Stanley N. Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Had a 2nd hair transplant in Turkey with Asli Tarcan on February 1st 2024, the took hair under my chin (my beard), since then the donor area isn’t growing back. It was my 2nd hair transplant with them and after my first transplant 2 years ago, my beard (donor) grew back fast within 6 weeks. This time it’s not growing at all and it has been almost 3 months. I’m freaking out. Is there a solution for this? Please see my attached pictures. Help please! is it normal to take this long? will it recover back to normal or close to normal? Any recommendations on how I can fix this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Hairwolf Posted April 21 Senior Member Share Posted April 21 Sorry to hear this. Your first transplant was successful? There have been negative reviews about this clinic. It appears you may have shockloss in the beard area so give it another while yet. Oral minox may help that as well. If not, you may need a scalp to beard transplant by an expert in Europe for example Bisanga or Mwamba. Avoid Turkey again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley N. Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 (edited) Thank you so much. I’m praying it’s just a shock lost because it’ll be 3 months May 1st and I’m freaking out. Edited April 21 by Stanley N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted April 21 Senior Member Share Posted April 21 I agree with @Hairwolf, it could be shock loss, wait a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley N. Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 @BaldDude @ITA @Hairwolf May 1st will be 3 months from my surgery. How much longer should I wait to know the full result; if this is a shock loss or over harvest? The attached picture below was 7 days after the surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted April 22 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 22 How many grafts were used from your beard? This needs lots of patience and as has been said before could just be shock loss. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted April 22 Senior Member Share Posted April 22 @Stanley N. the shock loss generally falls between 4 and 6 months, be patient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member laverita Posted April 22 Regular Member Share Posted April 22 As said it can be shock, please post the post op surgery photos of the extractions so we can see where and how intense they were taken or it is guess work. How many grafts taken and what was the concentration etc. Photos will give an idea of what to expect and then what is probably shock. To go back to them a second time as you did, then you probably had a pleasing result and trust them, so ask and speak to them also if you have concerns as you should have a relationship with them now and they can assist. Minoxidil can help if there is shock and they can guide you. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
