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?
Due to having an eating disorder all my teenage years and only just finding out now (25) that I have anaemia and other deficiencies, my hair has started to become a lot thinner. If I get hair placed in thinner areas of my head, and around my hairline, will the hair from the donor site grow back at all? Will there be more hair after the transplant or will it still be exactly the same amount of hairs just relocated? If put my hair in a ponytail will it still only be as thick as it was before?
Would it be possible to fill the temples of someone who naturally has hair in that area (despite no history of hair loss) to the same density as the surrounding non-bald regions? I understand that transplanting a high density of grafts (e.g., 8090 grafts/cm) in a single session is generally not recommended due to concerns about graft survivability. But what if the procedure is split into two sessions: first placing around 50 grafts/cm, then following up with an additional 3040 grafts/cm in a second session to reach the target density? Would this staged approach be feasible and safe? Additionally, could medications like Cialis or Viagra during the recovery period help improve graft survival by enhancing blood flow to the scalp?
I know this may be a silly question, but I'm in the process of looking into a hair transplant for my hairline, and I'm wondering if it's possible for the transplant to change the way my hair parts at the front? I wouldn't want this of course, but let's say I comb over my hair from left to right, is it possible that the hairs at the front now go from right to left? Or that they go in a different direction than the hairs behind them? Any info would be appreciated!
Hi everyone, I'm looking into a hair transplant, but oddly one of the things that is causing me hesitation is not really the procedure per se, but rather (perhaps irrationally) a fear of encountering lidocaine toxicity. Is this something any of you have run into, and is there anything you can share around how clinics typically mitigate this? It would help considerably. Thanks!
The hairs on my hands and fingers are of very similar length and texture to my eyebrows. Would it be possible to perform a hair transplant, or is he skin in this region too thin, making extraction impossible? Would there be any other downsides aside from circular scars and potentially a low graft survival rate?
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 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.
