I've always had a high forehead and it's been an insecurity of mine, but over the past 10 years or so (right around the time I began graduate school) I've noticed my hairline has been gradually receding. I don't have much hair loss anywhere else on my head and my hair is very thick, especially in the back and on the sides. Male pattern baldness runs in my family and my dad has a very high forehead, too. Would I be a candidate for either treatment? Thank you! (1st pic is recent, 2nd was at 22yo)
Please see the attached photos. Im aware that Im a tough case. Wondering where I fall on the Norwood scale? How successful a transplant would be (including using beard hair)? Do I exhibit any signs of problematic recession such as retrograde? Thank you!
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?
1yr+ since Esthetician used IPL along entire left hairline. After 7mos of minoxidil blend & latisse, there is short, thin, fluffy, light brown hair growing at least half the thickness & color of right hairline. Derm advised to try topicals first bc hair might just be stunned. I do not think this regrowth will ever look/feel/act like my original hairline. Can transplant be done to restore hairline if there are still active follicles? How long should I wait for regrowth to appear thicker?
I had a melanoma in situ removed from the top of my scalp 3 years ago and it left a quarter sized bald spot. The skin appears to have blood flow(blanchable) but is thinner than the rest of my scalp. Is it possible that hair could be transplanted in that spot? Has anyone had success? Thank you in advance!
how long after my hair transplant can i wear a bandana? I would like to wear one for concealment at work as I cannot wear a hat there. The trasnsplant area is the hairline and temporal areas. If I am not able to do this, can i cover the transplant area with my longer hairs from the top of my head. Would there be any deterimental effects from doing this?
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?
