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.

Medications such a Propecia or Rogaine can help and for some people it may delay the balding for many years. Surgery also helps but it is just rearranging what you already have. Scalp MicroPigmentation also helps but that is not real hair. The point is that every option has its limitations....

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.
