Serious Shock Loss After Fut Very Worried

[fugged]

years ago I visited dr Rassman because I was semi considering a bit of work on my crown.. He wouldn't do it because I had too much hair and he was afraid of shock loss.

He said this: the whole reason anesthetic works is by starving the nerves of blood temporarily. This is necessary because scalps bleed like crazy, so I think general anesthetic won't work. That blood loss can shock and kill existing hairs. I appreciated his frank honesty. Seemed like a decent person.

Buddy, I would say don't do anything for several months. If after 2 years you are not happy with the results then maybe seek out a new doctor.

2 years?
If you are not happy by 8 months seek another alternative.
Most top surgeons will operate on you after 12 months.
I have never seen a hair come out or comeback after 8 months in my 12 surgeries.

2 years is not necessary and way too long.

I dont understand why im losing so much hair everyday. Minoxil is supposed to stop that but its not working.

Minoxidil doesn't stop hair loss, it encourages growth. Finnasteride stops hairloss.

Curious if there’s any updates here. I’m not a surgeon but I don’t recommend messing with your scar. You could try a simple derma roller from Amazon. I’m pretty sure they’ve been proven effective at reducing scar tissue buildup.

b real, I have to say if my doctor treated me in my situation like what you described I would be extremely displeased

I used hair fibres for the first 3-4 months after my transplant. That initial growth stage sucks! After 4-5 months though my density just came through and I was using it less and less upto 6 months where I stopped using them.

You should really consider a DHT blocker though! I used to take Propecia every day but now just have one Avodart tablet once a week + wash my hair every Sunday with Nizoral 2% shampoo. The last 2 years - so far so good!

Will hair fibers not affect the growth of the transplants especially during the first couple of months?

No. That is another myth. Not true at all.
