What are the risks of getting a second hair transplant?

Asked By:mr.monster in Philadelphia, PA

I got a transplant in Turkey last year. I was a norwood 3v. Doctor only put in 1500 grafts with average density of 33 grafts/cm^2. The results are 7/10. I am not completely happy. I am thinking of doing a second transplant to increase density and also lower hairline further. Will a second hair transplant damage the grafts from my first hair transplant? Are there risks to increasing density with a second hair transplant?
