It may be tied to your age and how long you have been bald. The longer you are bald (10-40 years) the less likely anything will grow. Is there any hair present?

Had a FUE about 3 years ago and was very happy with the results. Now, it seems like I have half the hair after the FUE and my hair gets very greasy – like one day after shampooing, it feels oily.
Could the transplant have transplanted extra sweat glands in addition to the hair which is causing this? Or is it because there is less hair now which causes more grease to be absorbed by the remaining fewer hairs?
Also, is it normal to have hair loss after FUE – I am thinking of going again, but if I have to do this every 3 years, not sure if its worth it. I am a norwood 6 so I’m assuming that whatever hair has shed in the last 3 years since the transplant is the actual hair (not the transplanted hair).
Oily or “greasy” scalp / hair is not necessarily related to a hair transplant surgery. You may want to see a dermatologist or follow up with your hair transplant surgeon for an exam.
Transplanted hairs may come with oil glands but it does not mean you would have “extra” glands. You can try using different shampoos.
Finally, it is not normal to lose transplanted hairs after surgery. As long as you have good donor hair (and not losing donor hair) your transplanted hairs will behave the same.

At this point, I want to let it go. There are several reasons for that.
All my male relatives have male pattern baldness. So one way or another, it’s going to happen. Feels like I’m fighting a losing battle.
I feel pretty vain acting upon hair loss. Especially when you see others not caring at all. I want to feel good without being attached to my looks. Looks fade.
The time invested in combating hair loss could be used for more productive stuff, especially knowing since my hair is ought to go anyway.
Many men want hair because they are more attractive to themselves and more confident in themselves. I have performed hair transplants on many celebrities who all tell me that it improved their self-confidence. You would be surprised by this if I revealed their names.
I and hundreds of thousands of young men like me got PFS from a single pill, doctor – from the first pill. How would your self-rationalization deal with that inconveninient truth? Oh, I know how:
Denial.
If that is true, I can’t understand the physiology of it. If there were hundreds of thousands of men suffering from PFS from a single pill, I would have seen it in my practice. A single pill? What is the mechanism for it? I am a clinical scientist and I look to science for answers to questions.
A physician wrote: “I have personally been taking finasteride for 14 years and will be taking it for the rest of my life. I have never had a patient in my practice have long term side effects from finasteride [he has prescribed it to thousands of men]. I have only seen a positive psychological influence on my patients’ lives since they realize they are slowing a progressive aging process. I would bet my retirement that there is a lowering depression/suicide rate for patients on finasteride compared to their peer group not on finasteride with similar Norwood pattern hair loss (if this study could ever be performed since there are so many confounding variables).”
All the doctors in my field are struggling with the PFS problem as you told us here. In my practice I have not seen PFS in my patients except one man who reported impotence within 2 hours of taking the first dose and I told him to stop it. Like the doctor I quoted above, I too have been taking finasteride for years with no ED or libido problems. What is in it for me to prescribe it if it didn’t help my patient?

Dear Sir,
I have psoriasis and may be it has caused some hair loss. I would like to know if I conduct hair transplant on the affected area can the hair grow there or the skin become worse?
I too have psoriasis and had a hair transplant twice. The psoriasis did not impact the hair transplant or vice versa. I wrote about this very topic in one of my earliest blog posts way back 5 years ago — Scalp Psoriasis and Transplants.
It’s worth noting that I doubt the psoriasis caused your hair loss unless you picked at your scalp and developed traction alopecia.

We have treated many women such as you with scalp micropigmentation and they have generally been thrilled with the results: (see here:https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/smp-for-women/ )
I m 30 years old male with a complete Class 6 pattern of balding and I have had two FUE transplants with little to show for it. I want to try Propecia to revive the dead hair making i alive again. is that possible?
The drug finasteride does not bring back the dead hairs that you used to have. Photos would help me help you. The best approach is either to complete the transplant with a doctor who will give you a realistic expectation or get Scalpmicropigmentation to create the look of a full head of shaved hair, see: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/bold-shaved-look/
Hello Dr.
I recently(two weeks ago) had a hair transplant and am experiencing a lot of hairfall right now. My Dr. told me that i would lose the transplanted hair after the procedure, but i am also losing a lot of my own hair. Is it normal after the procedure? Would be greatful to you if you could please answer my question.
It sounds like you are experience a phenomenon called “shock loss”. It occurs more in younger patients and patients with pre-existing miniaturized hairs. Thus, you often see me reiterate on here about the importance of a miniaturization study. It is a risk associated with a hair transplant procedure and it should have been outlined for you in your informed consent paper work before the surgery. You should have been put on Propecia prior to the surgery to minimize the risks, particularly if you are under the age of 35 or if you have had recent hair loss.

Yes, the bonding process between the hair system and scalp causes hair loss. It will accelerate the hair loss you already have. This is why many men choose hair transplants to solve the problem.
