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: 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.
