If you're really concerned, you need to contact your doctor who can evaluate you and have you go into their office.

The good news is shockloss is almost always temporary. Try to remain calm, because excessive chronic stress can also cause more temporary shedding. Since you're three weeks after the procedure, its fine to start minoxidil. Just be aware that you may initially experience some more hair shedding not related to the shock loss as the minoxidil starts to work.

you think minox on the patchy part is possible ? will it grow back ?

If it's shock loss it will grow back on its own. Minoxidil may speed up the process a bit.

Definitely shock loss. You need to wait like 3-6 months before it grows back, need patience. You starting alot of threads you should just chill out, dont worry it will be just fine.

You should have a review thread where you say the Dr, amount of grafts and then just post everything there so its easy to follow your journey, then you dont need to make a new thread everytime you have a question.

Yes because your thread was named "hello guys im new here and i want opinions pls (4k grafts)" the name should be something like "Review Dr Resul Yaman 4000 grafts"

This thread is also about your hair transplant no? Its about shock loss from the transplant, if you have a thread you can ask everything in the thread and it will also help alot for people to follow your journey because they might be interested in Dr Resul Yaman aswell.

Do you have any photos of the donor area after the transplant? So we can see extraction. You have only posted on recipient area.

A photo like this:

We will see in some months about your donor area, you can update when you get longer hair. 

I see the driver there with face mask He was driving me all the time, I also did mine with Dr Yaman.

4000 grafts is alot of grafts, I hope they did a good job with extraction specially because you are only 24 years old and already have lost alot of hair.

Do you have any photos of the donor area before the hair transplant?

One of the primary ways that Minoxidil works is to make the growth cycle for your hairs longer. That change can cause temporary shedding when you stop or start it. You don't need to apply the minoxidil to your donor hair permanently though. In the areas you are losing hair, If you are going to address your hair loss with hair transplants and you have a more severe loss pattern, its always best to take finasteride and minoxidil forever if you don't get side effects to help you hold on to as much of your hair and enhance them as possible. You don't want to run out of hair down the road.

Ultimately it depends on how your unique body physiology and where your hairs happen to be in their growth cycles. You might not have any shedding at all. I didn't when I started minoxidil, but then other guys report that they do. That donor hair that has been shocked into the resting phase due to your surgery is not vulnerable to the hormones that cause loss like the hairs on top so I think you probably have an even better chance of either not shedding at all or the shedding being fairly minor. Most of what guys shed when they stop are the vulnerable hairs on top that they were going to lose anyway.
