I had a 1,000 graft fue hair transplant about 3.5 months ago. Now that my donor area is growing out, I am noticing quite a bit of shock loss. The picture is not me, however, I have the same loss as seen in the picture on both sides of my head. What are the chances of regrowth? How long does it take to grow?

You are unlikely to have shock loss in areas far from the donor or recipient area. However, there are variations of formulations and patterns that can occur particularly on the skin of aforementioned areas. Shock loss is due to the loss of normal hair whether it is from donor site or recipient...
Thank you for your question. You should experience shedding at the 3-4 month post op mark. You are nearing that timeline. I suggest that you consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon for more information and a potential in-person examination.Best wishes,
Thank you for your question. Your grafts are sufficiently in place at the 3 month mark, however, it would not hurt for you to consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,
