They destroyed my donor area I transplanted 6,000 grafts a year ago in Istanbul and I knew after that the staff were not professional and they are scammers. I would like to know if I can still have a another transplant or it's a lost cause?

Answer: Expect a lot more growth after 6000 grafts Thanks for the question.Sorry about the post operative outcome you have had. I think 6000 grafts in one go is quite a lot and it does not seem that you have the density for all of these. Placing 6000 grafts is quite difficult as this is a very large surface area that needs to take up a blood supply and the hairs to survive so I am not so sure how many of them would be viable. Also, if the harvesting technique was not adequate then again, you r number of viable grafts would be far less.It would be far better to do less grafts and have two staged procedures to ensure optimum viablility. It also looks like your donor site is pretty damaged following but it would really depend on examining the area as to whether anything could be done.You might want to try PRP on the existing hair to improve their quality. There are also a number of non-surgical options that may be of help to youI would see a hair transplant surgeon to assess your optionsBW

Answer: Post Op 6000 Grafts 6000 grafts will certainly deplete your donor area, and the photos show this. Any future procedures should be done with caution, since once the donor area is over-harvested, there is no going back. My recommendation in cases like these is to attempt to accomplish goals in small steps of 1000 grafts or less, to help preserve the donor, but at the same time adding density (especially in the frontal forelock and hairline area). After each one of these sessions, the donor area can re-evaluated to see how much more can be harvested.
