Unfortunately,  it is unusual to consider a hair transplant at your age. This is one of the few options to fill in the area seen on the photo.You would need to see a hair transplant surgeon for a good evaluation.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

If you have hair loss and you're worried or embarrassed be sure to see a dermatologist or specialist in hair loss.There are many possibilities for what you have, including alopecia areata. Your doctor can evaluate the area 'up close' and tell you what's going on and how best to treat it.
