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: Hair transplant - when is the best time It is important to assess the patient history which includes family history Norwood scale, speed of ongoing hair loss and response to non-surgical treatment. For patients who are experiencing ongoing hair loss, hair transplant can still be performed but we have to plan out the management wisely such that at the end of the final hair loss process, the final hair appearance will look natural. With this group of patients, I often start with oral minoxidil +/- finasteride to help keep their current hair.

Answer: Hair Transplant Dear captaingrooveThanks for the question. Before all, your current physical and mental health condition should be fine. Your donor site which is the back of scalp should have adequate supply of hair to extract and this amount should be enough to restore an acceptable large portion of the bald area with a desired density. Your expectation with the result should be realistic. I wish you all the best.
