I’ve had 5 [tag]hair transplants[/tag] over the last 15 years with the last one 2 years ago with a total of more than 4500 grafts, all in the frontal part of the head. The problem is the new hair only lasts a certain amount of time and then it starts falling out. It used to last longer in the past but now it doesn’t seem to last more than a year before thinning starts all over. I’m now a 2 or 3 on the [tag]Norwood Scale[/tag] for [tag]hair loss[/tag] as if I’ve never had any hair transplants done. At this point, more procedures aren’t an option, knowing that I’ll end up losing that hair too.
I’m now living a nightmare and suffer from deep depression and anxiety with the likelihood that I’ll end up losing all my transplanted hair. I’ve talked to my doctor – who’s a very reputable and well known hair transplant doctor in Canada- and he’s telling me this is a very rare case (2%) where the body ends up rejecting the transplanted hairs due to some kind of an autoimmune problem and told me there was nothing that could be done in this case.
Is there anything anyone can tell me about this? Is this really it for me?
I agree with your [tag]hair transplant[/tag] surgeon. This is highly unusual. I’m not a physician and, even if I were, I would not be able to provide any more insight into our case without the opportunity for an examination. Thus, I suggest getting a second opinion from a dermatologist specializing in [tag]hair loss[/tag]. There are other, non-genetic, causes of [tag]thinning hair[/tag] and there may be other factors at play.
Has your [tag]hair restoration[/tag] physician discussed the potential benefits of [tag]Propecia[/tag] ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) and [tag]Rogaine[/tag] ([tag]minoxidil[/tag])? Though not generally known for their success in frontal hair, it seems that these medical [tag]hair loss treatments[/tag] would be worth a try.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question. The transplanted hair was harvested from the "permanent" zone. I've only dealt with the best hair transplant doctors and the hair at the back and sides of my head is still very thick (no horse shoe).
I am actually using Fin and Minoxidil and have been for the past 15 years or so.
I forgot to mention that I had a biopsy done (from the recipient area) but it didn't show anything. The only thing I can think of is that I have a really bad dandruff/dermatitis problem that doesn't seem to go away ever and I do wear a cap the whole time I'm outside and I'm thinking that might have contributed to the loss of the transplanted hair over the time even though I don't understand why the hair would grow perfectly for a year to 3 years then it'd start disappearing.
