What's the damage to my donor area after failed hair transplant in terms of grafts lost? (Photos)

Asked By:fuepatient212 in Gainesville, FL

About 12 months ago I had what appears to be a failed FUE hair transplant. My donor area is still depleted and my frontal recipient area and crown lack density and have bald patches. Simply put, a patient's nightmare. I'm wondering if any of you doctors could make an estimate of how many grafts I've actually lost in total by looking at my donor area. 2,000 grafts were taken from the donor area. Do I have any hair left for a new procedure from another part of my head without using the depleted area?
