Shock loss

[Condor]

[QUOTE=Condor;41907]Hey David s,
I truly hope this helps. I wish I could send a picture of my hair right now. I actually have one of a week ago. Amazing. And I went through hell for it. Pimples, blood, gross itchy stuff the doctor never talked about. My last HT took 13 hours. But look at the results. I wish you the best luck!

Whenever hair shocks out, it's the hair follicles that go into the telogen (resting) phase and whether it's the existing hair follicles or transplanted hair follicles, they will rest for approximately 3-4 months and then re-enter the growth (anagen) phase and resume hair growth.

However, very debilitated hair that is thin and on it's way out may not come back and produce hair again. But like many will tell you, that hair would not be around much longer any way whether shocked out or not.

So the transplants and the natural hair should cycle through togethor and that's where you will notice it visually and see the increase in overall density as well as coverage.

But remember, this all takes up to one year to see the result of regrowth.

Best wishes to you!

It's been 7 months and my shocked hair grew back. It was grafts that were shocked. I belive most of your hair should grow . Maybe hair that was ready to fall out soon might not

Hey Frankie boy,
Which hair came back first ,,,the lost hair or the new HT,,,or could you tell,,,,was it all back in 7 months and how long before you could see the growth?

Hey David, I was in the exact same situation as you. I also lost all my grafted hair following a transplant. I was devastated. And I am a model, so you understand. You cannot imagine. But sure enough, it all grew back. Slowly, but it did. And I did not exactly follow the doctor's orders, which was protein, green tea, vegetables and blah blah blah. I was too depressed about my hair loss. So it was French Fries, mayonnaise, and Jack Daniels for me for a while. But things got better. Hang in there. Things will get better, I promise. I now have a full head of hair.

Hey Condor,
Thanks for the reassurance ,,,,I am only at week 9 and wear a hat now because I am bald losing all my other hair to shock loss,,,waiting is the hard part,the HT took 8 hours but no problems or discomfort.it seems like I can feel little hairs just can't see it yet.

Hey Frankie, I'm in the exact same situation. I opted for a fourth, and last, transplant two and a half weeks ago, to fill out my previous transplants, and a lot of my previous hair grafts fell out, which I thought were shockproof. Now I look much worse than before the last HT. Sure hope everything will grow as the doctor says...

Never had shock loss after any of my HTs. What I had was much much worse than shock loss. My transplanted hair is falling out. This has happened for the fourth time. Not all of it but maybe half....so far.

BTW, how many grafts in total did you have in these 4 HTs and were they for the whole head or just a certain part ??

Hey David, hang in there.

Shockloss

I had a transplant done by Dr E Epstein in Richmond Va.in mid Aug. 2011 I had2969 grafts.2 weeks later I lost almost all the hair I already had on the top of my head.shock loss is what they said.I am very freaked but was told it will come back,,,is there a chance it won't and when will I see the new hair?which should come back first,,,the hair from the shock loss or the transplanted hair?Now I really am bald before it was just thinning.

Ok Frankie, it's been 7 months since my HT and I have to say, it looks GREAT!

I never thought my hair could look this thick or shiny. I am thrilled with my HT, although it was f%$king hell for a while. Hell. For a long time... I had tons of pimples on my scalp which I scratched during my sleep, my nails were filled with blood every morning, I was literally a bloody mess, I had to wear my hair in such a ridiculous way you can not even imagine, like Curly from the Three Stooges, except thinner. Bandanas, hats, everything. My scalp used to itch like I had a colony of ants in there. BUT... Now, it was all worth it. Hang in there. It's worth it. Now I still use Toppik, but so little, like a sprinkle, just close to the hairline, although if I weren't so vain, I could do without it. After all, I am in my forties... And looking GOOD!!! Wish you the best!

Condor & Frankie & Condor,

Your shockloss should be temporary. This can happen even though some of the shock was previous transplanted hair.

Shock loss

It's been almost 2 months now and I see a slight improvment I hope all my previous grafts grow back and I also look worse than before

Shock Loss

Thanks for the input i went to a doctor who is not on this forum
My 3rd Transplant i went to a doctor on this forum and did not get good results ....There alot of good doctors out there who are not on Transplant Websites. I did not make the Doctor shave my head because i had to go to work the next week also there is less of a chance of Transection. I hope all my previous grafts grow back and my new grafts grown in good
