I am currently in my 30's Norwood 2 and considering hairline transplant. According to my genetics, there is a good chance ill progress to Norwood 6-7 in the future. I know that I will need further transplants in the future, and that the surgeon needs to plan the current transplant wisely. But my question is will I have a period of weird bald spots and hair patches in the few months before the second transplant? How will I know when to do the second hair transplant?

Answer: Hair transplants You have two issues. The first being the correction of your hairline and the second is your genetic tendency to progressive hair thinning. I would recommend you approaching this problem with more tools than just hair transplantation. Hair transplantation is a great tool but don't overlook all other tools, like minoxidil, finesteride, low level laser, PRP, and etc. I have a whole hair clinic dedicated to both surgical and medical management of male pattern alopecia. Take advantage of the many tools available in slowing the hair miniturization process.

Answer: Planning hair transplant. Yours is a most reasonable and practical question. If your first hair transplant session gives you good coverage after a year, you likely will experience very gradual thinning behind the transplants. It should look natural and additional transplants would be considered once there is a styling problem. Your surgeon should plan this out with you.
