Signs of Depression

Science has linked strong mom-and-baby bonds to smarter, healthier and happier children. Turns out, nature — our DNA — alone might not guarantee these coveted characteristics.

Hello, My hair started thinning approximately 2 years ago. I take Propecia (finasteride) which has helped, but I am conscious of the hair loss I am experiencing at the front of my head. Is it possible to have a hair transplant while still having a considerable amount of hair left?  Many thanks.

Yes, it is possible to have a surgery in the frontal area of your balding scalp even if you have a good amount of remaining hair. 

A qualified hair restoration physician will have to take into consideration factors such as:

• Your age
• Your current level of balding
• Whether or not you are taking any nonsurgical treatments to prevent further baldness such as Propecia (finasteride) or Rogaine (minoxidil)
• How many follicular unit grafts you will need in a single hair replacement session
• Working with you to formulate a long term strategy in the event you lose more hair. 

Developing a long term hair restoration plan is highly critical as hair loss is unpredictable and progressive.  Propecia and Rogaine may not work forever, which means subsequent surgical procedures may be necessary.

I recommend consulting with at least 3 high quality hair transplant surgeons and using our hair loss forum as a tool to see what their patients are saying.
