FUE failures are not uncommon when the surgeon and/or the surgical team is not skilled in the nuances of FUE. The problem you must face is to find a surgeon who can make an assessment of your donor area and to find out what residual donor hair remains.

I had 2000 grafts into my two corners and now, 8 months later, it all looks thin. Is this a failure of the surgery? Certainly, if each side received 1000 grafts, then this is not reflective of such a number of grafts. I would return and see your doctor as most doctors will ‘make things […]
?The law in most states forbid a surgeon from a guarantee for any surgery. Think about it, if you had cancer and your surgeon guaranteed that he would cure you, that is impossible and illegal. So a hair transplant is the same thing; however, any good doctor should warrant his work regardless of the fault. […]
Any surgery can impact hair growth but usually hair transplants done previously are very stable and will not be impacted by any surgery. If however, you are balding at a rapid rate and have a hernia repair or any surgery, the stress of a surgery runs a small risk of accelerating hair loss that is […]
I saw a patient earlier this week who had a well known surgeon place hundreds of body hair grafts into a bald area of his scalp about two years ago. This surgeon is one who promotes his body hair transplant procedures quite heavily, particularly on various websites and hair loss forums. No, I won’t name […]
I believe you are overreacting. If everything was good for the first 10 days, there is little possibility that you lost any grafts/hair. What you are doing is shedding the hair that was transplanted. It will go into a hair cycle of telogen and then ‘wake-up’ and start growing at about 3-4 months. This is […]
I was wondering if maybe I was just a bad candidate and my hairs were doomed to die, but you suggest that operator error and inexperience is the main cause of a failed transplant. This gives me hope that a second procedure with a better surgeon may result in better growth. You need a good […]
I’m so saddened and distraught to see that my hair is very much what it looked like before . I think I may have scarring alopecia or something else that causes the follicles not to grow. I see where the hair has been transplanted but it hasn’t grown at all and has just scarred over. […]
You either had too few grafts placed or what was placed, much of it didn’t grow. The number one cause of a hair transplant failure is errors on the surgeon or the surgical team. I wrote about it with humor here: https://baldingblog.com/hair-transplants-last-for-your-life-make-sure-you-can-live-with-them/
Just be patient. By the 8th month you can expect to see 90 percent of the growth from your hair transplant. Some people don’t start growing until the 4th or 5th month. When it starts, it grows out at a rate of about 1/2 inch per month. You are hopefully, one of these later bloomers. […]
There is clearly hair growing in the crown where there was not hair before which reflects growth. It is possible that you did not get enough grafts to do the job right? For the size of your crown, I would have expected at least 2000-2500 grafts depending upon the thickness of your hair, the finer […]
I agree he got a really good result so if he went to a different surgeon maybe he would get a bad result. So if he had a bad result, would it be because of the surgeon’s crappy artistic skills? or the patients hair quality? or is it because of the technicians that plant the […]
The most common cause of hair transplant failures in men are technical failures caused by the surgeon and his team unless there is an underlying skin disease present. As you know, the hair transplant process is a team effort requiring skills on many levels. Make sure that the next time try to find an experienced […]
You have what appears to be one or more small areas of necrosis which, when healed, will produce a scar without hair growth. This is usually a failure of the surgeon’s technique for creating recipient sites.
If a hair follicle from a hair transplant dies from a failure of surgical techniques, it will never grow.
