Will transplanted hair regrow 6 months post op if pulled out?

doncoleFeb 23, 2018
A spot appeared on my head 6 months post op in the recipient area. I placed a heated flannel to bring it out as instructed by my doctor. Whilst applying monoxidil I touched the spot; I felt no pain. Unfortunately, it bled more than expected. I stopped the bleeding and it scabbed over. The scab recently dislodged whilst combing my hair; there was no bleeding, but 4 hairs came out with the scab

Photos cannot determine if you would be a good candidate for surgery.  You need an examination and the doctor needs to understand your goals and expectations.
