If I am already taking immunosuppressants for my kidney transplant, can I receive a hair transplant from another donor?

Jennifer37714Dec 14, 2013

Can the donor be deceased? How much would the procedure cost? I have normal hair but it is thin.

Transplanted hairs act like normal hair. If someone has hair loss from chemotherapy, the transplanted hairs will also go.  The good news is that hairs usually grow back when the treatment is complete.  This may take over a year.  However, most of the time it does not grow back to...
