So about 2months ago I had a ht and am really worried because one side of my scar is really bad and no hair is growing out of it. My hair is longer and still doesn't really cover it.
Take a look and please tell me what you think.  DSCF1804.JPG (129 KB, 204 downloads) scar 2months |

Hey that's a pretty big scar area, my new scar is kinda like that near the temples due to shock loss. My Dr. said that shock loss around the scar is pretty common and it can take 3-5 months to grow back...so I wouldn't panic yet, but I feel your pain. Waiting sucks...

that kinda looks like a scar similar to that of mine..unfortunately, mine was not a shock loss and have to bear the that scar.. but i'd give it a few more months before concluding it not being a shock loss scar...

Am0986,
You may very well be experiencing some donor shock loss, which is typical a couple months out from a hair transplant. I know it's hard, but the best thing you can do at this point is wait it out and see how the scar matures. If in the event there's an issue upon maturation, I have faith that Dr. Meshkin will do whatever he can to help you meet your goals.

It's very difficult from that pic to determine if the entire area is a scar or if it's from shockloss. Although I was informed by my doc that area is where the biggest risk of stretching occurs.

Am 0986,
Is it mostly shock loss around the donor area or has your scar stretched out a bit. From the picture, it seems like a little of both. Anyway, if it's shock loss, then the native hair will return in a month or so. If it's scar stretching then you'll have to keep your hair long around the donor area. |

I am fairly sure that it has stretched. That's why I am worried. The weird part is the rest of the scar is almost hair line thin. Just another thing to be annoyed by, like if losing your hair at 17 wasn't crappy enough.

Here a few other pics to show why I am worried.

Two things:
1. It's normal to have some temporary shock loss around the donor scar. Give it a few more months and it should start looking better. 2. The scar below it is making the entire area look worse. Instead of having only the one new scar to cover, you also have to cover an old scar below it which can't be completely covered because of the shock loss from the new scar. As said in #1, give it a few months and it should look a bit better. |

Ah, I didn't notice the second scar below. What BeHappy said sounds dead on.
