What Are Hair Transplant Options for Someone Like Steve Ballmer?
Hi doctor Rassman
If someone with the degree of loss of Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, wants a hair transplant and has a very realistic expectations, what options will you give him?
While the options are more limited for those men with the most advanced balding patterns, I have surgically treated a number of patients with a Norwood class 7 pattern, as Steve Ballmer shows in the attached photo.
Hair transplantation can be done successfully if the patient’s donor supply is adequate, such as the case with Patient ZU. This patient had almost 10,000 grafts thanks to good quality, medium weight hair, and a significantly higher hair density than an average Caucasian. There are other class 7 patients you can view here.
I doubt Ballmer would consider such a thing although I do realize why you chose him to illustrate the point. Quite apart from his obvious confidence, Ballmer is at an age when these things seem less important to most men!
Steve ballmer lost his hair in the 80s when he was working on windows 3.0. I remember working with him at that time. Within about 2 months he went from a full head of hair to none at all. They were working intense hours. His hair never recovered. Look it up on google. He made a killing. But his hair never recovered.
