My Transplanted Areas Have Gotten Very Thin
i am a 32 year old male who has had 2 transplant surgeries that have been very successful. i have recently noticed the tranplanted areas have thinned quite a bit all within about a weeks time. could this be due to stress? i thought transplanted hair always remained. is it possible for the new growth to be affected by dht?
thank you
Something is wrong here. Transplanted hair does not usually fall out, even with stress. If you still have native hair in the area where you are reporting the loss and the hair was taken from the true donor rim (not above or below it), you most probably are losing the hair around the transplants. If that is the case, see a good doctor, get your hair mapped out for miniaturization and then you will know for sure what is happening to you. Propecia may stop the loss. The only reasonable explanation if you are really losing your transplanted hair is that the donor hair will be reacting the same way and this diagnosis will be very evident from mapping out your hair for miniaturization in the donor area (from where the hair was originally taken). If you’d like to see me in my Los Angeles office, please call 800-NEW-HAIR to setup a free consultation (and please reference this post when calling).
Dear Sir,
I am Ganesan and I am 22 years old.I have been losing a lot of hair for the past 5 years. The density has fallen to almost 50 percent. My nature of the hair is that it gets oily and sticky an just one or two days after head bath. I have begun to lose hair from the forehead and from the temple and also from the top parts. On an average as of today i lose about 10 to 15 hairs per day. Is it due to the DHT effect since my father is also bald and he got bald at the age of 21 itself. Is there any way to prevent the DHT. Or is there any alternative to regain the density.
Thanks
Ganesan
I had a transplant done exactly 6 months ago. I was under the impression that between months 5 and 6 post-operation I would start to see the new grafts growing in. I have seen nothing, or very little. Does this mean it won’t grow in or something is wrong? I’m getting a little worried about it.
