Hair transplantation is a relatively simple operation that can do wonders for people who suffer from hair loss-whether it is hereditary, due to an illness or accident. Getting a full head of hair often provides the confidence that allows people to feel better about their appearance. Below, Dr. Michael Reed answers some common questions about this procedure.

Why have a hair transplant?

Men get hair transplants to achieve a more or less permanent correction of hair loss in order to restore a more youthful self-image and improve self-esteem.

Who can get a transplant?

Any person with noticeable hair loss-including thinning hair and bald areas-and whose remaining hair is capable of growing in a transplanted location (called a donor-dominant condition), is a candidate for hair transplantation. A donor-dominant condition is one in which transplanted hairs are able to survive at a new location, and will live and produce hairs as they would have in their previous location.

The most common condition treated is so-called male-and female-pattern androgenic alopecia (hereditary hair loss). However, other conditions such as scarring disorders resulting from injury, diseases, or previous surgery of the scalp, can also be treated with hair transplantation.
