Transplant on thinning hair vs bald area

Hello 

I want to get your thoughts on getting hair transplant on balding areas versus fully bald areas .. does transplant on balding areas or thinner areas cause shock loss and not recommended ? What is some of your experiences.

 

thanks

shock loss is usually temporary. but if the affected area is very weak, it's possible that they will be lost, either due to transection on the implantation, or permanent shock loss.

imo it's best on fully bald area unless the balding one is already scarce, as your surgeon can easily pick sparse area to incise since it's kind of barren, minimizing the risk. risk is still there, but it's easier. you can also get a better doc to work on you, as docs who does dense pack or successful 2nd go over means they have good technique.
