Shock loss in donor after a procedure?

After a hair transplant is there always shock loss in the donor area or does it depend on each indvidual case?

Thanks in advance.

Possible with FUE but will grow back as it is temp shock loss, uncommon with FUT.

It depends if you are speaking about follicular unit hair transplantation using strip harvesting (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). With FUT, it is extremely uncommon to have any shock hair loss in the donor area. This could occur if the hair transplant procedure was done improperly, i.e. the donor area was closed too tightly. In this case, some hair loss may be permanent. This is one of the reasons that very large hair transplant sessions are unwise. Shock hair loss in FUE is more common, but is generally not significant and should eventually recover completely.

That said, some shock hair loss in the recipient area is quite common with either hair restoration procedure (FUT or FUE). This is particularly the case if there is a lot of existing miniaturized hair (hair that is starting to thin) in the transplanted area.

Thank you for the feedback. Very much appreciated chaps.

I think it depend on the individual hair that how much good .
