How Soon Can Shock Loss Start After a Hair Transplant?

Hello,

I am a female, 26 years old who just had a hair transplant ( 1000 grafts). It is 16 days post-op and Im starting to lose alot of hairs ( not the transplanted ones). Can shock loss occur this early on? Or is this something else ?

thank you very much in advance

Any hair loss between 2-12 weeks after surgery is often a sign of shock loss, so what you’re seeing fits within that timeframe. Check with your doctor.
