I had a hair transplant procedure done about 5 months ago and I still have a lot of short blunt hairs throughout the recipient area. After the shedding period I noticed that not all the hairs were falling out, about 30 percent stayed in. Some of those that didn't fall out started growing really well so I thought I should give the other ones some more time but they haven't changed. Also I pulled a couple with tweezers just see and they slid right out like nothing was holding them.

Thank you for posting your question. There is no reason to be scared that you had a hair transplant at this age. Just make sure you do a proper research on the choosing of your clinic, otherwise its perfectly fine. Hope this helps a bit.
In general hair transplant overseas can be less expensive. The techniques should be the same but the results can vary. Even in the United States techniques should be the same but the results can vary.Follow up with your doctor may be an issue if you are traveling overseas....
There are cases where hair thins in the mustache and the beard area. Hair transplants are a very good choice to regain hair in those areas and are very successful.
