I'm a 27 year old male looking into getting a hair transplant. I have diffuse thinning on the top of my scalp but still have okay coverage. I have been quoted anywhere from 3K to 4500 grafts to get complete coverage. Can I get a transplant & still retain the current hairs I have. I have read that hair transplants before 30 can cause permanent shock loss. I cannot take oral fin as it causes me way too many side effects & am on topical fin & minox at the moment. Would prp during help as well?
