Hair Loss Few Years After Hair Transplant

[Ahab]

Nish, I'm guessing that when you had your procedure, the area treated wasn't totally bald and that hairs were transplanted close to already existing, 'native' hairs. It's possible that over time, you've lost those hairs due to a continuation of male pattern baldness. This would explain why the area has become thinner over time.

Does that sound like a reasonable explanation?

Inside the safe zone. And there's no reason to rule out that damage to follicles may take decades to manifest. Should telomere's have been shortened as a result of the follicles going into shock at the time of the transplant, that may well cause senescent cell death years earlier than otherwise. And should the same follicles be shocked repeatedly, by subsequent transplants into neighboring scalp, the telomeres could well have been shortened even more, resulting in premature senescent alopecia in the transplanted follicles.
