Hello Dear Patient,
Your donor area looks good and strong. You can get hair transplant if you have this kind of donor.

This is a great question! Very smart of you to think ahead about your donor hair availability for future hair transplant procedures. The only way to make this type of assessment is by shaving the entire scalp to observe the patterns of hair growth density.

At my clinic, we developed a protocol called the FUE Shave Test. which was published in a premier medical journal.  Basically, we look for areas of diminished hair density, (i.e roughly in the nape area) to see if you are genetically predestined to reach the Norwood 6-7 (i.e. severe) stages of male pattern baldness.

If this is the case, we would then plan for the use of body hair to expand your long-term donor supply. Otherwise, in most cases, we would be able to rely on scalp hair only. By using our Shave Test assessment, we are able to know ahead of time how to plan for your long-term hair transplant objectives.

Your donor area is suitable for hair transplantation but the number of grafts depends on the recessive area. You should provide more information to give you a full diagnosis

Yes. Your donor hair is in excellent condition and suitable for hair transplant....however it would need to be reassessed at the time you are considering performing the procedure.
