Shock loss after eyebrow transplant?

You will likely have transplanted hairs fall out after eyebrow surgery.  Sometimes you can have shock hair loss of your native eyebrow hairs.  Each patient is different.

Shock loss after an eyebrow transplant is not usual. It is a known risk. Wait until the new eyebrow hairs grow and see if the native hairs return. If they do not, see your surgeon.  I usually, on the rare occasions that this happens, make it ‘right’. 

It is not common to have shock loss (telogen effluvium) after eyebrow transplant. Hair lost from shock loss will generally regrow unless you have loss due to another condition such as underlying hypothyroidism. Applying Rogaine 5% on grafted area beginning on day 3 post-operatively is what we have our patients follow.
