transplant question

[hurricom]

Can you get a hair transplant if you're beginning to thin? That is, can a Doctor simply implant hair in a thinning area without shaving the patient's head?

Probably a bad idea because hair transplant tends to cause shock fallout of the surrounding area, so you'd only be speeding up your hairloss. Even my butcher recommended I wait until I had lost more hair...

I had a hair transplant approx. 1.5 years ago...

Things were awesome for quite sometime; but then the original hair begin to shed.

The hair still looks pretty darn good; but a tough call ...

You hate to wait until you are slick on top before you go under the knife.
But then again - you have to take into consideration that shedding may
continue and what will things slook like.

Were it me --i'd GO FOR IT and get on a good regimen to preserve and possibly regrow things

The most honest and ethical advice you can receive right now is medicinal, not surgical. Are you on hairloss meds right now like finasteride?

if your hairloss is in evolution, especially with a general thinning, it's not a good idea an hair transplant at this stage

I tried Propecia and Rogaine , but I quit after terrible sheds. I don't think I have the guts to go through sheds like that again, which is why I'm considering a hair transplant.
