how long ago did you have the transplant

13 months ago.

That is the thing that I tried to solve. I did not want the clinic to repair it, but I wanted to find a reason why my transplants had poor growth at some spots and why above that spots older were lost. Immediately after the surgery I had bleeding from some grafts (which did not grow) . Nurse promised that everything is all right, that she solved the problem and that she would inform a doctor that there was a problem, but she didn't do that. At the end another doctor from clinic said that the possible options are that nurses gave me too much anesthesia which contains adrenaline which was bad for my blood vessels and for my grafts. I asked for additional anesthesia without knowing that it could cause a problem on that spots(because I felt pain during procedure on that areas were growth is poor/ hair is lost) and nurses gave it to me without asking a doctor who were at another room. So that could be the reason why damage is made. It's only a shame that I lost some donor hair, price per graft is so low in my country so I didn't lost any money, but I could save some donor hair. I hope a good surgeon will make it look good.

Yes, after the first hairline was higher, but density was much better.

1400 for the first + 1100 for the second procedure for the hairline and temple points, but as you can see the growth of the second procedure is poor and some older transplants were also damaged in that areas.

Of course. Here you can find results that I had with my first procedure and before photos.

Hi, I need a good surgeon to fix my hairline. I lowered my hairline with my second surgery, but had poor growth on some spots. So, I would like to choose good surgeon in Europe. Ideal price would be up to 4 euros per graft. Which one do you suggest and how many grafts do you think I need?

A little more information on anesthesia:

Hair Loss and Anesthesia - Chicago - Telogen Effluvium

 

I can see the concern in the outdoor shot, but one with sunlight may help see how people see it on a typical sunny day.

 

Did you bring up the concern to the surgeon? Any feedback?

Thank you for info!

Well, doctor says that I must wait 15 months before she can tell what was the problem?

Do you also think that 15 months waiting is realistic when I do not see much progress and new growth since 7 month mark?

Going to be honest from that last photo you posted your problem looks very small, I don't think anyone would notice. It actually looks very good. Stay away from any but the best hairline doctors with proven track records such as Konior, Feriduni, Keser, Erdogan etc or risk making things worse.

Thank you, but it would look much better if second procedure was successful. I will think about which one to choose.

Hello, i believe from what you described regarding your previous transplanted hair not growing back this could be collateral damage, many hairs are permanently lost during the procedure if they are planted to close together they fight for the same blood supply and some aren't able to survive

Yes, I also think that it is the problem, but doctor swears they didn't do it which is not true I think.

Good news it's definitely fixable.

Thank you for the answer, I hope I will choose a good doctor to fix it.

Looks to me that the hairline was dropped, not reenforced, judging from the mole at the hairline. Before, its below the hairline. After, is above the weak hairline.

Thanks for the answer. Yes, hairline was dropped, but also they put some extra grafts among old grafts which were thick and in that area old grafts were damaged. Some of then became very curly and I have straight hair.

It could be the placement and quality of grafts that were placed there. You were given information about groupings and grafts so it is confusing. It could be the type of anestesia used and how much. Many factors can cause it. But since your hair grew before, it probably isn't your physiology. Get this sorted with the surgeon and report back of what happened. It helps a lot of folks. Yield here isn't on point. Do you hve any outdoor shots in the sun?

Can you please tell me something more about that if the problem was with anesthesia? Because in that left area they gave me anesthesia more times than in other areas during procedure. I can clearly remember that. Yes, this is an outdoor shot.

Who was your doctor? Your best option would be to head to a high end hairline doctor such as Feriduni, or Keser and Lupanzula who both do extractions and incisions themselves.

 

You should ask for a refund if possible, never a good idea to head back for a repair to a doctor that did a botch job the first time.

 

If it helps, your hair still looks very good and I don't think the average person would think any thing of it other than a little bit of "thinning hair".

My doctor is from Serbia. She did a great job with my first procedure, but this time it is really bad.

This is good advice, I will think about that. I am also thinking about Dr. Maras. I really like his results.

When you look from distance hairline looks fine, but when you look closer it could be much better.

Does anyone else have an advice?

Hi, Sean. Thank you for the answer.

I really don't understand why new grafts didn't grow in that area (and old grafts are damaged in that area) when all grafts in other areas did grow.

Hi, right now I am 9 months post op. This is my second procedure, I had around 1200 grafts with FUE. I had my first procedure last year (1400 grafts). I wanted to fill area on the side of my forehead and add density.

So, at 9 months new grafts grow on the side of the forehead and on the right side of the hairline thick, but on the let side and in the middle of the hairline new grafts don't grow and there are gasps. ALSO, on the left side the first row of my previously transplanted hair are gone or became thinner. I thought that shock loss of transplanted hair is always reversible. Some of them grew back, but a lot did not. I am talking about thick, transplanted hair, there were bald area before first procedure.

I would like to here your opinion on my situation, please.

RIGHT NOW

OUTDOOR SHOT

I hope that is not shock loss from transection because I had my hairline also lowered for 1 cm. On that left side, below old transplanted there was bald area without any transplanted hair and in that area only 30 % of newly transplants have grown so far. In other areas I have much better growth so far. So in that area it can't be transaction because there was not any hair. Also, also one row of old transplanted hair where they didn't put new transplants is shocked.

Basically, there is a area of my skin where new transplants struggle to grow and old are shocked and in some places it can't be from transection because new grafts are far from old grafts and aren't between them.

My surgeon was from Serbia, my countrry. She did very hood job with my first procedure. I have had posted results on this forum.

It's the left side of my hairline,red mole above . Before second procedure there was more transplanted hair. After second procedure there is less transplanted hair from first procedure and that hair is weaker.

There wasn't any native hair, before my first procedure that area was bald, so I am sure that the shocked hair was transplanted.

Do you think that in some cases it takes longer then 6 months to recover?

BEFORE SECOND PROCEDURE

2 WEEKS AGO (almost 6 months after second procedure)

Hi, I had my second surgery in September, around 1100 grafts to thicken up hairline and add a little bit on the sides of the forehead. Before that I had 1400 grafts in hairline in 2015. After second surgery I noticed that I have shock loss of previously TRANSPLANTED hair only on the left side of my hairline. It is around 6 months from my second surgery and I still haven't recovered from shock loss. In that area previously transplanted hair was thick and black (my hair is blonde), but now it's thinner, whiter and there are some gaps. My newly transplanted hair has grown 70% on all other ares expect in that area were I experienced shock loss of hair from first transplant. In that area has grown only around 30% percent of new grafts.

Can someone tell me what is happening and what could it be, please?

nice work. looks great...

Thank you!

As mentioned , excellent result for the no. of grafts .

 

Have you dyed your hair or is it just the lighting ?

Thanks. I started using Minoxidil after procedure and my hair changed color to dark.

Looks great! Congratulations!

Thank you.Glad to hear it!

nice result for the amount of grafts used.

Thank you!

Hi! I wanted to share with you my experience with Dr Kuka. I decided to have my first procedure in Serbia at HairCenter clinic last July.

First of all, I had detailed consultations with Dr Kuka 3 times before procedure. She wanted to make the best possible plan and answered all my questions, so I felt that my head was in good hands.

Dr Kuka did 90% of procedure and her assistants were also really professional too. During the procedure I felt absolutely no pain and very important thing is that I had no swelling at all. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I look forward to hear all you comments and answer your questions!
