If There’s No Growth a Year After My Hair Transplant, Should I Just Get Another One?

sir,

i would like to know that if hair don’t grow as expected after 1 year of transplantation then what should we do? can we go for 2nd surgery? what could be reason for that?some white marks are still there. how can i get rid of them? is it possible that after transplantaion some hair root was not fixed properly? i removed some of them on 4th day. could it be reason? plz help me.

Hair transplantation that failed is a subject you should discuss with the doctor who performed it. This doctor should give you a reasonable opinion as to why the failure occurred. When a hair transplant is unsuccessful, it is almost always caused by technical failures of the surgeon and his team. On rare occasions, the patient can have some disease like alopecia areata, but that should be evident to any educated doctor (which means the surgery is unnecessary and should not be done). As for removing grafts, perhaps you just got rid of scabs. I don’t know.

If your doctor does not give you a logical explanation, go get a second opinion and certainly do not go back to the doctor whose failed transplant was not a good experience. Why would you consider going back to the surgeon that has wronged you? You have a limited amount of donor hair, not to mention the value of your time, money, and confidence.
