Frontal hairline recession the most common hair loss pattern

Frontal hairline recession, the most common hair loss pattern, may result in a loss of between 2,000 and 18,000 hairs. Restoring enough hair to replace what’s been lost is relatively easy in these cases Surgeons see less successful results from the standpoint of meeting the patient’s expectations when they have considerably fewer grafts to work with.

Although the artistic distribution of 8,000 hairs (4,000 grafts) may produce the illusion of fullness, it’s a far greater (if not impossible) challenge to create enough fullness to meet any reasonable expectations of the patient if only 2,000 hairs (1,000 grafts) are available.

Planning for Possible Future Hair Loss

Unfortunately, hair loss doesn’t stop just because you’ve had a transplant, so any reconstruction work must take into account what may happen down the road. Your surgeon should develop a master plan to cover any future hair loss; the plan may include drugs like Propecia that slow or stop hair loss. Any master plan should address the following questions:

What’s the worst-case scenario for hair loss in your lifetime? The master plan should include short-term and long-term solutions. Hopefully, the worst-case plan will never be realized, but it’s critical to include this possibility in your understanding of your procedure.
Will there be enough donor hair to replace future hair loss? If the surgeon doesn’t leave enough hair for the worst-case scenario, then sooner or later you’ll be up the creek without a paddle and without hair, either.
Will you be able to afford all that’s necessary in the future? The doctor’s honest description of possible future needs is crucial to your making an informed, smart decision.
Are you fully informed about every aspect of the reconstruction process? We often joke with our patients about changing our clinic’s name to The No-Surprises Institute for Hair Reconstruction. Men don’t like surprises, and few things frighten them more than surprises in cost or in the achieved results. You shouldn’t be caught unawares in any aspect of your hair transplant or future treatments.
