bigbossdzOct 6, 2018
I did a hair transplant of 6000 follicles a year ago and the result is a big failure. a week after the operation I had a panic attack and very high blood pressure reached sys 220 / dia 120 for one hour in the middle of the night. I went to the hospital and have make an injection to decrease my high blood pressure. but I had no bleeding in the scalp,could that be the cause of the failure of the transplant.

Generally, single hairs are used for the hairline while doubles or triples are used behind the hairline. If you are dissatisfied with your results, a second surgery may be an option to correct the hairline.Keep in mind that it may take 6 to 12 months to see the results of a hair transplant...

FUE is a method of harvesting hair follicles. It has nothing to do with the end result. FUE surgery just means you will have thousands of "DOT" scars instead of a "LINE" scar from the FUSS (Strip) surgery. FUE RESULTS ultimately will depend on all the factors as well as the doctor's aesthetic...

Your donor area will always look "thinner" proportionate to the number of hairs taken out after a FUE harvesting surgery.  The hairs will NOT grow back from the donor area (where it was taken). If it all goes to plan the donor hairs will grow in the area it was transplanted.
