    Default Shock Loss

    Hi, this is my second transplant. I'm almost 6 weeks in, and the shock loss is pretty bad. Starting to panic a little. The 6/11 photo is before and the 6/30 is after. Any thoughts?

    Try not to worry if you went with a skilled surgeon shock loss should only be temporary and will grown back around 3-5 months in most cases. I take it your Doc didn't shave the recipient area when placing the grafts?

    I did. Dr leonard in MA. I ha this during my 1st procedure too. Although I'd say it's a little more aggressive this time. I also got a pimple in the recipient area that I noticed last night. Is this a positive?

    I saw your thread on another forum and replied to you on it.

    Don't know Dr. Leonard but if he is good, then things will thicken up but it will take some time.

    You should be fine. Shock loss happens, especially when transplanting into more dense areas.
