Am I safe from shock loss? I had hair transplant 6 weeks ago. So far I don't feel I have shock loss on my native hair. 1. Am I safe from shock loss? 2. Doctor transplanted about 1 cm into my hairline.Over time, without taking medication, does transplanted hair affect surrounding native hair? I heard that hair transplant can accelerate surrounding native hair to fall, but is this side effect one time thing? (due to the transplantation procedure) or it keeps affecting native hair? (due to the existence of transplanted hair)

If you are having issues after your surgery, the best person to ask is your surgeon who knows the specifics of your surgery.
Your donor area will always look "thinner" proportionate to the number of hairs taken out after a FUE harvesting surgery. The hairs will NOT grow back from the donor ...
If you are concerned about your recipient area, please follow up with your doctor for an exam.
You will have hair loss after surgery. You may have graft loss after surgery. Not all the grafts will take. You won't really know until you see results in 6 to 12 months.
I don't recommend touching your surgery area for about a week after surgery. Touching your head afterwards won't cause permanent damage. But also, you should get contact your doctor first and ask for information.
