How Long do Hair Tranplants Last?

Hair taken from an area of the scalp that is not genetically programed to fall out later with age will last  a lifetime. An experienced surgeon must estimate the ultimate exent of baldness because hair loss is usually  progressive. If you are a young man (less than 50 years old) additional transplants will probably be necessary to treat additional hair loss. I am generalizing; please get a consultation so a surgeon can make recommendations considering your appearance and age. While the same factors must be evaluated, flaps may be a good alternative.

In order to know what your supply and demand will be in the future, one has to make an educated guess. If the crown shows any signs of thinning, you will probably have heavy loss. See a professional who has been doing this for a long time and investigate not only grafts but Flaps as well. Though done by few surgeons in the right hands it can give you natural, uniform density without a texture change in the hair and no "rows of corn" look. This procedure requires a high skill level, so be careful.
