You are almost certainly too young to have hair transplants. Wtihout seeing you and examining you, I can not really understand what your hair looks like throughout the scalp. Seeing through the hair to the scalp means that you hair is probably very, very fine. This is a common look, something that my generation called […]

I could write a book about this subject. Many years ago when larger grafts were used, it was impossible to hide a hair transplant because the wounds were large (between 3 and 5 mm). Large wounds, are obvious and at the time that these were done (late 1980s and early 1990s) the typical patient had […]
You can transplant hairs to thinning areas and the hairs will grow. But your miniaturized hairs that are at the end of their life, may fall out as a result of the transplant. But you and your doctor need to discuss the potential for shock hair loss, how to prevent it and its risks versus […]
My opinion remains the same. Let’s start with the basics: Hair transplant procedure is a cosmetic procedure to make you look better. If you don’t like your balding or your receding hair line and you have hair transplant procedure, you can enjoy your hair now. You don’t have to wait for cloning which still may […]
“Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified 19 cases of nontuberculous mycobacteria wound infections among US residents who had undergone cosmetic surgery in the Dominican Republic.[1] Fourteen of these patients required hospitalization in the United States, with corrective surgery and long courses of antibiotic therapy.” This was quoted from Medscape June 24, […]
You need an evaluation and a Master Plan. At this point, you really don’t know what type of hair loss pattern you have or if you will bald further than the frontal corners. If were to have surgery without a Master Plan with everything under consideration, you could end up with two patchy corner areas […]
I am not sure what your doctor means by “stabilized”. In young men, the hair situation is progressive, so unfortunately stability is not the rule. After a hair transplant, some of the hair loss will increase (shock loss)… so a hair transplant is destabilizing. You should be on finasteride for a good few weeks before […]
Yes, you can technically take hair from the crown and put it in the hairline… but if you harvest from the crown, then you’ll have a potentially bald-looking crown. I wouldn’t recommend this being done. For example, let’s say your genetics might just have crown loss in your future, in that case you would’ve had […]
Each case is different, so you will need a diagnosis first to see if you are balding. Some young men get freaked out about a mature hairline (which is not balding), so it’s very important that you get a diagnosis before you can plan for surgery to address any cosmetic issues to the frontal hairline. […]
Dr. Farjo will give you good advice on these issues. If he thinks your hair loss won’t progress to your father’s pattern, I would plan for that. Ask you dad when he started to lose hair. I suspect he started earlier than you and accelerated more quickly. That said, since we never know with 100% […]
A good female hair transplant patient will have: healthy hair around the back and sides of the head limited area of thinning or balding (example: frontal hair loss) medium or heavier hair good hair densities good medical health without any diseases that cause hair loss no medications taken that cause hair loss tried medical treatments […]
I wouldn’t recommend it, but I suppose what you’re asking can be done theoretically. However, if you have a good Master Plan and a good surgeon, you should be able to plan out how to address your hair needs now so that it doesn’t look bad even 50 years from now if you continue to […]
There are many patients who undergo hair transplant surgery in their 20’s and 30’s that still have a full head of transplanted hair in their 50’s. There is a small minority of patients who were never properly diagnosed and perhaps do not have genetic androgenic alopecia, but rather have another type of balding (such as […]
Here’s a story about a patient that has had four total hair transplant procedures — procedure #1 and #2 in 1995-1996 with us totaling 3286 hair grafts, procedure #3 with another doctor a couple of years ago of 1000 grafts, and finally procedure #4 (to fix procedure #3). This gentleman continued to lose hair after […]
You may have serious problems if you had a 2000 graft transplant at the age of 19. I generally look at 19 years old (or even 21 in your case) as a person who is not a candidate for a hair transplant. You need a Master Plan by a competent and caring doctor. The doctor […]
