mrbistro Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Hey Guys, I'm new here but not new to hairloss/transplant. I just had my 2nd FUT 4 weeks ago and although I've gone through this before I don't recall this particular concern I have with my scar... Within the past 2 weeks, I've noticed some patchy spots around the donor area and up close they appear to not have any hair follicles which is my main concern. Is this loss permanent or temporary? Could this be considered a type of shock loss from the procedure? The transplant was done by a very reputable doctor and I'm not concerned something was done incorrectly, but I would appreciate some input regarding this matter and others' experiences and input/suggestions. Below are a few photos that show just post-op(no apparent loss) and 4 weeks post-op(patchy hair loss around donor site) 1 week post op: 4 Weeks Post op: Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chris39 Posted July 4, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted July 4, 2016 Certainly looks like shock loss and in all likelihood will be temporary . Can take up to 6 months to resolve itself . Have you contacted your surgeon about this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mikey1970 Posted July 4, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted July 4, 2016 I had similar with my 2nd strip procedure. Improved quite quickly & within 6 months was almost unnoticeable using a number 3 guide. Im confident you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. Scott Alexander MD Posted July 4, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted July 4, 2016 This does look like classic shock loss around the scar so do not worry as it will all return. It will take 4- 5 months possibly. - Please feel free to visit our website : Dr. Scott Alexander website and online consultation form Dr. Alexander is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
