Why Didn't Hair Transplant Work?

November 10, 2010
Asked By:sadness in Plainsboro, NJ

After receiving 1000 follicular units to my hairline 14 months ago, nothing has grown in. In fact, I continue to recede. During this time, I was put on avodart for a minor prostate problem. Purplexed and broke. Thanks.
