Can hair loss be predicted by a medical professional?

This insightful article was written by Dr. William Lindsey of Reston, VA who is one of our recommended hair restoration physicians.

I have had a number of balding patients who recently have either seen other local hair restoration doctors for consultations, or who have had a hair transplant procedure in the past and now have lost more hair.  A common theme has been that they were told by other consultants that they weren’t going to experience more hair loss.

I am pretty frank with folks and admit:

1. If I could predict the future, I wouldn’t be doing hair work, but picking stocks or making bets in Vegas.

2. Since a major component of eventual hair loss is genetics and luck, I can estimate potential loss if “everyone in the family” has a certain pattern, but its only a guess.

So my question to hair transplant patients or men and women with advanced balding patterns who’ve seen a doctor, was their prediction about future hair loss right?   Were you advised to a smaller or larger hair transplant session?

William Lindsey, M.D.
