Is my transplant a failure ?

[Folly]

While you may want him to go further back into your thinning area, many top surgeons would refuse to do this because you risk losing or accelerating the loss of your native hair - which is already going through some miniaturization and could suffer greatly from 'shock loss'.

Can you completely lose native hair from a HT, when grafts are placed in close proximity to native hairs ? Terminal native hair that is. Obviously, if your terminal hair goes through shock loss after surgery, it will come back thinner and hence, you have accerelated your MPB. But is it possible to lose terminal hairs completely after surgery? Does this mean you should never allow a surgeon to implant grafts in areas where you still have a high density of native hair?
