Senior Member LookMaxx Posted October 5, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2022 It does look like shockloss to me. Which clinic was it? If it’s a hairmill then could be overharvesting unfortuantely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven5856 Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 It was long hair centre in Istanbul, hopefully it’s just that it needs more healing and will grow back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted October 6, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2022 Wait another month, it might fill up more . I would like to ask instead @LookMaxx what kind of comment is his, that is, first he says it could be a loss of shock loss and after he says that if the procedure was done in a hair mill it could be an over haversting? 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 6, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2022 At 12 weeks it’s probably shock loss. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Steven5856 Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 Thanks for the help, it’s still not fully healed still a bit sensitive and itchy so hopefully will sort itself out over the next few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HairEnthusiast101 Posted October 7, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2022 Personally I think shock loss. The photo you posted of the front looks insane man! Congrats. Keep us updated and happy growth! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member WhereIsMyMind Posted October 18, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2022 I would find it ridiculous if they focused all extractions only on that patch so lets assume its shock loss. Unless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member WhereIsMyMind Posted October 18, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2022 If they extracted homogenously over a bigger area and only a subpatch looks overharvested it must be shockloss imo. Make sure to analyze how was the extraction pattern and compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyjon Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Over harvested for sure. That donor area doesn't look adequately dispersed enough. Time to fill the donor in now with body hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
