I got a hair transplant that gave me some coverage, would like to get a second one to increase density but am concerned that the 1st transplant may have damaged my scalp, is this common? I've heard there may be scar tissue from the 1st transplant (if the grafts were placed too close together, etc) and so further density from a 2nd transplant may not be possible. Would really like to know the odds before I spend that much money again. Thanks!
