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 Propecia (finasteride) which has helped, but I am conscious of the hair loss I am experiencing at the front of my head. Is it possible to have a hair transplant 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 balding scalp even if you have a good amount of remaining hair.
A qualified hair restoration physician will have to take into consideration factors such as:
- Your age
- Your current level of balding
- Whether or not you are taking any nonsurgical treatments to prevent further baldness such as Propecia (finasteride) or Rogaine (minoxidil)
- How many follicular unit grafts you will need in a single hair replacement 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 Rogaine 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.
