Senior Member gillenator Posted June 26, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2015 SbT, Areas of the scalp that are directly neighboring the recipient area can experience some level of shock loss but it is rare and not as likely because the trauma is more confined to where the recipient incisions are made. And if you were to experience some mild shock loss outside of the frontal recipient area, very unlikely that it would impact your crown. Another possibility is that some individuals experience some shock loss and/or thinning in the donor zone. With FUHT, it sometimes occurs just above and/or below the donor scar, and with FUE, it can potentially happen in the adjoining areas where the extractions are made. Again, not prevalent but an exception. My observations have been that those individuals that have a more diffused type/pattern of loss can be a little more at risk for shock.
