Shaving the Remaining Hairs Before a Transplant?

hello,
i would like an offer for a hair transplant, i am 24 years old and have good donor hair. I would be willing to visit your clinic in california except, i had a few questions.

what would be the approxiamte price for 3000-4000 grafts if possible?
would my hair remaining hair have to be shaved off to complete the transplant? seeing that i am young and would not like “losing” half a year of my youth.

thanks in advance

You do not need to shave your hair before a hair transplant surgery. There are some doctors that request that you shave, because they want more visibility. From my clinical experience this is rarely the case. We (at NHI) routinely transplant hair without shaving the head. Shaving is more of a doctor’s preference and has nothing to do with the clinical outcome.

Before considering a trip to California for surgery, you should first send some photos and get in contact with me over the phone. You can email photos to the address on the Contact page or call (800) NEW-HAIR. Having a picture would be very helpful.
