Did I get a good hair transplant? (photos)

Question

I had 4000 grafts done but I still feel bald. Had 3000 done 4 years again and another 1000 now.

Hello, and thank you for your question. No, you did not get a good transplant.  You already had 4,000 grafts and probably need that many more. Your donor area may not be enough for that many more grafts.  You could try Minoxidil or Finasteride, but I suggest talking to a reputable doctor and seeing what is your best option.  Best of luck to you.

Unfortunately , you have a fairly advanced pattern of hair loss.   While 4000 sounds like a huge number of grafts, it's probably half of what you would need to get adequate coverage based on the current pictures.  I would encourage use of medical maintenance therapies as well (minoxidil, finasteride, laser cap, PRP) in order to preserve remaining native hair and also improved the quality of future donor hair.
