How Long Should I Wait to Have a Second Transplant Performed

If you're transplanting into an entirely new area, then 6 months is about correct. You need time for the donor area to heal properly before taking the next strip.
If you're going back to the same area for more density (ideally you had a dense, one-pass session the first time so hopefully this isn't the case, but sometimes it is) then you probably want to wait 10-12 months at least, to let the first hair transplant mature. The LAST thing you want is to go back into an area and destroy a previously-transplanted graft because it hadn't sprouted yet and nobody saw it. It's extremely difficult, but you have to be patient in this case. Good luck!
