The best work I have seen so far is from Toni Belfatto in Italy.

    Default Also failed

    I have also had a failed transplant. This would include both a bad scar and losing all grafts within a 3 year period. The strange thing was that they grew in and looked great for 6 months. I'm not sure about the percentage that fail but for years many denied they even existed. I wish I would have know that there was even a slim chance it would not take.

    Graft rejection is extremely rare. Did your donor area thin out?

    That result... ugh. I think the most egregious mistake isn't the hairline, but the color; it doesn't match his natural coloring at all. Guys his age can have that hairline in a way that looks natural, but this is pretty terrible. TBH, I haven't been impression at all with the vast majority of the whole-head SMP work I've seen.

    I'm curious what he looks like up close in person. There's no way that looks like real hair. His hairline looks a bit like those on baby dolls with painted hair. If he's happy with his result, I guess that's what matters...
