Hi, I am a 30year old male, having considerable hair thinning and some bald patches in the crown area.. I have a Hair-Max comb and do have hypothyroidism (take thyroxin pills). Thing is I want to cover up the bald patches without those toppik/hair fibers as I am into outdoor sports. Is it safe for me to go for a hair transplant (shock loss aftereffects).. If so , then how many grafts should be enough for a full head of hair impression based on the pics. Thanks, you guys are doing a great job.

Answer: Hair transplant for patchy hair loss From your photos, it does appear as though you would benefit from an FUE hair transplant. I have a lot of experience treating patients with your similar hair loss pattern.

Answer: Hair transplant - 30 yo M (crown) Given the current density and your current age, you're not a great candidate. The ideal candidate for crown hair transplants are men in their late 30's -40s with stabilized hair loss. There is an extremely high risk of damage to surrounding hairs and further progression of your hair loss. The key decision now would be whether you wish to consider other treatments like minoxidil, platelet rich plasma or finasteride. Crown restoration is challenging. Men with active and progressive genetic hair loss who have high density to begin with are likely to experience a lot of initial hair damage (killing of miniaturized hairs) as well as a significant potential for shock loss. Speak to a number of surgeons and you'll likely here a similar theme - 30 years is young for crown work
