I am a 26-year-old female with a small bald spot, front and center of my head. As you can imagine, the location is made it difficult to part my hair any other way than a side part. I don’t remember when my hair fell out, but to the best of my knowledge, I did not have the spot when I was born. I was told it could be triangular alopecia or a form of it. I do not have any other bald spots or hair loss and tried a corticosteroid shot to stimulate hair growth along with OTC growth products recommended by a dermatologist. No success. I am curious about a hair transplant and was wondering if it could be possible and if so, how many hair grafts would likely be needed so I could try and estimate the cost for this surgery?
