Hair loss after a transplant

Thanks for showing those photos. Your pattern of loss looks like a typical genetic loss that is well treated by a hair transplant. Strange that your first session didn't take. Did any hair grow? Your hair everywhere looks very fine and the can contribute to less than expected fullness after a transplant. You just don't get the volume of hair needed when transplanting very fine hair.

Best Solution for Hair Restoration

The best I can tell fron your photos some of the transplanted hair probably grew in. But it looks like you are a candidate for another procedure. In a well perfomed hair transplant 90-95% of the grafts should grow. But this is totally dependent on the doctor and the expertise of the team.

Follicular Unit Extraction

I would recommend follicular unit extraction done by an advanced surgeon, with proof of successful prior outcomes. FUE is a minimally invasive surgery and avoids the strip scar so you have the freedom to cut your hair short. It can also harvest hair from the nape of the neck in order to produce a soft, natural-looking hairline, which would suit you based on the fact that your pictures show hairline recession. Best of luck. see video

You don't mention how long ago you had the procedure performed. Hair goes through various stages of growth and rest, and for a while following hair restoration you may see only the very fine hairs. Unfortunately, the results of hair transplantation are highly variable and can... more
