Bill - Seemiller Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 IAGBSM, Since incisions are made in the recipient area, there is a chance that scarring will be seen if in the event of some strange rare anomaly, all the transplanted hair and fell out along with the natural hair. The chances of visible scarring increases when incision sizes increase - especially if signs of cobblestoning or pitting exists. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Vasilius Posted November 25, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2008 IAGSM, The vast majority of patients never lose the hair that was transplanted. Google "donor dominance" and you'll find several sites that thoroughly explain why transplanted hair follicles remain while the native hair follicles around them do not. Keep in mind though, that hair transplanted into an area with a fair amount of native (non-transplanted) hair will appear thin once the native hair sheds or miniaturizes as baldness progresses, so a subsequent transplant may be needed to improve density or cover new areas of baldness. Rogaine/Propecia can slow this process down, especially in the back (vertex) of the head. Good luck~ AF1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
