Regular Member MCS Posted April 8, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted April 8, 2012 Posted previously regarding my 3rd HT graft survival: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/165185-delayed-no-growth-possible-multiple-hair-transplants.html#post2298975 I am now 3 mos. post-op and concerned whether this depressed "band" from the strip scar will eventually lessen. It looks like I was wearing a tight hat. Never had this on my first two procedures. Could this be like some kind of shock loss? My doc has always done the tricophytic closure. Anyone else experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member michaeljames Posted April 9, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted April 9, 2012 G'day mate; I have not experienced this personally. Could you post a pic for folks to better understand your concern. Depression of the scar would not seem related to shock loss. If the concern is really great then speaking to your surgeon as soon as possible regarding your concern is most important.

I do recall them shaving my hair before doing the excision, so maybe it's from that and I just have to let it grow back?

Regular Member Jazzy Posted April 9, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted April 9, 2012 I think it could be shock loss. You have to check with your doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see, the scar is still healing as its obviously red. The hair indentation follows exactly along the line of the scar. It is very hard to tell looking backwards in a mirror, but it looks like the hair right above the scar stops and a different layer of hair begins right below it.
