Is a hair transplant like this possible for a Norwood 7? (Photos)

Asked By:jakeg178 in Grand Junction, CO

I am a Norwood 5 at 20. I did not respond to min or fin and refuse to take stronger anti androgens. I will almost certainly be a nw 7 by the time I’m 25. My question is, could a surgeon using FUE take 100% of my donor hair and transplant it to my scalp, leaving the sides and back permanently bald, and giving me essentially a permanent fade/undercut? I know there would be visible scarring but I don’t care, it’s better than being nw 7 bald. I’d get SMP on donor area afterwards to hide scarring.
