September 3, 2017
Asked By:pradeepbr in Santa Clara, CA

I would like to know if patients head might not be able to cope with so many grafts due to blood vessels creation and providing essential supplies for new hairs to grow and survive. I am norwood 6 bald and had a failure with mega hair transplant last year but got a 3000 graft transplant recently with a skilled doctor in bay area. I feel i can use beard hair and get crown area covered.
