Hair falling out after transplant a few years ago - what can I do about it? (Photos)

Question

I had a hair transplant a few years ago along my frontal hairline and temples it has been mostly ok for a few years but now my hair is getting incredibly thin and I feel the transplanted hair is falling out too. What can I do about it? Are there any medications or treatments that can help or is it a lost cause and the follicles are dead forever? Very worried and self conscious

If you have androgenic alopecia, then finasteride/minoxidil combination works great especially in the crown area but does have some effect in the frontotemporal area so you could try that as I have seen patients that have resulted in improvement with your type of history. Platelet rich plasma injections is also another option which basically gives your hair the added nourishment and creates a better microenvironment for the hair to survive. You could also be entering the age range where most men notice a significant loss of hair usually between 28-31.
