Hello, I lost most of my hair on the outer shins, and I'm having difficulties finding surgeons experienced with this (rare) procedure. My biggest concerns are, if scalp hair is used, how likely is it that it will keep growing longer than the rest of the leg hair, and also in regards to scarring, how likely is it and what to pay attention to when transplanting into the shin area? And lastly, since I lost my shin hair, can the scalp/body hair not fall out just the same? Thank you very much for any insights.
I am a 26-year-old female with a small bald spot, front and center of my head. As you can imagine, the location is made it difficult to part my hair any other way than a side part. I dont remember when my hair fell out, but to the best of my knowledge, I did not have the spot when I was born. I was told it could be triangular alopecia or a form of it. I do not have any other bald spots or hair loss and tried a corticosteroid shot to stimulate hair growth along with OTC growth products recommended by a dermatologist. No success. I am curious about a hair transplant and was wondering if it could be possible and if so, how many hair grafts would likely be needed so I could try and estimate the cost for this surgery?
I had hair transplant six months ago, yesterday I went to have Botox on my forehead and to numb my forehead, for half an hour doctor put numbing cream which also covered some of my front transplanted hair and then wiped it off and I had no burning sensation. Now Im really worried if numbing cream has burned my new transplanted hair follicles or cause my hair to fall off.

I've decided to undergo an FUE hair transplant, but I can't afford a highly experienced doctor just yet. I'm currently weighing two discounted options that I've been offered: 1. A clinic with a doctor who recently transitioned from Emergency Medicine to hair transplants. She completed her training in February 2025, and the procedure would be supervised by an experienced, well-reviewed hair transplant doctor. 2. A clinic with an experienced nurse who has 15 years of expertise in hair transplants, is recommended by Artas, and is well-known for her work across Canada. The procedure would be overseen by a doctor with about 2 years of experience in hair transplants. Given your expertise, which option would you recommend? Is there significant risk in choosing a doctor who is new to hair transplants or working with someone who isn't a doctor but has extensive experience in the field? Are there other factors I should consider before making my decision? Or would it be wiser to save up for a more experienced doctor with a great reputation?
Hello, I had a hair transplant six months ago to restore some of my receded hairline. The recession happened five years ago a bit and it stopped. I had no hair loss prior to the hair transplant. However, one month into the hair transplant I started losing crazy amounts of native hair in untouched areas. I still continue to lose 80-100 hairs a day. I've been on Finasteride for over 1 year now. I have attached trichoscopy photos of my scalp from untouched areas.
Hi everyone, Is there any risk by having a Hair Transplant procedure 3 weeks after the rhinoplasty surgery? The hair transplant would be only to recover my hairline But the HT doctor says that I have to stay for about 3 hours with my face down for the graft extraction. Would this normally be a issue? Thanks in advance for your answers.
I recently had my first hair transplant consultation to address traction alopecia. It was recommended i have 3000 grafts via FUT and it would be a fingers width of new hair line. I had no mapping drawn and feel confused and unsure . Any insight please
I did the transplant in winter. Naturally, the temperature in the room was high and the bowls with grafts stood near the radiator. The grafts remained in the saline solution for about 6-7 hours. What is the probability that the implanted grafts were damaged?
