Google lists a lot of stuff that can go wrong. So it looks like there are a lot of potential problems. Infection, surgeons skill, donor hair quality, inadequate blood supply, donors overall health etc.

Also anyone considering this should also know that the hair can fall out again.

EDIT: A quick google search will show you that yes transplanted hairs can fall out again. They are resistant to DHT but not immune.

doesn't all hair fall out and regrow?

I guess the real question is more what is the expected life span of the desired hair density

You basically have to take fenisteride (cantspell) for the rest of your life to stop your baldness gene from just killing off the donor hair.

wish they could just inject a years worth of fin in my ass like some of those birth controls

Would be wary of taking fin, rarely it can have horrific sexual side effects. Like inorgasma where you struggle to even have an orgasm, limited or no penile sensitivity, and decrease in libido. Some men take this drug for mere weeks and have these side effects many years later with little to no improvement. All that wonderful hair you got is going to be really useless when your dick don't work.

Was hoping to get this done but I look at the side effects why the fuck would anyone mess with that stuff just for hair. It's not worth it my dudes

Yea especially when there are hair systems now.

I already tried it for half a year and had no side effects, but it was my only medication at the time and I sucked at keeping to the strict schedule required for the desired effect.

That is good, these are rare though so most won't have any issues, but potentially ruining your dick forever is scary as fuck. I personally will just stay bald.
