Is Hair Replacement Surgery for You?

If you have thinning hair, whether you're a man or a woman, you may be considering "doing something about it" by taking some action. The first step is to explore all the available options and educate yourself about hair loss.

Hair loss can have different causes. And there are different solutions. If you're a woman, investigate all the potential causes. It's the same for men. You may want to visit your family physician—who may diagnose a medical condition. Thinning hair isn't always a hereditary issue.

If the condition is not caused by a treatable medical condition, then many men and women are simply happy to leave their thinning hair "as is" and accept how their looks are changing. Many men, including celebrities and sports stars, are completely happy and confident with the "shaved head" look.

However, if you'd like a "non bald" look there are several surgical and non-surgical options. The non-surgical options include low-level laser light therapy and certain medications. The surgical options include hair replacement surgery.

To decide if surgery is for you, you can speak with others who have had the procedure. You can also ask the hair replacement surgeon about the options. There's a cost for hair replacement surgery so that's a consideration. It's also important to consider the possible benefits of the options available for people with thinning hair.

Restoring hair to its previous look can provide significant and major benefits for a person's personal and professional life.

If your hair is thinning and you're thinking of doing something about it, then answer these questions:

  • How important to me is a full head of hair?
  • What are the benefits to me, personally and professionally?
  • Have I considered all the options?
  • What's my budget?

Some people are better candidates for hair replacement surgery than others. A lot depends on the donor site and current donor hair.
