Why Surgical Hair Restoration May Cause Temporary Hair Loss

Nobody considers undergoing surgical hair restoration only  to experience more hair loss. However, “shock loss” is a real risk when transplanting hair in between and around existing natural hair. Thankfully in most cases, shock loss is temporary and may only be permanent to hairs on their way out anyway or if your surgeon transects (cuts through) the hair follicles killing them.

Thanks to leading hair transplant surgeons in the field, new ultra refined tools allows a surgeon to place grafts into tiny incisions, minimizing trauma to the scalp and minimizing the risk of shock loss. Permanent shock loss due to transection is also next to impossible using these newly refined techniques.

In this hair loss  discussion, real patients share their experiences with shock loss, when you are likely to experience it, and how long it lasts. You are encouraged to share your own personal experience and how shock loss may or may not have impacted you.
