The grafts were taken from the lower part of my head as they were the 1st time I had it done. I don't think this is the issue because this guy has been doing this for years. I think it may be due to shedding as was mentioned in this forum. Still, my doctor said that its not as thick as it should be so he asked me to stop taking vitamin A which I have done.
Regarding if the grafts were damaged, I don't think they were because the hair did come in about 2-4 months after it was transplated. In fact, on the second transplant, I had some hair put on the bald spot (which didn't get any grafts the first time) and this hair on the bald spot is still growing.
In summary, I had two transplants about 1 year apart. I had some hair loss of the transplanted hair after about 7-9 months from the first transplant. Now, I am again having the transplanted hair shedding but don't know if its from the 1st, 2nd, or both transplants. The hair that was put on the bald spot during the second transplant seems to be all there for the most part.
