  7. DO I HAVE DUPA HAIR LOSS?...

Do I have DUPA hair loss? Can see scalp on sides of head. (Photos)

July 29, 2017
Asked By:NevenDursic in Los Angeles, CA

I noticed that my donor area is thinner than 10 years. Now i can see my scalp on the sides of my head. I wanted to get a hair transplant to hide the general thinning on the top of my head. I am really worried about having DUPA and to not be a good candidate. What do you think? Thank you

I have cobblestoning (bumping) after a hair transplant. Can scar gel improve it? (Photo)
Jae Pak, MD says:

It is very difficult to fix a bad hair transplant, cobble stoning, or scarring.  Scar removing gels will not likely help.  Unfortunately there is no clear solution to the scarring.

If you are losing hair and want treatment options you should schedule a consultation with a doctor for the exact reason of possibly losing more hair in the future.  You need an examination and a face to face discussion of what to expect with the realistic results your doctor can provide.
