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?

Im not sure what the Before situation looked like but it seems to me that you don't have a density for 5500 hair grafts to be honest. so Im not sure if that's the right number? how does the back of your scalp look like after they took 5500 hair from your back? and certainly the front doesn't...
Too low hair line can be corrected by extraction of grafts and than recycle them to increase the density...we have done lot of cases with 0.7 mm punch to extract the grafts from lower hair line. scars are hardly noticeable ...
