A transplant consultation can start with a question: which kind of thinning needs treatment?
Ask about the donor area
Transplantation may suit some women with female pattern hair loss. AAD cautions that thinning across the entire scalp can leave too little healthy donor hair. Ask whether your pattern allows surgery. [2]
Candidates need enough healthy scalp hair to move and an area able to grow it. A scalp exam, sometimes blood tests or biopsy, informs that assessment. Fuller coverage may be possible; your former density may not be. [3]
Plan beyond the operation
AAD notes that thinning can continue after transplantation, so medication may be recommended. Ask about expected coverage, ongoing treatment and follow-up before committing. [3]
