I had a HT with a top surgeon often recommended on this site, he is known as one of the best, the work was on the hairline only on the only bare area( i was close to norwood3) of around 1500 grafts, I was happy with the result for 2 years (fyi I am on finasteride and have been for years).
After a couple of years only the transplanted hairs, almost all of them , fell suddenly, the regrew and keep falling, every few months going through the same until they stopped growing, this has been going on for close to 3 years, so I'm literally like pre surgery now.
Dr suggested blood tests and scalp biopsy which show that I am clean and healthy(no crazy stress or bad habits) and this is not due to a strange autoimmune hair loss condition, which makes it a during surgery issue.
Point is through my research and other Dr's have mentioned that during the surgery they could have made damage to the stem cell of the follicle or something of the sort which makes the hair unable to survive through time but often does during the first few years of the first cycle of growth.
My question is 1500 grafts have been wasted and the last years being a bitch regarding the instability of the now failed HT; so I have to go through pretty much the same exact surgery again covering the same area in the same way with another 1500 grafts or so, if I choose the same Dr to basically repair the whole thing and perform the same surgery, what would an ethical Dr do and offer?
80% discount? Free surgery?
What would an ethical Dr do in this case?
