Why Subsequent Hair Transplant Procedures Can Cause Temporary Hair Loss
Category: Complications , FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) , FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) , Hair Transplant Surgery , Post Operative ConcernsThe goal of hair transplant surgery is to give patients more hair than they had prior to surgery. However, unlike other cosmetic procedures, sometimes patients look worse after surgical hair restoration before they look better.
Some patients are plagued by a temporary hair loss condition known as telogen effluvium or “shock loss” which can occur anytime hair is transplanted in between or around existing hair. This is true whether the hair is natural or previously transplanted. This often causes great concern for those who don’t expect it, and even those that do; it can be a real brain buster causing mild anxiety.
View this hair loss discussion thread to learn and discuss why shock loss occurs and how to get through the doldrums while waiting for new hair regrowth.
