I recently had a FUE procedure. now 13 days post-op and I'm looking at other results here. I notice that low cost clinics tend to create a sort of zigzag pattern (top image) with follicles implanted almost in line, whereas in my case (bottom image) there is no pattern; the follicles seem to be implanted randomly. So I was wondering, does it make a difference when the hair has grown back or iss the zigzag/line pattern totally invisible ? Is one of the implantation type superior to the other?

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,
