The young patient (or those not extensively bald) (Hair Transplant)

posted by BostonBaldy, 31.07.2007, 21:28

Hello,

I still disagree. Mapping miniturization is especially important because hair loss is not evident until at least 50% or more hairs have fallen out. I have personally found this extremely valuable in assessing my own hair loss. And family history is vital because, although complex, androgenetic alopecia is genetic, as you well know. Of course, just because there is no miniturization and no family history does not mean hair loss will not occur. But I would wager it is much less likely.

However, you and I do agree that it is important to be very, very conservative when it comes to hair transplantation. Just because there is very little hair loss and no family history of hair loss does not justify very low hairlines or thick densities. But that is the point of my original question: was this young man mapped for miniturization and if so what was the extent?

Thank you for taking the time to answer questions in this forum!

Best,
BB
