Why Do Some People Have Hair Loss in the Hair Transplant Donor Zone?

This question, from a member of our hair loss social community and discussion forums, was answered by Coalition hair transplant surgeon Dr. Glenn Charles:

I have male pattern baldness (MPB) and my sides and back are thinning too. I got my blood checked and everything was okay except a little low vitamin D. What causes thinning hair in the hair transplant permanent zone on the sides and back?

Some patients have diffuse hair loss in all areas of the scalp. Generally, these patients are not good candidates for hair restoration surgery. However, you should visit a hair transplant surgeon to determine if you are in this category.
