Regular Member Capelli21 Posted June 23, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2023 I am so curious how bad my shock loss to the native hairs aka hairs transplanted last year is going to be. Dr Das told me I may not have shock loss due to recipient being more sparse in the midscalp and crown prior to the procedure. Can anybody that's had a 2nd procedure for density weigh in with their experience?

I asked Dr. Somesh about the the shock loss. According to him, chances of shock loss for the transplanted hairs are very low. Basically in my case, my scalp was visible. So, grafts were placed in between so that they support each other and help each other so that scalp isn't visible. Btw I saw your video in the yt channel of Eugenix. Undoubtedly great transformation. 2 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱 (𝐃𝐫.𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐡) | 𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟑𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐬 | 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 | 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝗕𝘆 𝗘𝘂𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also on finasteride for Three months before my repair procedure. Also took it during my first procedure, had some issues But the good news is " finax" which I bought recently So far didn't give me any side effects. taking three times in a week from last two weeks. I might increase the dosage into four/five times in a week. So far experience has been great. You can give it a try.

Regular Member Capelli21 Posted July 9, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2023 Hello fam, sharing my 1 month update: I'm shaving the back and sides with a number one guard. Not sure if it's reality or just my perception but it feels like the hair on top of my head just isn't growing very fast at all... Also I see some linear patterns on my donor area that I did not experience after my first surgery, wondering if this is normal? I'm not sure if it's donor shock loss but I'm hoping it clears up over time! 1 EUGENIX / DR DAS / NORWOOD 6 / 6005+2203 = 8208 TOTAL GRAFTS / JULY 2022, JUNE 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BackFromTheBrink Posted July 9, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2023 It's looking good with consistent density across your head. We all know what the front turned out like, so the signs are very good for the rest. You may still have some shock loss in the donor, but it may be that you will need to wear your hair longer than I one guard given the number of grafts you had extracted. Happy growing - I'm sure it'll look fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Capelli21 Posted August 18, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hello guys, just checking in to share a little update, as 2 months just passed last week. I definitely have experienced a little shock loss of native hairs (from last year's HT) on my midscalp. I want to say there's been a tiny bit of loss in the crown too, but not as much as the midscalp area, probably bc the crown was less dense to start. I still have some loss in the scalp donor as you can see, there are strange patterned lines. Ive spoken to Eugenix about it, and they said they feel confident this will start to clear up around month 4, and as Hard as it is... I trust them. I just shave it down with a 1/2 guard to minimize it cause it looks horrible when grown out. Not much else to report, feel free to ask any questions, otherwise see you at month 3! 3 EUGENIX / DR DAS / NORWOOD 6 / 6005+2203 = 8208 TOTAL GRAFTS / JULY 2022, JUNE 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Grouse Posted August 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted August 18, 2023 Wow you look incredible! You must be thrilled - congratulations sir! Couple questions if you get a chance: 1. Are you on any medications? 2. Do you have any pictures of your donor before surgeries? Another angle from the pictures below maybe? Trying to get a sense of how it looked before going in. It looks untouched even after 2 surgeries - amazing! 3. Your hair looks thick and wavy - was it always that way before too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre absolutely right, this is definitely the hardest place to be.. you know, 2 mos after my first HT, I had nothing to lose.. in my mind I threw up a hail Mary, and any hair growth that occurred would be a blessing... but now my 2nd time around, I bigtime underestimated how hard it would be, and the toll it would take on me emotionally; this time, pre-HT I had a head of hair that I was really liked, and it was long and I was so happy with it. My advice would be to anyone who finds themselves in this specific situation to seriously prepare yourself mentally to have it all shaved off, and really endure this long, dark period aka ugly duckling. I hope to never have to do this again lol 2 EUGENIX / DR DAS / NORWOOD 6 / 6005+2203 = 8208 TOTAL GRAFTS / JULY 2022, JUNE 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
