Can Norwood 5A Get Full Coverage from Transplantation?

Greeting Dr Rassman,
my question is the following : How often do you see people with Norwood “A”-pattern hair loss that reach Norwood 7 (or 6) AND how difficult is a 5a pattern to treat with transplants (can they get full coverage). My grandfather has a Norwood 7 (in “one go”, so no separate vertex balding), my father is maybe thinning into a 5a, that’s why I’m curious.

I generally like the results on the ‘A’ pattern balding patient, provided that they have a good density and scalp laxity. Even a Norwood 7 can get full coverage (see here). Hair transplants are about hair supply and the demand for hair as determined by the balding pattern (size of the bald area).
