Abhijeet sawant Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Hello, I've undergone my HT 10 months back for my mid scalp area. Is it possible for shock loss to happen at 8th month after the procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TEXAN35 Posted June 6, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 6, 2023 If you had a lot of native hair which were in the process of miniaturization, the transplant may have expedited the process. I would say 8 months is too late to have shock loss. Usually by this time shock loss should have actually recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted June 6, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 6, 2023 Thanks, can you give some more details like who did the Ht, pre and post op pics? As it’s difficult to see what’s happening otherwise. 👍🏽🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted June 7, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 7, 2023 I don't think shock loss can happen after such a long time but you need to contact your surgeon and visit him/her and get your scalp checked...

Abhijeet sawant Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hi All, Firstly thank you so much for helping me out. The important thing that was missed to address along with my pictures. I was under a lot of stress from 6th month untill the 9th month post my HT. I've started taking finasteride 1mg everyday as advised by my doctor. To get a better understanding is this pattern called as telogen effluvuium and is there any possibility that I can get my hair back after 6-10 months. I've had a lot of hair shedding in those months of stress and now my hair looks pretty weak. Just wanted some valuable inputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahal Hair Transplant Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) @Abhijeet sawant, It is very unlikely that you would experience shock loss or any loss of the transplanted hair at 8 to 10 months postop. What’s likely happening, is that your genetic hair loss is continuing which is typical since hair transplant surgery does nothing to stop progression of male pattern baldness. Hair loss medication such as finasteride and minoxidil can help to slow it down or even stop it in the tracks but there’s no guarantee that this will work or that these will work forever. So I don’t know if you’re currently using medication but if you’re not, I suggest speaking to a physician about it, especially finasteride. I hope this helps.

Abhijeet sawant Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 @Rahal Hair Transplant The thread created by me was wrong. I'm new to the hair restoration community. To be precise I've started loosing hairs from my 6th Mon post HT untill my 9th month as mentioned above. I was under a lot of stress, due to which my hairs started thinning out. I'm able to control the hair fall further by taking 1mg finasteride as prescribed by the doctor. Lastly the thread should have been can telogen effluvium occur due to immense stress. Can you share some insight if my understanding is right or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mr_peanutbutter Posted June 13, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 13, 2023 keep taking finasteride and see if yoz are better in 6 month you could also add oral minoxidil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
