Why Your Hair May Start to Fall Out After a Hair Transplant (F.U.E./Follicular Unit Extraction)
The most likely reason your transplanted hair is falling out is Telogen Effluvium. This is a temporary condition caused by something stressing the follicles and should abate once you are relieved of the stress.
The other possible cause of this hair loss would be unlikely, but perhaps the grafts were harvested from donor hair which was located too high in the back of the scalp, in an area which was prone to the effects of DHT or other permanent hair loss factors....

Hair Loss After Transplant
Likely the hair loss you have is due to diffuse thinning of the entire scalp, associated with male pattern hair loss. Oftentimes, taking Propecia can help stop this, and perhaps even reverse some of the loss.

Hair Falling out after Hair Transplant

FUE Hair Transplant Long-Term Growth
This is not normal, considering FUE hair transplant is a permanent procedure. Transplanted hair should be extracted from an area where it is not DHT-sensitive.

Your current hair loss may be due to some other issue, such as an autoimmune disorder or stress. I suggest consulting your physician or a hair loss specialist.

This is unlikely if an experienced surgeon/technician perfomed the procedure. Another consideration is that you are losing the hair around the grafted follicles. I always suggest that a patient use Rogain 5% plus finasteride to diminish this possiblility. You may have some metabolic imbalance, such as hypo or...

Hair Falling Out After Transplant
Hair which has been transplanted from the correct area should not fall out after a hair transplant procedure due to androgenic alopecia. There are several options for this loss. Medical conditions such as thyroid disorders, physical stress, and autoimmune conditions should be evaluated. It may also be possible that your hair was not harvested from an area which is immune to androgenic alopecia. I would certainly suggest visiting a hair restoration specialist or dermatologist for further...

Hair loss years after a transplant
There are many factors to consider. One possibility could be that the donor grafts were taken from areas that are becoming bald with age. See a hair transplant specialist.
