Hair Transplants Effective for My Hair Type?Posted by doctorhasson on September 1st, 2009

I am located in —, USA. I was born in India. Is a hair transplant suitable for my hair type? I have been experiencing gradual hair loss since my college days. My hair loss spreads from top section to back. I still have a little bit hair in that section also, but people can notice significant hair loss from top. I can still cover it up with hair from sides. Will propecia help stop hair loss? What is the best course of action that you can suggest? — J.K.

Dear J.K. If you are asking if a hair transplant is suitable for Indian men, then yes, a hair transplant is suitable for your hair type. The main concerns, regardless of your nationality, will always be the size of the area that needs to be covered and the availability of hair in the donor area. We often recommend Propecia, particularly for the mid-scalp and crown, and yes it should stop hair loss in that area. The best course of action is to submit an online consultation. We can assess whether you are a good candidate for a hair transplant, and provide a recommendation based upon the information we receive and of course photos. Be sure to follow the photo guidelines closely.
