Can new grafts destroy my old transplant?

May 20, 2008 | Filed Under hair transplant |

QUESTION:
Hi Dr Jones 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 by way
of shock loss the newly grown hair from my recent transplant?  I am
already on propecia for 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 the use of propecia it is not always in 100% of cases
successful.  It is therefore possible that you could loose some of the
hair from the previous transplant in the temple area from shock loss
caused by the new grafts.
