Question

Hair transplant 3/28/22 some hair has grown but overall still bald looking

William Lao, MD · Answer

It is hard to tell the reason, it relates to how many grafts you had and how many actually survived in the transplant process. Best to see your transplant doctor to know the real reason.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

first  of  all  I have  to see preop  photos  .You  may  have  a  cicatricial  alopecia ,  so  do  you  have  a skin biopsy  before  ? The most outstanding reason for poor growth and ineffectual  hair restoration results is insufficient number of viable graft placement as a result of intra operative  damage of follicular units ( during insertion or high transection rates during harvesting, long time of grafts out of body, dehydratation, poor FU storage/handling conditions like high room temperature, storage fluids etc.)
