Shock Loss and Hair Transplant in Women

Dr. Rassman, I am now just over 8 weeks post-op (1,600 grafts). I am “not quite sure” about shock loss. I seem to have an area that seems thinner than it used to be before the HT. How do I know it’s shock loss? Will it get worse? Why do I still feel stubble (grafts) on my scalp?

Thanks very much.

From the name you gave, I gather you are female. If that is true, you can expect that some or all of the hair loss may reverse in 4-6 months, even if it is transplant shock from the surgery. Best to speak with your doctor and bond with him/her.
