Due to having an eating disorder all my teenage years and only just finding out now (25) that I have anaemia and other deficiencies, my hair has started to become a lot thinner. If I get hair placed in thinner areas of my head, and around my hairline, will the hair from the donor site grow back at all? Will there be more hair after the transplant or will it still be exactly the same amount of hairs just relocated? If put my hair in a ponytail will it still only be as thick as it was before?

Answer: Hair Transplant Does Not Produce More Hair. Not many women are a candidate for hair transplant surgery. Depending on certain type of hair loss, some women can be a candidate for hair surgery. Hair transplant in the frontal are tend to be more successful than the crown area, especially with women hair loss. Once the hair have been harvested from the donor area, it will not grow back. There will not be more overall hair after hair transplant surgery. All we do is relocating the donor hair to the recipient area.

Answer: Donor hair in female hair transplant Donor hair will not grow back once it has been removed. It has been relocated to the new recipient area. There will be scars remaining in place where the donor hair was removed (either a line scar from FUT or dot scars from FUE). The total number of hairs on the scalp will remain the same as will the thickness of your ponytail - assuming you do not also experience shock loss of hair. Cloning would increase the total number of hairs on your scalp but this is not readily available yet. Hair loss from an eating disorder is likely also telogen effluvium, which is reversible and not best treated with transplant. I would also caution against surgery at a young age.
