    Default Shaving off failed hair transplant

    Hi there, basically I rushed into a hair transplant about a year and a half ago where they lowered the hairline quite a bit. The results have not been good at all though and only about 40% of the hairs grew in if that. The hair on top of my head is extremely thin now and I think I just need to shave it off with a 0 guard and get on with my life. The donor area scarring is fine and I'm not worried about that. I'm more worried about what the sparse thin transplanted hairs will look like, please help as it's killing me!

    I think you can shave it no problem. I would also notify your Doctor, as few Docs like unhappy patients and are willing to work with you to find a solution.

    Thanks folks, I'm going to go for it tonight, I was just worried the transplanted area at the front would stick out a mile and look stupid. Here's praying it doesn't😂
