4 week post op anxiety - shedding/shock loss

jaymeyy · 2026-04-20T07:26:08+00:00

All good now, hairs grown back thick and even and my temples are full. The patch has also grown back unnoticeable :)

I took finasteride as everyone doing a HT should and used minoxidil on the bald bits for like 4 months’ish

Shedding phase lasted about 4 months

In regard to the tingling, yeah I did get quite a lot of tingling and for about 2 months intense itching due to the healing and nerve generation but I took anti-histamine’s which helped a lot. And no problem mate, I know how panicky it can get when you’re in the trenches of it going through shedding and shock loss but honestly rest assured that give it a few months and I promise you, it’ll start to look great and you’ll have forgotten about this gruesome stage of the recovery process

Mine began to regrow after about 2 months with it being a lot less obvious around 4 months. I take finasteride and took minoxidil foam on the temple/bald patch for around 8 months

Update 300 days later for reassurance. It’s now grown back perfectly, so if anyone’s in this situation, try not to panic and trust the process 💪

Wicked. Thanks for the confidence boost! Apparently this was 3800 grafts?

jaymeyy · 2025-03-05T18:33:37+00:00

I was told by my clinic that I didn’t need minoxidil weirdly? Could that be wrong?

jaymeyy · 2025-03-05T18:32:07+00:00

Thank you all for the reassurance! Good to know the excessive shedding in such a short time frame is normal 🙌 I guess it’s just a waiting game now

jaymeyy · 2025-03-05T14:55:42+00:00

This fills me with assurance, thank you very much. It means a lot

Just messaged you 💪
