NWsteve Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Got a bald patch in my donor 3 weeks post op and my doctor said it’s shock loss and should recover in 3 months. I had fue. For those that had shock loss in your donor, did it fully grow back for you and how long did it take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyalex Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Yes, it recovered, I had it bad on one of my sides and was, in my mind, resigned to the fact it would never recover, It took 4 months but recovered entirely. Don't worry, 99% of the time, it will recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people experience shock loss in the donor and sometimes in the recipient too. However, everything comes back. However, the duration for the recovery could be subjective. It, however, takes a couple of months. Wish you a speedy recovery.
