I recently had a hair transplant in Izmir, after two weeks arriving back to England I sat out in the direct sun for three hours, my scalp had turned red. Have I damaged my hair grafts, what are the signs ?

Answer: Direct sun exposure is not generally recommended after surgery. If you are concerned it is best to check
If your surgery did not work last time, and you decided to have another surgery , isn't it too late to ask if it will work the 2nd time? You would have to wait and see.
If you do not like your high forehead or hair recession, a hair transplant surgery may be an option. You can start by seeing a doctor in person for an examination and consultation.
In general the term hair graft is synonymous with a hair follicle. A graft generally means a tissue for transplantation. In modern hair transplant surgery a hair graft is a hair follicle.
