Senior Member scooping around Posted August 13, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted August 13, 2007 I've had my HT 2 months ago and the donor area is still very visible with the scar. I have a few patches of hair that came off with the scar when I was peeling the dry skin off there. When does the hair grow back in there to cover up the scar typically? I understand that there can be some permanent shockloss, although rare because this is my first surgery. But if it does come back, when do they come back typically?

Regular Member Bayer Posted August 13, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2007 3 to 4 months should do it. Bayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TheHairLossCure Posted August 13, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted August 13, 2007 Shock loss in the donor area, while troublesome, is very rarely a permanent problem. You will likely start to see some re-growth after 3 months post-op or so. Hang in there. Notice: I am an employee of Dr. Paul Rose who is recommended on this community. I am not a doctor.

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 scooping around, I think everyone pretty much covered it already. From my personal experience, any donor shock loss I experienced return by the 4th month. However it is possible that it can take longer - up to 6 months (and in rare cases - 1 year).
