If you’ve followed the many questions and answers on this blog, you will see that there really is no ‘generic master’ plan. The doctor must create a full map of your scalp loss status, the degree of miniaturization of the hair at each point on your scalp showing the balding and thinning area so that […]

This is a great subject, one that is important to everyone who undergoes a hair transplant. In essence, JX is asking, “How does the hair transplant fit into the changes that keep producing more hair loss?” Much of this material is covered in a book I wrote, The Patient’s Guide to Hair Restoration. You can […]
This is a difficult question to answer properly, so as I have lots of room and time to consider the question thoroughly, I will answer it in great detail. Read as much as you wish. The Hair Restoration industry has a society called the ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons) and they are trying […]
I’m 22. I recently went to turkey to complete a FUE hair transplant, where basically it was just to fix my hairline and make it more straight and filled out a bit more and not a full scalp job. I also got my beard filled out as there was little area of no growth, everything […]
That is a lot of grafts for the frontal area. What happens if you lose the back as your hair loss progresses? Is there enough donor hair left to follow your balding? What is your Master Plan? Actually, I think what you did was overkill, using too many grafts. Let’s assume that you continue to […]
I’m 21 and I want to get a hair transplant. My Norwood class of balding is a Class 3. I met with one doctor who wanted to do 4000 grafts on me. What do you think? At 21, you should not do any hair transplants. Your balding pattern will not be clear, and the use […]
Yesterday, we did SMP (Scalp Micpigmentation) on a patient whose hair transplant didn’t quite achieve the desired FULLNESS he nor I wanted to achieve. He reached his limit of grafts at about 4000 grafts but still wanted a full head of hair. He had a very large head and a poor donor density. I subsidized […]
I am unsure if you have a Class 6 or 7 pattern balding pattern from the photo you supplied to me. Still, in any event, to set realistic expectations, you need to know the following: (1) donor density, (2) donor hair mass, (3) the capabilities of your surgical team, (4) what your Master Plan is […]
You need to know the following: (1) donor density, (2) donor hair mass, and (3) what your Master Plan is for going forward after the hair transplant, as you may lose more hair. There are many limitations for men with fine hair and low donor densities. Blonde men generally require fewer grafts to create more […]
I think that 23 years of age is too early because your final balding pattern doesn’t usually show up until you are 25-26 years of age, and even at 26, it may not show up. When I do a hair transplant, I prefer men over 25. The number of grafts depends on four factors: (1) […]
Age: 28: I was quoted 3800 grafts (3000 scalp, 600 chest and 200 beard) for the front and another surgery for the crown (which idk how many grafts it will still need). Thoughts on: Frontal density regarding 3800 Would the donor area hold up for 7000 grafts overall? I won’t take any medications but considering […]
So the biggest issue with going to a hair mill is that you dont know who the doctor will be? It’s just some random technician? byu/SunilaP inHairTransplants “I have a friend who went to NOW HAIR CLINIC, loved his results. But the more I google them I see a lot of negative reviews. I understand […]
I’m on 0.5mg Dutasteride and 5 mg oral minoxidil right now, I’m willing to fight till death to keep my hair but i see a thinning pattern that is scary like nw7 scary. What could I do to more, I’m willing to do anything except sex altering drugs. You need a good doctor to develop […]
How is the donor area approached and managed for a hair transplant based on the balding pattern? What I mean is the donor area for a Norwood 4 is going to be larger than for a person with a Norwood 7 whose crown dips down and cuts into much of the donor area. A good […]
I just turned 17, and I have a family history of balding in most members of my family, both my mother’s and my father’s side. What should I do? I assume you have genetics in the family, and you are concerned that you MIGHT follow the family pattern somehow. Just keep an eye on your […]
