Does shock loss in the donor area after FUE hair transplant grow back? (Photo)

May 30, 2016
Asked By:adj123 in Eugene, OR

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?
