Hi, I'm a 25 year old man and it seems baldness runs in my family. I am losing my crown and temples and want the FUE surgery. I also am afraid eventually I will be bald at the back of my head and would like to know if FUE will prevent it. I'm also curious about scarring and if it would be noticeable with short hair? Thanks!

Answer: FUE is a method

After a private consultation, any hair surgeon will advice you to keep on with some medicine for a year and then it would be good to consider a hair transplant surgery. As far as I can see 3500-4000 grafts is enough for your head.
Dear Clo80Thanks for the question. Of course it depends on what your job is but generally I advice my patients to be away from work for 10-15 days. I wish you all the best.

Follicle survival depend on how well the graft has been handled during the harvesting and transplanting phase. There is new evidence to show techniques of handling the grafts and solution of PRP enhance survival by 15%.
