There is no real anatomical risk to the Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP); however, there is something that we call the Master Plan that you need to discuss with your doctor, which includes planning for SMP and hair transplants. If you want us to be your doctor, please contact my office at 800-NEW-HAIR and send me some […]

We always advocate having a Master Plan made, which means you need a consultation with a doctor. I do not know the future of hair restoration technology, but a hair transplant surgery would not be a contraindication to any future developments. That is, unless you end up with a bad hair transplant surgery… so choose […]
You are getting way ahead of yourself here. You need to first get a diagnosis from a physician and then discuss your options in a Master Plan for treatment. If you are scared to take a medication due to potential side effects, that is up to you and your doctors to decide. Finally, wearing hair […]
African hair requires considerable experience and few doctors have mastered the process. We have had no problem with this type of transplant of African-American hairs that are kinky. After a year, the results from your transplant should be noticeable by now. I hope you didn’t have a transplant failure, but an exam would be able […]
Great question. I assume you are a male. This makes a difference, as females with this problem can safely have a hairline lowering procedure, as they will not lose the hair above that was moved down. A male with active hair loss will most likely lose the lower hairline and be no better off (possibly […]
Medications do not usually work to regrow hair in the frontal hairline, but hair transplant surgery generally address this area well. Whether you are ready or should undergo hair transplant surgery is between you and your doctor, and part of the Master Plan. Each and every patient is different, with different goals and expectations. There […]
You need to discuss these issues with your surgeon and have a good basic concept of the Master Plan and future consequences. Mid-scalp harvesting can cause more scarring and an unnatural outcome. I do not know exactly what you are planning, but it does not sound realistic. If the surgery is planned out well, you […]
Only YOU can answer this question. A hair transplant is an elective cosmetic surgery to enhance your appearance. It is not a necessity. If you want to look better now with a fuller, hairier look, then it is your choice. If you want to wait until you have more hair loss before going ahead, that […]
About 7 years ago, I saw a 21 year old man from the UK who had a hair transplant when he was 17 years old to his frontal hairline corners (when he only had hair loss in those areas), and eventually became completely bald to a Norwood class 6 pattern. He was left with 2 […]
You should always start off with a Master Plan, created by you and your doctor based upon his findings during your examination. If you have wavy hair in the donor area it will grow out as wavy hair in the transplanted area. There are no requirements to measure miniaturization. It is something I stress in […]
It technically can be done… but that would not be a good plan. Generally, when the Norwood class 3 pattern is treated, it should remain untouched. If you are smart about your hair loss treatment and use the drug finasteride (Propecia), then hopefully you can prevent your migration of the hair loss as you age. […]
As you are now off the steroids and have been for some time, you will be treated as any other balding patient. Of course, you took some steps backward with hair loss that may never return, but that does not mean it is hopeless. A visit to a doctor’s office who cares about you and […]
Not everyone has the exact same goal, and some patients have transplants to keep ahead of their thinning. This issue is up to both you and the doctor to plan out the Master Plan. Generally, most patients do not wait until they are completely bald… but in your case at 20 years old with early […]
Oh boy. Why in the world would you want your hair loss to progress faster?! Please read about building a Master Plan. If you are ready for a hair transplant, I would think you would want your existing native hairs present as long as possible for a better result. Shock loss may be an issue, […]
I’m glad that you’ve found the site to be a useful resource. You might be able to get to that Norwood 3 hairline through surgery, but what you need is a Master Plan that takes the following into consideration: Your hair density The thickness of the hair shaft The present color of your hair The […]
