Based on his initial examination Dr. Umar, knew that he couldn’t take any more hair from the head to repair the shock loss to the patient’s scalp. This prompted Dr. Umar to recommend a body hair transplant. He then set out to evaluate the shape, thickness, and other characteristics of the patient’s body hair. Dr. Umar needed to find hair that matched the consistency of the hair already present on the head, and that would grow to a similar length as the rest of the surrounding hair. After some research, Dr. Umar and the patient opted to transplant 600 grafts of hair from the patient’s beard for hair reconstruction.
In this case, the patient did not set a goal of improving his thinning hair. Rather, he sought to conceal the damage from his previous surgery and camouflage the areas of shock loss present on his scalp. Using the Dr.UGraft, Dr. Umar gave the patient the coverage he needed. He also ensured that the transplanted hair would angle to match the hair already present. This patient made it clear that he wanted the transplanted hair to match the existing hair on his head as closely as possible.
The image below shows close-up results of the patient’s scalp. Note the direction of the donor’s hair in relation to the rest of the hair. Not only does the new hair conceal the patient’s strip surgery scars, the hair also conceals the areas of previous hair loss.

Shock Loss Around Strip Surgery Scars – Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the cause of hair in the donor area thinning near strip surgery scar?
In general, the appearance of hair loss can occur near a donor area as a result of several factors. Oftentimes, the stretching of the hair near the scar can create the appearance of balding. In other words, the follicles spread out over the stretched skin are spread further apart, so the hair appears less dense. Hair loss can also occur as a result of trauma or damage to the hair roots during surgery. The knife incisions used in strip surgeries can damage the hair bulbs, effectively destroying them.
Is there such a thing as shock loss around FUE donor area?
Yes. Precipitous hair loss in the area of FUE harvesting of head hair can occur within a few weeks of the surgery. Trauma to adjacent hairs from the FUE extractions causes the balding to occur. In that instance, the body releases cytokines that can cause hair loss.
Hair loss can also result from direct trauma to the hair from the punches used in FUE. This type of trauma generally occurs when bigger punches are utilized. In this case, the hair loss is often temporary. The situation tends to auto-correct within 3-6 months of onset. In patients suffering from shock loss, the use of minoxidil in the area can hasten the recovery.
