Chris,
Some hair restoration physicians will require shaving of the recipient area if hair is being transplanted into existing native hair. I recommend reading the following hair loss Q&A blog that gives more information about healing time and information related to hair transplantation: When will I look normal after a hair transplant? Falc To learn about how I restored my hair, read my hair restoration story with pictures. See also my hair loss weblog.

falc what work do you do?
can you please confirm something, concerning shock loss? falc, does shock loss only occur right next to the transplanted hairs? can i leave a small bufffer zone between my existing hairs and the hair transplant which will minimise shock loss? i have a norwood 2 or 3 - so i will only be getting a HT in the temple regions. |

I took the long road to avoid excessive shockloss. in addition, I used concealers to hide my transplants. Not all docs require you to shave JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research, and objective observations Total - 5017 FU's uncut! |

guyfromsydney,
What work do I do? You mean, for a full time job or how am I involved in this site?  Shock loss will not occur to hairs unless transplanted hairs are around or near them. Leaving a "buffer" zone so to speak will certainly help minimize the risk however depending on how big of a space left, you could have a gap that looks unnatural.
