Is it normal to have shock loss immediately after hair transplant? And would the native hair grow back for sure? (Photo)

Asked By:vladis004 in Lebanon, TN

2 days ago I had FUE hair transplant. During the surgery I noticed my frontal hair has gone I asked the Doctor and he told me that I just can't see it right now. After washing my hair I can see for sure that I lost my frontal hair. What happened I read shock loss happens after a month not during the surgery

Answer: Shock loss can happen after surgery. There is no rule or time line of when it may happen. If you are concerned.
