Had two transplants, still not sure whats happening
Hi
I'm 25 years old, and have been suffering from MPB since I was 18, heading towards a Norwood 5. About two years ago I've had my first hair transplant, which was FUT 2300 grafts on the front and crown area which were the most affected parts. My vertex was still ok at that point. However, after the surgery I've had severe rashes on the recipient areas, not to mention shedding as a result of shock. The hair on top of my head started going worse at this point.
Thirteen months later, I wasn't sure of the results despite the doctor's insistence that everything was fine. I couldn't see any improvement on my crown though that might be because most native hairs died due to shock and only the transplanted ones remained. As for my hairline, there was only mild improvement. So I went to another doctor who then told me that he's seeing less than half of the number of grafts that were supposed to have been planted.
I decided to have another surgery by this doctor, this time it was FUE but with only 1,500 grafts to try and fix what appeared to be a botched session. Now it's been seven months since my second transplant, and while I could see some improvement, I am still not quite sure about it. There was significantly less shock loss this time and I had started taking propecia after the surgery, but the crown area still looks bad especially when wet.
Could there be something I'm doing wrong? Are there cases where HTs have very low growth rates? I'm concerned about getting a third and final one to fix my vertex area because there might be factors I'm unaware of that is affecting my results.
