My Transplanted Hairs Never Grew — The Doctors Want to Redo it For Free

Hi,i need help please, a few years ago i had the FUE procedure done for 600 hairs with [name omitted] in London, i was happy with the results but after a few months all the transplanted hairs fell out and never grown back.

They have now kindly offered to do the whole procedure again for free but im really unsure if to go through with it again if it doesnt work for a second time. Im not sure why it didnt work and dont want to blame anyone but i remember when the hairs were removed from my head they were then left on a plate while the surgeons went out side for a cigarette.

Could it be possible that this was a bad procedure or would it be more likely to just not work for me as i have read that this procedure dosent work for everyone? I could really do with your help with this please ,kind regards.

I am slightly confused by your question. If you are saying that the hair originally grew and then fell out sometime later, that confuses me. Previouos hair transplants, once they grow, usually last the lifetime of the patient. A good doctor would, I would guess, offer you a repeat procedure if he could not find a cause of the loss of hair transplants that grew.

If you are saying that the hair did not grow, then I would ask – if you were having a heart transplant surgery (instead of a hair transplant), you would not get a second chance. Would you trust the person that caused your heart transplant to fail to redo the procedure (assuming they successfully put in an artificial heart while waiting for another real heart)? I hope that comparison isn’t too far of a reach, but it is the first thing that came to mind.

Hair transplants remove donor hair forever. If it did not grow (FUE or strip) and continues to fail, all you do is lose again. A hair transplant failure, unlike a heart surgery failure, just wastes your limited supply of donor hair — while a heart surgery failure kills you. If the doctor gives you a second surgery for free, what if it fails a second time? Ask your doctor about this. The lesson here is that a doctor who does good work has predicable results.
