Hi Ahmad, 

It certainly looks like shock loss; the donor area could be a but if over harvesting, but I’m certain it will grow to look fuller. Be patient, in the meantime I suggest using minoxidil to speed up the recovery. Also, I suggest using toppik to conceal the areas.

For how long it will takes till ai see my hair grow again,, and how i make sure it's not permanent shock loss

From your photos you did not look like you needed a transplant.

You are a good example of the risk that is involved with getting a hair transplant at a young age that may not be necessary at the moment, with the risks involved of damaging nature hair.

But, I agree with Melvin, it definitely looks like shock loss which will recover with a lot of time and patience, although, any damage in donor area from over harvesting grafts may not get better, but don’t stress too much, it’s done now just be patient.

You’re welcome.

i would wait until 12 more months to see better results before I would say it’s the worst decision of your life.

I have never heard or read of anyone doing a hair transplant on their donor area to repair, it does not make sense, it will just be moving grafts around and make the donor area much much worse. But, you can after 12-18months get scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) done in donor area to cover the empty spots, but wait to see the full results in 12-18 months from now.

It’s not the end of the world, in most cases shock loss grows back, most patients look worse before they look better.

i had exactly the same as you but not as much in recipient area.

that box that is on the side of ur head i had one and it grew back in about by 2 to 4 month post op if i recall.

my recipient area did not or not all the way and im at a year post op now.

like melvin says use TOPPIK it will help camouflage the thinnest and help hold you over til it hopefully regrows in a few months time or just wear a hat for time being

remember whats done is done their zero you can do about it now except for just give it time to resolve so don't worry its out of your control. let your body do its thang and heal and don't sweat it.

hope this helps

 

(p.s wheres that poster that says shock loss doesn't happen from the other thread)

Had the same shock loss in that area....behind the ears. Took 4 months to grow back but it did grow back.

@Ahmadhd1

I am not an expert, I can only speak from the cases I have seen on this forum.

1. Try not to worry about your donor area...I have seen many cases on this forum similar to yours.   Of these cases, the vast majority of the patients experienced a full regrowth of the hair.  I would expect the same for you.

2. Minoxidil has demonstrated ability in helping shock-loss and the recovery of natural hair.   I would speak to your surgeon about using this and if ok, get using it as soon as possible.
