Regular Member MrG-1981 Posted August 1, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm coming up to 7 weeks post op. Majority of the new grafts have fallen out as expected, however, my native hair around the crown is just not coming back as thick or as full as before. It looks hideous. I only had 200 grafts there as had minor thinning, but it looks like Ive lost much more than what I have to begin with. Anyone have any ideas what is going on? I'm so depressed and feel like such a fool for being so vain and wasting so much money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Questionmark Posted August 1, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted August 1, 2014 Man, relax by now! It`s very early and a thinner look at this stage is rather the norm than the exception! I suppose the second picture is after op, and the third picture before op? You may have experienced some shock loss in the area. According to my knowledge it`s way too early to judge whether the loss might be permanent or not. Depends on if there had been going on a lot of miniaturization, yet, or not. But don`t panic, let`s just wait and see. Would like to read some further insight maybe from other members. Have you contacted your surgeon, yet, and asked for his opinion?

Senior Member JayWalker Posted August 2, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted August 2, 2014 At 7 weeks I wouldnt be expecting any more or less. You really need to chill out and relax, its not called the ugly duckling phase for nothing! http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/journal.asp?CopyID=10024&WebID=2832 October 2011 - 1647 FUT - Dr Dorin January 2014 - 1580 FUT - Dr Dorin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member MrG-1981 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2014 I did see clinic. They said that they were careful not to place grafts in areas which could lead to shock loss. He advised that the crown takes longer to come through and where I was thinning, the hair will take longer to grow through as they were less healthy than the others. I guess I'm paranoid...I was completely prepared to lose the new grafts and expected to have my old hair back, but its not the case. I should have jus got a wig!

Senior Member Questionmark Posted August 2, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted August 2, 2014 As said: Shockloss is not uncommon, and I guess you should just sit back and relax now. Don`t worry, there is simply no reason to. You`re at a stage where everybody looks much worse than before op, so just chill My HT story: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/170355-my-experience-dr-tejinder-bhatti-2364-grafts-fue-restore-hairline.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
