QUESTION: I have had two hair transplants in the past. The second one was 6 months ago, and my doctor has suggested that I get additional grafts in the temple area. I am wondering, though, if these new grafts could destroy, through shock loss, the newly grown hair from my recent transplant? I am already on Propecia for the treatment of the shock loss.
ANSWER: Thanks for your question. I would definitely suggest speaking about this with your doctor. He should be able to provide answers for you! Definitely, the shock loss from your transplant 6 months ago should be well over. Although we can attempt to prevent shock loss with Propecia, it is not always successful in every case. It is therefore possible that you could lose some of the hair from the previous transplant in the temple area from shock loss caused by the new grafts.
