Reasons for not Successful Hair Transplant

Hair transplants are a popular solution for balding or thinning hair, but they carry a risk of failure due to factors such as graft rejection, lack of eligibility, choosing the wrong age or time, unrealistic expectations, poor post-surgery care, and inexperienced plastic surgeons or medical staff. Graft rejection, often linked to Lichen Planopilaris (LLP), can cause inflammation in the upper regions of hair follicles, leading to scar tissue replacement. Eligibility requirements for hair transplants include being younger than 65 years of age and not suffering from blood-borne diseases or hemophilia. 

Choosing the wrong age or time for a hair transplant can also backfire, as early bald patches may crop up later. Unrealistic expectations can limit the results of a hair transplant, so patients should communicate their expectations openly with their surgeons. Post-surgery care should include adjusting sleeping positions, avoiding strenuous activities, alcohol, and limited sun exposure. Inexperienced surgeons or medical staff can also contribute to the failure of hair transplants.
