Donor Area Hair Loss After Third Hair Transplant Procedure

This [tag]hair loss[/tag] question was answered by  Dr. Glenn Charles of Florida  who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.   His professional answer is below.

After 2 [tag]hair transplants[/tag] (800 and 2000 grafts), I never experienced hair loss in the donor area, but I did this 3rd time after 2600 follicular unit grafts. I was wondering if anyone else had similar issues.

Unfortunately, there is no test we can perform to determine who will get hair loss ([tag]telogen effluvium[/tag])  due to shock and who will not. I have had several [tag]hair transplant[/tag] patients over the years with similar stories to yours. They had multiple procedures but only had donor [tag]shock loss[/tag] after one of the procedures. I am happy to say that in all those cases the patients eventually had full recovery in the donor area.
