TH123 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Some of you may have read my previous post about Cosmedica being reckless with my donor area. It’s now a month post op and it’s not looking any better. Is there any possibility of this looking normal? Any similar cases?

Senior Member mister_25 Posted June 5, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2023 My donor looked very depleted for the first 3 months, and it only started to look decent by the 3.5 month mark and by 4 months it had grew back. Do you have post-op photos so we can see the extractions? 1 12+ Months Finasteride + Minoxidil 3872 FUE w/ Dr Hasson | November 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Belve Posted June 5, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 5, 2023 One month post op is too early to judge. Most probably is shock loss which come back after 6-7 months. So just be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member duckling Posted June 5, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 5, 2023 its tough to judge at 1 month. give it 3+ months and keep checking until month 6. your donor should have filled in by then if its just shock loss. i do agree that it looks depleted for now. overharvesting or shock loss that you will get to know in coming months.

I’ve seen examples of shock loss photos tho and it doesn’t look like that. It’s normally confined to one area. This is how it looks all over the donor area.
