Unsatisfactory result from FUE 12 months post-op. Could this mean that my scalp is rejecting transplanted hair? (Photo)

Asked By:Yerma in Toronto, ON

I had FUE session a year ago in Dec. 2014. The first photo is pre-op. The other two are current photos. Since month 11, hair started falling everyday. My doctor says to wait till 18 months. I have only taken Evening Primrose Oil daily in this year as I had negative side effects from Propecia and Finasteride spray. My doctor added that a second FUE session will give more hair coverage. Perhaps it is the effects of DHT or other hormonal imbalance that is causing even the transplanted hair to fall?
