I Was Told I Don’t Have Good Density for Transplant

I had my second consultation with Dr. Bernstein in Fort Lee recently, and He told me that with a 1.3 rear hair density, I was not a great candidate for a transplant. I already have atleast a Norwood 4a and I don’t see what I have to lose (pardon the pun) by what I think would significantly improve my appearance if for a while. What is your opinion on this?

Telling me your donor density in one area does not tell me enough about your donor hair quality or your hair health. Asians often have donor densities of 1.6 and Africans have donor densities of 1.3. Do you have Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia? What is your age? These two questions are very important. For an African or Asian man under 25, a donor density of 1.3 without Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia may make a good candidate with high quality hair, while a Caucasian with Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia present and an effective density of 1.3 might make a very bad candidate for a hair transplant for many reasons. I am sure that Dr. Bernstein knows the answer to these questions and you should speak with him about it. I need more information to give you more help here.
