My brother lost his hair in his early 20's and he got an hair transplant. His is now completely bald and tells me that the hair transplant was a big mistake becuase now that he is bald he would like to shave his head but can't becuase his scar in the back would show. Now I don't mean to say that hair transplant are always a bad idea, but for him it was very bad. I can't imagine that he had an incomptent doctor due to the fact that our Father is a Derm and deals regularly with this sh*t, but perhaps his hair loss was so rapid that it just didn't work out in the end, or perhaps in 1991-2 when he got his hair transplants were not as good as they are now. I don't know. All I know is that he shaves the transplanted hairs on the top of his head everyday because they look like transplanted hairs. Take it for what it is worth.
