Exact two years completed this month .

Almost 50% transplant hair lost within 2 years, despite being on dutastride and minox... And this was my second surgery which failed again ..

26 rs per graft

Lost a lot of native hair one year of Hair Transplant.. 

Is it because of Telogen Effevlium or due to Sebboheric Dermatitis.. 

Can I reverse them again? 

I am on Dutasteride and Topical Minox..

I'll write it untill to boredom: there are autoimmune pathologies or diseases, which doctors cannot diagnose without specific tests such as a biopsy (there are also doctors who are not really very good doctors).  It is also very likely that your dermatitis has already caused the failure of your two transplants, I do not know what to advise, except that you absolutely do not undergo a third transplant if you do not know for sure what your problem is first.

Maybe I need to find a new doctor... I will start searching for the same...

Were you on an oral 5AR inhibitor between 2013 and now ? 

Are you currently on oral 5AR inhibitor bro ? 

You have very agressive Androgenic Alopecia. 

I would strongly recommend Dutasteride. I see it as the only viable option in your case. Try to get the brand name Avodart. 

It is very important to be on medication because otherwise your tranplanted hairs will eventually disappear due to DUPA and your native hairs will continue to miniaturize and fall out especially in the crown... Your crown may soon drop into Norwood 5- 6 so be very careful. 

You will not see any growth till the 3 month mark. For most patients, most of the growth happens between the 3rd month and the 6th month. And then it thickens up and "matures" a bit more till the 8-12 months.  It know how hard it is to deal with the post surgery phase. I've been there I know the agony of hairloss sufferer since I am one myself. But patience is key. 

All the best bro.

It is evident that you got worse from the fifth to the sixth month, sorry if I'm so direct, but are you really still convinced that your scalp is healthy?

I just don't know.. Neither my doctor is mentioning anything clearly... And no other doctor will entertain as I have not done HT from them...

I don't mean to be repetitive, but you have a scalp problem, especially on the right side.

But my doctor says I have dermatitis and nothing else... I am having medicines for the same as well... And past two weeks I have observed a lot of hair fall.. I am just not sure if it is native hair or transplant one...

6 Months...

5 months is too early.

Hair follicles are independent, they grow when they want to.  Some take a 4 months, some take 8 months. 
Time will tell.

 

Here is my five months versus nine months;

Superb dude..  you are looking marvelous.. Finally some confidence gained in me.. Thanks 💗

Between not taking finasteride and your seborrheic dermatitis, I think these are the reasons why your first transplant didn't work out.

The second transplant looks really promising, a huge difference at 5 months!
I am happy for you, make sure that you take all the medication you need to keep your new hair.

It will thicken up over time.  Also, try biotin supplements every day as a boost.  It is good for hair AND skin health. 

 

My worry is that why is one side has not grown up so far... Is it common thing to happen? My doctor says 5 months are too early to judge..

Change dermatologist, point out that only the right side has not grown back and is particularly red, which may not be normal and if it is the case, also take a biopsy in that part of the scalp, there are some diseases not visible to the naked eye, but that require in-depth examinations, Even if I feel I can advise you to wait for the end of the path before doing anything else.

I have dermatitis due to which scalp stays red most of the time, but I doubt if it has got anything to do with Hair Transplant procedure..

@npk21 Haven't you visited a dermatologist yet?

He says it's oddly 5 months now and quite early to judge now.. 😖

5 months.. Mid scalp (right side) yet no signs of proper growth...

There is something wrong, that redness, in my opinion it is a symptom of some problem in that part of the scalp.

That redness is because of prp injection which I took a day before taking this snap...

4.5 months... No growth on right side of mid scalp yet...

3 month 25 days..

Finally some improvement...

Day 100th 

90 Days (3 month) 

First PRP done today...

Yes... I never took finasteride or dutasteride after my first HT in 2013, I started taking it after my second transplant... Seems like I will need to take it lifetime to keep the hair dense...

What worries me is that my growth rate is not looking good after 80 days of second HT.. Should I try to change the brand of my minoxidil and dutasteride for good results?

It can take up to four months before growth is evident. You are well over one month short of this. I would not be making a judgement until at least six months. I would be discussing any issues of growth with the surgeon you chose. All the best!

Let's see.. I can see some hairs sprouting.. But I am not sure if I will be able to manage decent result after an year...

Day 80

Day 73 

Vry small open pores with thin hairs are visible at mid scalp now...

i think you retained around 30% of your HT, since the frontmost tuft is still there. there are several empty areas though. i hope with meds this time you'll be keeping all your hair!

I wish.. But it's almost 67 days now.. My all grafts shedded completely by 18th day.. And not a new single hair has sprouted so far.. I am worried now..

ohhhh so in 5 years you lost almost all implanted grafts from 2013! 😳. How many did you get on your first op?

Are you gonna go for Meds after this 2nd op? 

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Yes...I lost them all.. It were around 2900 grafts... Now I am on multi vitamins and minox after second surgery
