Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 28, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2020 What do you guys think? What are some of the reasons why a hair transplant wouldn't last?

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted October 28, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hair is in a constant state of flux, that applies to both donor and recipient areas. If you are destined to have severe miniaturization in your donor region as you age (including some retrograde alopecia), your transplant will get thinner over time and I imagine some grafts will eventually die off. Does that mean the entire HT was a failure? No, but the results that once pleased you may regress years later. But the sun will explode in 5 billion years or so... so nothing lasts forever. 😉 Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Richie888 Posted October 28, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 28, 2020 Great question, with HT being popular for the last 10-15 years, wheres all the results from the early days. Surely the proofs in the pudding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's true but that's why it's even more important to find a reputable surgeon that can estimate where your NW level will progress and also try and slow or halt your regression before getting a HT, especially if you're a young man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
