Worried Sick About Shock Loss Potential! – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

Dear Dr Rassman,

I am having my second HT transplant soon to refine my frontal line and to provide more density at the sides. I am worried sick about shock loss. Is there a possibility of this happening with new grafts that will be placed between the newly transplanted grafts that are growing well?

Thank you.

You should not have shock loss with transplanted hair — that is, hair that has been moved from your permanent area to new recipient sites. If you’ve had a previous transplant in the past 3 years or so and are taking finasteride, the risk of shock hair loss is very low.
