior Member MrJobi Posted March 26, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2007 Good points I think it also had to do with the amount of grafts you receive in an area. The more Trauma to the area the more likely to have shockloss ( of course everyone is different but it is common sense). I just had my thrid procedure and had some excess shock loss on one side of the donor area..No probem because I can cover it up with dermatch.. Keep in mind if you are going for one fo these MEGASESSIONS you will most likely have to shave your head so it doesn't matter anyway. I took the more conservative route at 1417, 1476, and 2124 good luck JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
