Regular Member SharpTooth Posted November 27, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted November 27, 2009 First --- This was more of a "YES!" venting. After 2 weeks, got my sutures out. Local clinic who removed them said the donor area looked very clean and was healing very well. But to get them out is always a GREAT feeling! After 2 HT (800 and 2000 grafts) I never had shedding in the donor area, but I did this 3rd time (2600 grafts). I was wondering if anyone else had similar issue. From what I've read and have been told, it shold grow back with no problems. But found it interesting I didn't have this issue on the other 2 HTs.

Bill - Seemiller Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 SharpTooth, There's nothing more refreshing than getting sutures/staples removed after 10 plus long days of waiting :-). Donor area shock loss can happen, and it did for me a couple months into 2 of the 4 procedures. In both cases, all the hair came back, and I'm sure it will for you too :-) Happy growing!

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Unfortunately, there is no test we can perform to determine who will get hair loss due to shock and who will not. I have had several patients over the years with similar stories to yours. They had multiple procedures but only had donor shock loss 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.

Regular Member SharpTooth Posted November 30, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks guys for the insight. I've read about shockloss in the donor area, but after 2 HTs of no such loss, I just assumed I'd not see it on HT #3. My Hair Loss Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
