It would be madness not to rule out an underlying issue for certain at this stage. I appreciate you've had some more basic checks in the past, but by not getting a more thorough examination you're simply denying the evidence of your failed HT's that something else might be amiss. It may be the case that you've lost some native hair owing to shockloss, or they were simply weak and couldn't withstand the trauma of surgery. They may well make a come back with more time and your medical interventions (Fin/Min). The first 2 HT's i had was about 15 years ago from a doctor who got struck off for doing botched surgery's, I met other patients with failed transplant with this doctor. The 3rd surgery i had with Dr Rahal was a success and I had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell us more about the Rahal surgery? How many grafts? What area of the head? Any before and afters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member taza Posted October 22, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 22, 2022 Month 8 update. I think there is some improvements from previous pictures but the growth is still poor for month 8. Hopefully I'm a very slow 🐌 grower and get some great growth in the next few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The growth is still poor for 8 months. Hope it gets better the next months...but usually most hair tranplant results have most growth until 8 month...

But it’s a bit risky to go back to a surgeon that gave you a result with low yield, since it may happen again… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always make more money, but once your grafts are gone, no amount of money can bring them back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
