I'd like to receive professional opinion on my case, and there are many pro's helping on this wonderful website. So, I had a FUE transplant done that failed previously, and had I known what I do now I would've asked if the surgeon could handle curly hair. Long story short, I've lost 2100 grafts on a FUE transplant that did absolutely nothing besides giving me scars. Can I jump on the horse and try again, or should I throw in the towel? Many thanks for the insight you provide beforehand!
Answer: Hair transplant Thank you for asking this question. It is very unfortunate to hear about the bad experience. Also the picture which you have sent is not very clear to access the exact density of the hair at the back of the scalp. Although with the pictures that you have sent we fell that you very low density and curly hair. 6000 grafts is a very huge number to even transplant in a person who have got very good density in one single session. Nevertheless, in your case it is unlikely that you can donate much to make any difference. Hence, we feel it won’t be of any use to opt for a hair restoration program unless you go for combination of hairline making with the patch. Good luck! Regards, Dr. Amit Gupta

Answer: Donor Hair It is highly unlikely that you will have 6000 hairs available in the donor area. Most people only start with that amount to harvest safely without making the donor area look thin. If you have already had 2100 grafts taken, it is more likely that you may have at the very most 4000 grafts. I would recommend that you seek an in person consultation with a reputable hair transplant doctor and get a proper assessment. You definitely still have some options available so don't "throw in the towel" yet.
