You can speak with your surgeon about your disappointment and you will need an other transplant. You will have to decide if you should use the same doctor or another doctor if you lost faith, Sometime a person picks the wrong doctor. We have written an outline on how to find a good doctor here: https://baldingblog.com/selecting-hair-transplant-doctor/
The skin after a beard transplant takes a few months to become normal as some swelling often remains in the skin and soft tissue of the face. Consider returning to see your doctor if you are concerned.
The scar on your mustache area can easily be treated with a small hair transplant either with beard hair from under your chin or scalp hair if it is thick enough.
You have a pattern of balding that indicates that you will probably lose all of the hair on the top of your head, maybe the frontal forelock will remain, maybe not. Based upon your skin color, I suspect that you may have an Indian heritage which means to me that your donor supply will be lower than the donor supply of the typical Caucasian. Your doctor needs to build a Master Plan with you, measure your donor hair density and donor supply for the long term. This will determine not only what you need now but what you will need in the future as well. I suspect the first surgery will take at least 2,000 grafts and further surgeries in the next few years may be required as you lose the rest of the hair on your head. I also suggest that you consider taking the drug Finasteride to protect the hair that you have left for both the short and long term.
The number of grafts depends upon the thickness of your hair. If your hair is fine, then possibly 1,300 grafts would be needed, but if your hair was coarse, then 800 grafts might suffice. Medium hair is somewhere between.
These bumps may be caused by too much skin on the grafts or grafts may not have been placed flat and flush with the surrounding skin at the time of the transplant. A repeat transplant with single hair grafts that have the skin trimmed off and placed flush will overwhelm the problem and address much of it, but it will still be there.
A natural hairline is one where someone never comes up to you and says “you had a great hair transplant”. A natural hairline created by a hair transplant is one that is undetectable by your friends, even those who have lost their hair.
If the protein powder has steroids in it and you have the genes for balding, you will lose hair and that is a given. Look at the labeling on the bottle which, by law, must list the components in it.
When asked if transplanted hair will last, I always tell patients that transplanted hair will last as long as the hair in the back and sides of the head, which generally last a lifetime. However, transplanted hair can undergo senile alopecia and I have occasionally seen people’s transplanted hair thin out many years after the transplant but this is very rare. Generally, you can expect transplanted hair to last well into your senior years.
A hair transplant in women are often not a good idea because the donor hair is often miniaturized and these miniaturized hairs, when transplanted, will continue the miniaturization process. A better treatment for women with thinning hair is Scalp MicroPigmentation.
What I need is a frontal picture with your hair pulled back and your eyebrows lifted high so that your forehead creases. That shows me the anatomic points that allows me to determine the proper place of the hairline. Then your question can be answered. This picture suggests hair loss in the front as well as the large crown loss shown in the picture you supplied. You should send photos of the frontal area as well so that we don’t give you half an answer to your question.
