Asked By:pucku in Ann Arbor, MI

Hi, I'd like to know how common shock loss in the donor area is and if there is any case of permanent hair lost after hair transplant with FUE technique? Also if it's more likely to happen to people with fine haire (genetically fine I mean, not thin or weak) or this has nothing to do with it? Thank you!
