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.
