Los Angeles Hair Transplant doctors

Hair transplants can be done to treat the baldness secondary to your accident, but grafts do not grow as well in scarred tissue and it is difficult to to achieve normal uniform density  that matches the rest of the scalp in a female patient. Moving the adjacent hair-bearing scalp after excising the scar would give you a natural result will total freedom of styling.

It is very unlikely that hair transplant surgery will be unsuccessful when done by a good surgeon and his/her team. However some results are better than others. It is important that the patient is a good candidate for this surgery with adequate donor supply and quality hair. Remember, alopecia is progressive throughout life. Good health is important with any surgical procedure. Success will depend on the goals of the patient who will be the ultimate judge. That is why many of our patients prefer the Fleming/Mayer Flap which provides immediate results with normal, uniform density and freedom of styling.

First of all a woman should have a medical evaluation to rule out problems such as hormonal or thyroid imbalance as a cause of thinning hair. Hair transplants are an excellent  way to treat pattern loss that we frequently see in females.
