shock loss is always a risk that patients need to consider, shock loss can be quite uncommon in the right hands provided that the surgeon will do not push the density too high but in some cases it might not be reversible.
In those cases it usually occurs in first 1 to 3 months following the procedure and it affects fine hairs with follicles that have some degree of miniaturization to them while the strong terminal (normal) hairs are quite resistant to shock loss. in other words if you are going to loose an existing hair to shock loss, it is probably a hair that was meant to fall in the near future and in most cases it is going to grow back after the shock.
Although the risk is very low, patients that get quite concern about shock loss are advised not to go with the hair transplant path until they understand and accept that they may risks in any type of surgery even if they are small risks.
several methods have been suggested to eliminate this problem. topical agents like minoxidil and haircycle can help prevent and also if you take propecia or avodart regularly.
The crown or vertex is a technically challenging area, it is characterized by a swirling pattern of hairs . Also, the crown has a bigger potential size and demands more follicles to cover a bigger surface area which is limited in even the best hair transplant candidates.
As you might indicate from the above, it takes a very good surgeon to deal with those natural swirling patterns of the crown and with the supply and demand issues. the surgeon need to have artistics skills and use the best technique...
With FIT and body hair we can get more supply to overcome the supply and demand issue.
it will be very hard to know how many grafts you need, i suggest that you send your details followed by some photos
and get an accurate estimate for your hair transplant candidacy...
Thanks |
