Regular Member sullirock Posted January 21, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted January 21, 2011 I recently got a transplant (my 4th). This time a new incision was made since the old scar couldn't be excised. I've experienced shock loss before in the donor area but this time it seems more extensive. The hair is falling out all along the scar but the worse side is the left side where it is nearly bald from old scar to new scar. Here's a picture tell me what you think.

Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted January 22, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2011 That appears to be serious shocking, why could the old scar not be excised? Unfortunately, there isn't much to do for shock loss other than trying to cover it up with cosmetics until it grows back. Once your stitches are removed you can use products such as dermatch to cover it up, if your hair can't cover it alone. I am a consultant for Dr. True and Dr. Dorin. These opinions are my own.
