No Improvement After Two Hair Transplant Procedures

I am a 42 going into 43 years old. I have been losing my hair slowly but steady for a good 12 years now. Only about 5 years ago clear spots started to become more and more evident. I had 2 transplants. Both of them about 1300 grafs. The count of insertions was about 270 so I figure it must be in groups of 3 and 4 grafts. In the areas where I had the transplants done I dont see any improvement.IF any I see it getting more and more bald. I don’t know if is that I am just not holding the transplanted graffs. Is there such a possibility. My operating physician said that that was imposssible. That they will never come out. The first procedure was in October 2001 and 2 and 3 weeks after I had a lot of dry roots and hairs come off. I asked the Doctor that operated and he said that was normal. I was doubtful specially because of the roots being dry and out. Then last year I had another procedure. And I dont see any improvement from that either.I dont smoke , dont drink. I exercise, and I tried to eat healthy. I am contemplating a 3rd procedure but I am concern that I may not be holding it.

It sounds to me like you are having confidence problems with your present doctor and certainly have not adequately communicated on the problem as you’ve presented it to me. Before you go at it a third time, get a second opinion. This is not something I can do over the internet, and since you indicated that you are on the east coast, I can recommend Dr. Robert Bernstein in New York and New Jersey at 866-576-2400 to get that second opinion from. If you are willing to make a trip out to California, I have offices in Los Angeles and San Jose and can be reached at 800-NEW-HAIR if you’d like to set up a free consultation.

Some of the things you are saying do not leave me comfortable. Clearly, that is your view as well. I would advise you to not rush into a third procedure if the other two did not work out. I find that we always get results and rarely have I heard of one of my patients have the issues that you’ve mentioned.
