Doctor says it should be fine. Want 2nd opinion. I just did a FUE transplant with a good Doctor over 2 days, 3000 grafts. The procedure went fine. But the day after its like blankspots. (see attached photo) on the head. Doctor says they either fallen out by force or I had hair there before. He says probably there were hair there before and it should look good later. But I'm a bit worried how it will turn out. It would be nice to get a 2nd opinion from someone here.

Answer: If there are blank spots then the blanks spots will not have hair. This is a logical conclusion.
You should wait a while longer. There's no study to confirm it but smoking causes constriction of blood flow which certainly won't help your transplants. Marijuana is probably not as detrimental as cigarettes but again there aren't any studies that confirm this. I would recommend...
Synthetic hair comes with a long list of side effects and complications, including a virtually 100% infection rate. I was strongly, strongly advise against a synthetic hair transplant, and look into FUE or FUT transplants instead.
Yes a person that has reached an advanced age can still have a transplant. Medical issues need to be addressed as well as medications. A hair restoration professional would consult with his/her internist for clearance. Everyone should have a chance to have hair!
