Senior Member Leeson Posted May 14, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2009 Should be temporary. Takes 3-5 months to start growing after shock, sometimes a little longer. The donor area receives a lot of trauma during surgery and is susceptible to temporary shock loss. My Hair Loss Website - Dr. Hasson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dr. Ricardo Mejia Posted May 14, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2009 I have hade one case in a woman of severe shock loss in the donor area. It was a large session over 3000 grafts in an area of low density. The area did have some tension in the closure area. SHe was very concerned as well as I, but the hair did regrow completely with minimal if any permanent hair loss. Time will heal all wounds. I also recommended using rogaine 5% for my patient. WIth time, I hope your hair loss will improve. Do not worry.

Senior Member aska Posted May 15, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 15, 2009 Ty doctor, but when did she started to see grow on the Shock loss area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. Ricardo Mejia Posted May 16, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 16, 2009 Everybody is different, but in our case at 6 months we saw alot of hair growth in the area to reassure the patient and myself, everything was going to be fine. Hairs from the trichophytic closure were growing nicely through the incision line masking any evidence of a scar. If I ge4t a chance I will try to document her photo case and hair growth in a seperate section.
