Can Hair Be Transplanted Between Existing Hair?
I am suffering from [tag]hair loss[/tag] and considering [tag]hair transplant[/tag] surgery. I want to know if a surgeon can [tag]transplant hair[/tag] in between my existing hair or only in [tag]bald[/tag] areas.
Yes, this is performed quite regularly in hair replacement surgery.
How [tag]densely packed[/tag] hairs can be placed together while minmizing the risk of damage to the existing [tag]natural hair[/tag] ultimately depends on hair density, the [tag]hair transplant physician[/tag]’s skill, the type of incision made (paralel ([tag]sagital[/tag]) or perpendicular ([tag]coronal[/tag]/[tag]lateral[/tag])), and the size of the [tag]follicular unit grafts[/tag]. Using minimally invasive blades and ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation, the [tag]hair replacement[/tag] surgeon can densely pack more hair safely into an area with existing [tag]native hair[/tag] without damaging it or causing transection. A quality [tag]hair restoration[/tag] surgeon will work delicately and carefully making incisions to avoid transection and properly angle them so that the hair will grow in a direction that mimics nature.
I hope this helps.

just had 1400 graft HT done last week, 800 to crown, 600 (592 to be exact) were in-between, took over 10 hours because it is way more demanding HT, also shock loss may play a factor, but any good HT doc can do it, and if you have long hair like me (like Pete Wentz, not Fabio) then its definitely a must for my hairstyle.
