The reality of hair transplantation is that a patient will rarely meet their hair restoration goals with a single procedure. The younger patient who has a small session to restore a receding hairline may find that the progressive nature of hair loss will require him to return in the future to add density while an older patient with advanced balding (4 or 5 on the Norwood scale) may require two sessions over a period of time. But how many procedures will you need? Do all patients require more than one hair transplant procedure?
Forum member “Thinking2” recently started the thread “Multiple Hair Transplants” to discuss this important topic. You are encouraged to share your experience and join in the conversation.
