Shock Loss How Long to Recover?

[waveskier]

If you have shock loss of native hair after HT will it all come back?

How long can it last? Can it last 3 months before coming back assuming that it will come back?

 

Thanks,

Russ

the bellow is all spexs work and i have found the best all round help for questions about HT its gold!!!! theres a good section on shock loss hope it helps

 

but in my own personaly case im at 4months and its only started to come back around the strip scar its very slow

 

 

 

 

I have made several posts over the years which are a combination of personal experience with hair transplants and a combination of various patient experiences also. The various topics will hopefully allow newbies and patients at the start of their own HT journeys a much better insight into the journey ahead.

shock loss is not reversible in recipient area any person here saying fools you it is reversible only in dodnor area. shock loss is maximum if u do dense packing and shock loss happens veen if no dense packing. think you are in progressive baldness and how you can make ur natural hair to saty fix they are in going phase thats why u r doing hair transplant. these hair hair which are in going phase will go by tme memory but when u undergo surgeon knife they goo soon. Any way think of future full time goal ask your hair trnsplant surgeon to evaluate in lot of cases only transplanted hair stays and all rest of hair from crown and vertex goes by shock loss. if you are going to loose adjacent hair in imagine 4 yeras from now after hair transplant you will loose in 4 to 6 months from recipeint area this is the most adverse effect of hair transplant. propacia, avaodart rogaine or any medication cannot cannot cannot stop it. hairs are genetically programmed to go whic are in going phase by hT it goes sooner so solution is not hair transplant but hair transplants. many session to cover all the area again it depends how much your donor area permits or may be you will undergo hair trnasplant and in future you run out of donor.

Someone tell me that this is wrong....if you can decifer wha he is trying to say....

[waveskier]

I sure didn't want to hear either. I read the work by spex and that makes a little more sense.

It's wrong.

 

"Shock loss" is used to mean at least three different things:

 

a) Hairs which are accidentally transected during surgery. This phenomenon should really be called "surgeon error" or something similar, because it has nothing to do with a "shock" to the patient's system.

 

b) Miniaturized hairs in the recipient area which fall out due to the trauma of a HT and don't grow back. Such hairs were already on their way out to begin with; so they haven't really been "lost" due to the HT; the surgery has simply hastened something that was going to happen soon enough on its own anyway.

 

c) Hairs in the recipient area which go into a telogen (i.e., resting) phase due to the trauma of a HT. These hairs will grow back on their own after the end of the telogen phase (about 2-4 months).

 

The phrase "shock loss" should most appropriately be used to reference ©, and that type of loss is most definitely reversible.

Guys,

 

As most of you correctly assert, shock loss is, in the vast majority of cases, temporary. Hairs that are already miniaturized and on their way out may not not return but healthy hairs lost to shock loss should grow back when your transplanted hair starts to grow.

I am also seeing a massive shed and hair are on the way of thinning.

 

 

Today ,i am going to visit my surgeon and will tell you the details.

[sudhir8702]

Spanker ,

 

Can you please answer , how many days after surgery you stopped seeing sheddig.

I say its my opinion. I wont contradict people mentioning their point of view.

Sudhir time will tell you whether it is reversible or not. I would say take a close up photo of your entire scalp now and take after 6 months then after 10 months then after 12 months.I think by that time you will see your results of HT. At that time you can gauge the difference if any and you will know whether you had shock loss or not.

[Blake Bloxham]

If temporary, shock loss should return at the end of what would be a normal telogen phase: around 3-4 months (though some say as long as 5).
