I used to have very thick hair. Over the past 2 years, I have bleached my hair multiple times, sometimes harshly (using 40 developer). The bleach went up against the scalp as well. I've stopped bleaching my hair, but now all new hair that grows in isn't as thick as it used to be, and this is 3 or 4 months since my last bleaching. My hair was thick 6 months ago. Is this temporary and will my hair eventually come back to normal, or am I balding? Could bleach accelerate baldness?

Greetings,We advise to avoid sexual activity for first week after hair transplantation. The rationale is to avoid increasing blood pressure. There are no studies supporting this however.

Everybody experience pain and post operative issues in different ways. If you feel there is something wrong ti is best to contact your doctor. What you describe seem not out of the ordinary.
Transplanting a Norwood Class 7 can be easily accomplished if you have a high donor density, if you use Scalp MicroPigmentation to augment the results or beard hair as a donor source. Body hair below the neck is not as effective and very costly.
