Lost Hair After Transplant. Shock Loss Or What

[Medina]

I've developed an NW6 pattern 2weeks after hair transplant

The crown was good in shape before but now looks real thin

Anyone seen this before?

The transplant itself went great and is shedding nicely

I think you're eligible for a refund.

took grafts from your crown or what?

That's a bit weird, usually shock loss happens around the area where the grafts were taken so I am not sure in your case, it could still be shock loss, were you on any medication like minoxidil and have you stopped using it? that could be another thing, either way you should contact the clinic or the doctor that did the surgery they are more qualified should be able to help you.

No meds, no nothing

What have the clinic said?

Does seem weird...did they touch that part at all? If not then, further hair loss??

At what length did you generally have your hair pre surgery?
Perhaps provide another photo of your current situation and also any photos with longer hair pre hair transplant.

Situation is better now

There is no way you can lose that much hair in just 2 weeks, this has to be shock loss or something, I would be very surprised if you don't recover in a few months, wait a few months and grow your hair to assess things better, good luck

This could be shockloss. Depends on how much saline they injected to freeze your scalp and if they shocked your native hairs when making incisions. If it does not return in 8-9 months time, then something happened here and id ask other surgeons for consult on what to do. Best of luck

I had something similar as well. Did the front line and then realised 2 months after the procedure my crown is suddenly wrecked.

Have you started or stopped using minoxidil/finasteride? Becuase it could be due to shedding.

I have a similar hair loss pattern like you. Do you mind sharing your surgeon and how many grafts were used? Would appreciate some more pictures of how your hairline develops! Thanks

How did it go?

 

[Capone]

Is anything you can take pre or post to lessen shock loss?
