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.
