My transplanted hair doesn't grow as expected. How to fix it?
As we know, the hair transplant is process that involves extracting hair follicles from the back of the scalp where the hair is healthy and not sensitive to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormone (which is a cause of hereditary hair loss) and transplant to the hair loss affected area (recipient area). To get desired results, there must be two key factors: the original hair must not fall further and transplanted hair must grow at least 90 – 95%.
Even though the hair transplant went well, the results are still not satisfactory for some patients. What can we do? Patients have different expectations for results. Some patients want to increase hair density in affected areas. Some patients want to change their hair line for aesthetic reason. Therefore, surgeon and patient must clearly communicate and make an understanding in order to design the treatment method that meet patient’s need and have a fair expectation. Each individual has different hair and scalp conditions. In order archive the desired result, Hair transplant technique must suit each individual based on their needs, health and scalp condition. An experienced hair
transplant surgeon will be able to accurately assess the condition of your hair and scalp including design a treatment plan, appropriately.

Every problem always has a solution. However, the surgeon may offer appropriate treatment options and inform the patient about the advantages and disadvantages of each option. In the case where hair transplant must be redone in the same area. Before making corrections, the surgeon will examinate the among of remaining hair grafts. What method will be used in the extracting process in order to get the least impact on the number of hairs in the donor area (back of the scalp) because the available hair grafts are limited. As for technique selection, the surgeon must assess a required number of grafts for the second hair transplant. Are there enough hair grafts left? Another topic that must be considered is transplanting hair on the same spot first transplantation. The hair growth rate may not be as good as the first time.
