Senior Member Dazed Posted August 7, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 7, 2018 In 2011 I had 2000, and I am thinking of getting another 2000. I didn't experience shock loss the first time. Is there any reason to expect it this time? "Imagination frames events unknown in wild fantastic shapes of hideous ruin, and what it fears, creates."

Senior Member Shera Posted August 7, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) It depends on the current state of your native hairs in and around the new proposed implantation zone. If they are minitiarising and not in such a robust state they were the first time around, then there is a greater risk of shock loss. Your previously transplanted hair grafts should not be at risk of shock loss. Edited August 7, 2018 by Shera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are planting grafts in zones that already have scar tissue, they may not yield well or grow well. Best is to try to have grafts in a close to bald area. That way you can actually guage your graft yield. If there is hair there then it is a risk as both native hair and transplanted hairs could die if done improperly. Best of luck.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted August 8, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 8, 2018 I’m sure everyone is different but I experienced no shock loss from my 2012 surgery or my second surgery a couple years later. Hope you experience the same. I am an online representative for Carolina Hair Surgery & Dr. Mike Vories (Recommended on the Hair Transplant Network).

Senior Member Dazed Posted August 9, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 9, 2018 Well, back from the doctor and he suggests 2200 FUE transplants. I am basically looking to supplement the original transplants. Total cost $6578 which includes a PRP treatment. He said I may want to come back for additional transplants, but that I would be happy with the results. I was on the fence even about doing this again because my hair does not look that bad, and I am 71. This is in preparation for a facelift early next year.
