Shedding of hair
I got a hair transplant of 1000 grafts on temples to straighten my hairline.
But now I can see that the hair behind the transplanted hair has thinned out which was not the case before the transplant.
What's the cause of it?
Please help me out I'm worried.

It is normal process of progression of alopecia.
Transplanted hair stay but since you are young the process is in progression.personally I do not recommend a hair transplant before atleast 25years of age, since you need to first control hairfall.
Please consult online for detailed consultation and treatment.

If you have androgenetic alopecia, even after hair transplant, few medications have to be continued for some time to maintain the transplanted hair and prevent other hairs falling off. You need to check if these were given and you are taking them regularly.
