What's the probability that FUE hair transplants don't work for me? What percentage of the transplanted hair will "die on the vine", so to speak? What's the failure rate?
Answer: Graft Survival Rate for FUE If the FUE procedure is performed properly, the graft survival rate is very high (greater than 90%) in my opinion and comparable to the FUT method. However this depends on many factors such as the skill of the surgeon, how the grafts are handled and stored, length of time grafts are outside of the body, and experience of the team placing the grafts. All of these factors need to be accounted for in order to have excellent results.

Answer: Depends It depends on your exam and your hair quality and the doctor who is performing the surgery.Dr Rassman and Dr. Bernstein published the failure of FUE back around in the mid 2000's. You can search for that article on our website. They called it FOX negative (FUE negative). The article points out that not all patients are good candidates for FUE surgery. The article advocated for doctors to "test" each patient before committing to surgery. For example, many patients with curly hair is not a good candidate for FUE surgery because the failure rate will be very high. Despite the advancement in technology and technique, this remains true.Many doctors or clinics (some that sound like expense Italian clothing) have been sued for failure rates in the past.

Answer: What is the failure or success rate of hair transplantation? The regrowth rate of transplanted grafts by FUE is more than 90%. However, we must bear in mind that all hair loss occurs over time. This includes hair loss in the donor area. Accordingly, since transplanted follicles are from the donor area, regardless of the positive outcome of hair restoration surgery, one may experience a 10-15% loss of the transplanted hair as well. However, this is over a lifetime. Therefore, the idea of a “safe donor” area is unfounded.

Answer: Failure rate and type of hair Typically more than 90% of the grafts should grow. Curly haired patients can have a decreased yield.The procedure is more operator dependent for curly haired or african american patients.
