Multiple hair transplant sessions

[sivakumarmh]

HI

 

I think this is a common question many have in mind.

 

I think i am in type 2 of Norwood scale, having receding hairline from left and right sides of forehead and extremely low or (currently)no much hair growth in top of head, hair grows only in ear sides and back of head. My hairloss is rapid, in 2-3 months a few millimeters of hairline is receding. So mostly in 1 year I will be like type 4A of norwood scale.

 

I am planning to do hair transplant in multiple sessions to cover areas when ever my hairline recedes. so currently planning to cover the type 2 Norwood bald areas and when(or if) i become like tye 4A then would like to cover it too.

 

So my question is, is it possible to have multiple transplants(5-6 sessions) when ever my hairline recedes, till I become like type 4A. As I am concerned in doing transplant in top as I may lose hair in shock loss.

 

Now my hairstyle hides my balding, if I dont act and leave till type 4A then I need to be bald for some time which I would like to prevent.

 

 

more info: I wont be able to use minoxidil as I tried couple of minoxidil based products and they give me same side effects, severe headaches etc. Unfortunately currently I have minor medical problems which could be exagerated by taking finasteride too, so wont be able to take it. I am taking some vitamin tablets which helps grow only my side and back hairs, no much effect in top and forehead.

Hi,

 

You haven't provided any photos which makes it difficult to provide you with information. You have ruled out finasteride and minoxidil which are the 2 main weapons in preventing further hairloss.

 

Currently it appears that you are 27 years of age. You need to research this website and understand that you have LIMITED donor hair to use. You are still young and by not using medications to prevent further hairloss you are at risk of number HT surgeries, subject, of course to available donor hair to use.

 

Good luck,

 

Regards

 

Rod

Thanks for your reply, will post photos shortly..

You mean number of HT surgeries above?

 

and is it normal to take 5-6 HT surgeries when ever hairline recedes in the front ?

Have you met with a doc yet? I don't really know the answer to what you are asking but I would think it may look a little strange in between surgeries. I'm picturing a a full hairline, then a thin or bald area, then full hair. You would have to wait to loose the hair, to some extent, until your next HT so you don't damage hairs that are there.

 

There is also the financial aspect since this is not inexpensive. Unless I had a nice reserve of cash this would worry me.

Are you not considering using mediciine finasteride. If you use Finasteride you will not got to 4A just in a year. If you are pretty new to the this forum then you better do lot of research before going for HT.I suggest you to consulta a doctor and get on finasteride.
