Can I Have a Hair Transplant If I Have My Head Already Shaved?
Hi, is it easier to operate on a person with a shaved head (#2)? I want a transplant but i have a shaved head. Someone told me you can’t get a donor strip with the hair to short? Is this right? I thought it would be easier if I have a shaved head?
A shaved head can be transplanted. I generally like a couple of weeks growth so that the hair length will be about 1/4 inch, which is enough to cover the scar from the excision of the donor strip. Although it is easier to transplant a head where the hair is very short, with good skills and a great staff, it is not necessary to shave the head.
