I’m tensed. So, please help me out . I had a HT 5 months back. I have been on finasteride 1 mg even before HT(for 8 months). Also, started minoxidil after 3 months of HT. I’m noticing hairball when it should have been stopped. My growth has been less. I still can see the gap […]

This was repaired by Dr. Schambach on the right. She redid the previous hair transplant and moved the hairline forward. In her hands, these grafts will grow. It just shows that there are no bargains that you can depend upon in this field.
BEFORE PHOTO 3 YEARS LATER This man had over 4000 FUE grafts and now his donor area is almost completely depleted. His only option is to remain bald or get Scalp Micropigmentation Attached below is his Warranty Certificate which […]
You have a persistent frontal forelock which goes down to the highest crease on your furrowed brow. I feel strongly that when people have these forelocks or remnants of a low hairline that abuts the highest crease on your furrowed brow, then the transplant should incorporate these elements of the old hairline. If not, you […]
Two more hair transplant failures showed up in our office last week from other doctors — one was an FUE technique and one was a strip harvest. I’ve written about the topic of surgical failures a few times already, and the last thing I want to do is scare people off the idea of having […]
I’ve been writing about hair transplant failures more and more on this site lately, because it is a growing concern. I have been seeing, on average, 1 patient per week (from outside my office) who had a hair transplant with a significant failure of the grafts to grow (greater than an 80% failure). I just […]
We’ve written about hair transplant failures before (here and here), but this time we have some photos that we’ve been given permission to share. This patient had 1000 grafts placed into the frontal area 10 years ago (not with us). Around 95% of the grafts have failed to grow either initially or since the surgery. […]
An article written by Dr. Michael Beehner in the most recent issue of the Hair Transplant Forum (print newsletter published by the ISHRS) discussed survival of hairs in a hair transplant. He had done a study where he created five 1cm square boxes of grafts on a human volunteer just in front of the crown […]
Hair cloning procedures available to the general public are still many years away. Maybe there will be medications required, maybe not. At this stage, no one knows. Any cloned hair would have to be DHT resistant or what is the point in cloning hair that is susceptible to falling out again? Complete failure of a […]
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 […]
I cannot tell you why your hair transplant failed, but the size of the incisions should not have a significant impact on hair growth. The size of the incision is related to the size of the grafts (not the size of the hair). Just because your hair is fine does not necessarily mean that the […]
Once the hair transplants grow, they should not fall out. Are you sure that they were growing at some point and not just stubble from the original procedure? The vertex of the head is a big area and many times the amount of hair put into the vertex is dwarfed by the size of the […]
Generally I tell patients that by 8 months, fully 80+ % of the grafts should have reached styling length. That means that the growth should be well underway by now. On rare occasions, I see delayed growth, but that is not common. IF the procedure failed, speak with your doctor directly and ask him why […]
The question I would ask if he really received 8874 grafts in two sessions? A failure of this magnitude reflects a very poor delivery organization for hair transplants. The hairline itself is designed as a female hairline, not I suspect what he thought he was going to get
I had an ARTAS FUE transplant one year ago and roughly 15% of the transplanted hair has grown in. To say it is a massively expensive disappointment is an understatement. I’m planning on asking the company/surgeon for at least a partial refund, but I’m curious – does anyone know how a transplant could fail to […]
