I am Concerned My Hair Transplant Won’t “Take”
I am a 46 yr old female wanting a hair transplant. I am concerned the transplant won’t “take”. I have no conclusive diagnosis. One Doctor thinks genetic, another thinks hormonal. Also, the texture changed to bumpy/kinky, like pubic hair. I wouldn’t want to transplant it. Any suggestions?
I don’t quite understand what you are asking. All surgeries have risks, just as driving your car has risks. You need good examination and a diagnosis before considering surgery. You also need to trust the doctor and establish a good communication line where your risks and benefits and expectations are addressed. Hairs that initially grow out from a hair transplant surgery may grow more coarse and wavy (rarely as you describe like “pubic hairâ€), but that is a risk and over time and it generally returns to its normal texture… unless the hair was harvested from your pubic area, of course.
