Can A Hair Transplant Completely Replace My Lost Hair?

Q: Can a hair transplant make me look exactly the way I did before I lost my hair?

A: Actually, the answer is no. All Surgical Hair Transplantation procedures move hair – they cannot create new hair. Specifically, surgical hair transplantation takes existing hair from the donor area (located in the backside and on the sides of the scalp) and moves (transplants) them to the part of the scalp that has lost hair. It is usually the case that there is not enough hair in one’s donor area to replace all lost hair. That said, in persons with extensive hair loss, the restoration can often produce a dramatic improvement in one’s appearance.
