Danny, it may be a good idea to start a thread of your own in the Hair Restoration Topics section where more people will see your questions and respond.

Shock loss in the donor and recipient area are not the same.

I suffered no shock loss that I recall above the extraction in the donor, it was all below.

In the recipient area the transplant can kill miniaturised hair that is dying anyway. This has happened to me now in my crown, the thin hairs that were there have gone and it looks worse than ever, which is true until the transplants start to grow.

Use minoxidil in the affected areas twice a day, but keep it out of the scar itself. Check your clinic approves this, because they have a duty of on going care to you.

You may be OK with propecia, most guys are. Those like me are a minority.

Like I said, start your own thread with photos so other people can give their opinions. Hang in there, you are on a rollercoaster and have no choice but to see it through.

PS My shock loss is below the extraction area above rhe left ear but below the scar. My closer on the left side was pretty tight and where they had to release some tension.

Thanks

Hi Modenese

I hope your are well..How is your hair transplant progressing?
Did you see any further growth improvement after 8 months ?

Also did you go in for the second procedure to correct the scar and improve the Temple points?

As I said my procedure was remarkably similar to your where the Dr had struggled to close one side of strip (Left side above the ear) and consequently he had to release 3 sutures to relieve the pressure which result in 1.5cm scar which I now have cover using COUVRE black cream which is similar to DERMATCH though i wish i did not have to result to this.

I am happy with my new hair and have had a lot of compliments but I feel that i might need the get the scar excised and possibly fill in the lateral humps and improve the temple points as well, what would you advise in such i situation with your advanced experience ?

Very best Regards
DannyBoy

Hi Danny

I'm good and had a second procedure for my thinning crown. That thread is on this board.

My scar is now a total non issue. I had some grafts placed into it and this really worked. I have my hair cut very short at the sides and it's just not a problem.

I will post what I think of the crown in that thread.

Why don't you start your own thread on this forum? We'd love to see.
