This question, from a member of our hair loss social community and discussion forums, was answered by Coalition hair transplant surgeon Dr. Glenn Charles:
Is it possible to use your father’s donor area for a hair transplant? I think that the answer is no, but I still want to confirm. I have got baldness from my maternal side. My father has a thick full head of hair. Irony with me is that I am a 6 on the Norwood Scale with retrograde alopecia.
You have to remember that you get half your genes from the father and half from the mother.
