Can I have Hair Transplant Surgery in the Front Area of my Balding Scalp Even Though I Still Have a lot of Hair?
Hello, My hair started thinning approximately 2 years ago. I take [tag]Propecia[/tag] ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) which has helped, but I am conscious of the [tag]hair loss[/tag] I am experiencing at the front of my head. Is it possible to have a [tag]hair transplant[/tag] while still having a considerable amount of hair left? Many thanks.
Yes, it is possible to have a surgery in the frontal area of your [tag]balding[/tag] scalp even if you have a good amount of remaining hair.
A qualified [tag]hair restoration[/tag] physician will have to take into consideration factors such as:
- Your age
- Your current level of [tag]balding[/tag]
- Whether or not you are taking any nonsurgical treatments to prevent further [tag]baldness[/tag] such as Propecia ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) or Rogaine ([tag]minoxidil[/tag])
- How many follicular unit grafts you will need in a single [tag]hair replacement[/tag] session
- Working with you to formulate a long term strategy in the event you lose more hair.
Developing a long term hair restoration plan is highly critical as hair loss is unpredictable and progressive. Propecia and [tag]Rogaine[/tag] may not work forever, which means subsequent surgical procedures may be necessary.
I recommend consulting with at least 3 high quality hair transplant surgeons and using our hair loss forum as a tool to see what their patients are saying.
