I’m going bald- without a doubt will loose all the hair on top of my head. I’ve had a few consultations- and have been quoted anywhere from 1,500 to 3,500 grafts so I don’t know what to believe! My biggest concern is getting a transplant too early and will end up with further balding.

Answer: Your Biggest Concern is My Biggest Concern Too Hi captaingroove, thank you for posting your question on realself.comIt is not too early for you to get a transplant. I would prefer that you start early. Often patients who think the hair transplant is the only way to improve their hair begin to quickly learn that adding hair doesn't mean the rest of your hairs will behave. Treat your hair restoration as an investment. Protecting the optimal results of a hair restoration is half the battle. Look at what you are willing to do. Find a routine that will become as normal as brushing your teeth. Often this sounds like a downer, but my patients feel the results are so spectacular they want to keep it that way. Your donor area looks good, so you can probably do multiple procedures. Why do this if you can prevent it? Consider if you did a procedure today. The permanent hairs grow. If our concern of the remaining hairs being lost in an advanced male pattern continues, what would it look like? I design your hair restoration to look like a natural pattern of male hair loss. With this in mind, if you lost more hair, you would not feel forced to do another procedure to fix something that looks sectional or man-made. Find a hair restoration practice that understands your biggest concern and addresses it fully to your satisfaction. Find a board certified in hair restoration practice that is results oriented. Best Regards,Bernardino Arocha, MD, FISHRS

Answer: HT or to not HT? You didn't mention your age but the most important thing to do now is stop the loss of more hair and protect the existing hair.This can be done with adjuncts such as Minoxidil ,Finasteride ,PRP and/or Low Level Laser Light.
