Are Patients with Diffuse Hair Loss Good Candidates for Hair Transplant Surgery?

In our experience, diffuse hair loss can be difficult to treat. Attempting to build up hair density while at the same time avoiding trauma to the existing hair makes this a tough case for surgical hair restoration. 5x Loupes to magnify the hair transplant recipient area is a necessity.

Here is a series of photos of a recent follicular unit extraction (FUE) case, Pre-op, immediately post-op and 5 months post-op (submitted by the patient).
