I Don’t See Shedding, But My Hair is Thinner Immediately After My Transplant
I have noticed immediate thinning after hair transplant, however I have not noticed any shock loss of even an increased number of hairs falling out in the shower/pillow – How is the recipient area thinner, if there is no signs of shedding?
Will the hair, thicken and grow back as before and what will be the length of time in this case? You reply would be very much appreciated. best reagrds.
You almost certainly lost native hair with the transplant if you notice a thinner look. Not all men will regrow the hair if they lose it from shock loss following a hair transplant. If you were on finasteride (Propecia) before the surgery, the chance would be that the drug would protect you from such loss, but this is not an absolute rule.
If your hair is thinner, it’s not disappearing into thin air. You’re losing the hair somewhere, probably shedding it throughout the day.
Hey Doc,
what percentage of people under the age of 30 would you say experience shock loss? What about people over 30?
Thanks!
