Regular Member Coverdale Posted March 13, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 13, 2022 Evening. I’m on day 18 of recovering after my HT that took place on 2/22. I’d like to get a haircut of the donor area, but wasn’t sure it this is reasonable at this point. also, is it possible to get shock loss in an area of your head that wasn’t touched during the procedure? I’m experiencing some thinning or complete hair loss in a small area around my temple. I had around 20 grafts transplanted a couple inches above this, but nothing in the area. I’ll attach a picture and circle the area. I thought shock loss commonly took place 1-2 months after the HT.. is 18 days too early for this? thanks!

Yes, I created a post in the review section covering everything. I tagged you in it a couple weeks ago, I think. Dr. Haber in Ohio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JoeMan Posted March 13, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 13, 2022 Did you just start taking finasteride? I believe it can cause some shedding in the early months. Honestly I'm not sure what else will cause this. Possibly stress? Did you reach out to your Dr? @Melvin- Moderator has more experience I'm sure. Have you seen this before?

What’s the time frame when I should expect to see shock loss, if I get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JoeMan Posted March 14, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2022 This could be the reason but honestly I'm not sure. Have you reached out to your Dr about this? If it's from finasteride I believe the hair should regrow almost immediately. I'm pretty sure that whatever is going on should be temporary. I'm not a Dr by any means though so if you haven't already, I'd contact your Dr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JoeMan Posted March 14, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2022 Maybe @DrTBarghouthi can help here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jackiema Posted March 14, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 14, 2022 Can you provide a picture of the shock loss area before you were shaved for the procedure so we can compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
