Has anyone ever seen or known  an older gentleman, say 70+, who has had a hair transplant previously? How does it look? How do they feel about it now?

It all depends on whether you keep the same hair loss pattern or if the area expands. If you get a hair transplant when you're a NW 4 and the size of the balding area doesn't really expand over the years, then you will look fine as you get older. Your hair will thin out all over, but that's going to happen to everyone as they get old.

However if you had a NW 4 pattern that later ends up expanding to a NW 6, then you are probably going to have some issues with how it looks. You'll have the transplanted hair with bald area all around it. You could usually have a few touch-ups over the years to fill in the gaps as your bald area expands.

It depends if the hairtransplant was sucessful or not. If yes most of the veterans are happy about it and still care about their hair.

Thought I'd link to a recent case of a 65 year old who had a hair transplant by Dr Damkerng Pathomvanich. This shows what a nice improvement an older gentleman can have without trying to get with a head of hair like a 20 year old.
