Senior Member ScottishGuy Posted December 28, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm not a diffuse thinner so I can only answer based on what I've read elsewhere. If your hair is as weak as you say, then there is a higher chance it will suffer from 'shock' and won't return after surgery. Hopefully some diffuse thinners can answer with their experience. Note that if you do suffer permanent shock loss of this type, then it usually means the hair was on its last legs anyway. One way to reduce the risk of shock loss is to take finasteride for at least a few months before surgery - this should strengthen the hair. The other important factor is to go to a highly recommended surgeon. Proper surgical technique is essential to minimise the risk to existing hair.

scotster76 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 thanks for the reply...would really appreciate it if any other diffuse thinners who have had HT give me some advice or if anyone can post a link to before and after shots of a diffuse thinner. it worries me to think that my native weak hair in hairline would not return which would look odd having transplanted hairs amoungst this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member dakota3 Posted December 28, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2009 I am a diffuse thinner and I can attest to what ScottishGuy says. You do have a higher chance of shock loss if you are transplanting between native hair, but some doctors here have had alot of success transplanting into diffuse thinners. As a diffuse thinner however your chances of becoming a NW6 or 7 can be higher so keep that in mind when thinking about a HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member princyluks Posted December 28, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted December 28, 2009 Even I am a diffuse thinner and considering a hair transplant, i am far more worried of shockloss now, i am on finasteride but still when i take head bath some hairs easily fall off.
