Shock Loss in Donor Area
I was wondering if schock loss on the donor scar is common and will it grow back, I have two quarter size bald spots above each ear wher the surgeon had to take more donor hair. the rest of the scar also shows loss above and below the scar. it has me freaked out. should I be??
A reactive telogen effluvium is what you are describing. It usually, but not always, reflects a tight closure of the donor wound. It may be permanent, but you won’t know for about 4-7 months. Wait it out and keep your hair long while you are being patient. This complication needs discussion between you and your doctor.
