Answer: Minimal sun exposure most likely did not damage your grafts.
Hello. I noticed you wrote in several months ago and was wondering how you’re doing. At this point you should have full growth and hopefully things are going well. If you have nay questions please let me know. Best wishes.Dr. T
Shedding is the loss of the transplanted hairs. Shock loss on the other hand is hair loss surrounding the transplanted area. Generally, the hair lost during shock loss will return.
It may take 8-12 months before seeing the final results of your hair transplant surgery. If you are concerned with the density and shape, follow up with your surgeon for an exam.
