Is it normal to have hair shock loss 2 months after hair transplant and in areas far away from donor and recipient area?

Asked By:Blaze1984 in Richmond, Virginia

I had a hair transplant two months ago, around 1700 grafts mainly in temples and frontal area (FUT method). Now I am noticing fast and sudden thinning of my vertex and crown area, although I am on dutesteride and minoxidil. Could this be hair shock loss this far away from the donor and recepient area?
