Hey MIKIEB! Glad to hear that you recovered from the shockloss! How long after the surgery did you start to experience shockloss?

MikieB and Jetfan11,

 

Were you on propecia before the procedure or after?

 

I am experiencing some loss behind my latest HT procedure, and trying to pin down if it's from shockloss or from stopping Fin about 6-7 months ago (so far hadn't seen any loss at all from stopping).

I may restart Proscar mon wed fri just to be safe.

go dense or go home

Hey MikeIB, I think I have a similar situation as you. I came into the surgery with hair, and when I got out, I had lost almost half my density. I was shocked (no pun intended) since I was told that shock loss happens 3 months or so after the fact. I have way less hair now, and am wondering whether a) it was simply cut during the transplant and I can't tell

b)it could be real shock loss in such a short amount of time or c) there were transections and the hair is permanently damaged. What was your experience? I have done a lot of research and your case is the most similar to mine, since ours both happened the day after surgery.

Hey Mikie,

 

This makes a lot more sense than shock loss during the procedure. Shock loss is a gradual response from the body to the trauma of surgery, I've not seen examples where there was a pile of hair on the floor of the surgery room due to shock loss.

 

This is why my first question was whether or not they cut the hair and the fact that they did cut some is very good news for you.

 

If it's just been cut it should be growing already (unless you also have some shock loss over the next few weeks).

 

Best of luck and I'm sure it'll all grow back for you!

 

Is it very common for hair to be cut during the surgery and you not know it? Is it just cut really close to the base so I can't see? The reason I ask is because I had a fair amount of density going into the surgery last week, and now I have about half or less. I would think it would be far to soon for me to be experiencing shock loss, but I'm not sure. Thanks!

Shock loss can occur as early as 2 weeks post-op and as late as 8 weeks. And yes, there are exceptions.

Unless that native hair was very diffused, it should grow back but will take 3-4 months.
