This question, asked by a member of our Hair Loss Social Community and Discussion Forums, was answered by Coalition hair transplant surgeon Dr. Glenn Charles:
I had a hair transplant 12 months ago. The result was good, but not quite great/excellent. After a year of waiting, it is fairly apparent to me that I need to add density pretty much everywhere I had work done. Especially the crown area has not yielded enough hair for my liking.
I would not call this a repair operation, as it was known and explained to me by my doctor even before my operation that I would need a second procedure if I wanted my transplanted hair to look as thick as the rest of my hair. My first hair transplant was follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and I am going for the same with my second one.
