I have less hair on my crown after my transplant than before, recipient area was only temples and front hairline? (Photo)

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative issues.  You may have experience shock hair loss and ended up with less hair.

I understand your hair restoration did not involve the crown. more than likely you are having more hair loss as time goes by. I agree with your physician by ways of starting finasteride. This would halt the male pattern baldness. 

I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone that work well after hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It would be highly unusual to see shock loss in a region that was not involved with transplant whatsoever. In all likelihood, your doctor is correct - this is an accelerated progression of androgenic alopecia (male hair loss). Propecia is the best treatment to slow down advancement of this process.All the best - Sam Jejurikar, MD

İt may be a ongoing process of AGA or shock loss of HT donor area. Transplanted graft’s hair starts to shedding in the first week of surgery and may go on untill 4-6 th weeks after surgery. İt is not surprising to lost approx.  %70-80 of all transplanted hair shafts in first month when you are washing, gently rubbing  or touching the head. İt is shock loss and not permanent. Even your native hair may affected with that post traumatic transient hair loss…New hair at transplant and donor area starts to grow at 3-4 th month after surgery .

Thank you for your question and posting your picture. It is possible you may have some shock loss but that would be unusual in an area that was not involved with in your procedure. More likely, you may be experiencing advancement of your androgenetic alopecia. It would be best to treat this with finasteride (Propecia) to decrease the effect of DHT on your follicles.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Shock loss occurs in young men. To prevent this I prescribe the drug finasteride which works well to prevent the loss of native hair
