Hair Transplant Failure (with Photos)
This young man had a hair transplant by a doctor who had done very few transplants on his own. He might have actually been this doctor’s first hair transplant patient. The procedure, which occurred around 5 years ago, failed after the doctor attempted transplanting around 1200 grafts. The patient was lucky (in a way) that the balding area was well covered by his existing comb-forward hair stying. His photos are below (click to enlarge) —
Doing modern hair transplants requires experienced doctors and experienced teams of people. Always check on the experience of your doctor. For more information about finding a good doctor and knowing what to look out for, please see:
Seeing hair transplant failure cases are very disheartening and is what drives me daily to help patients find hair transplant surgeons that consistently perform state of the art hair transplantation.
Ironically, “experience” doesn’t necessarily mean that a physician is using state of the art techniques. Unfortunately, many continue to use “minigrafting” and multi-blade knives to remove the donor area causing transection and inevitably reducing the amount of “usable” donor hair.
Thanks for posting this as this should give seeking patients more motiviation for doing proper research in selecting a hair transplant surgeon.
