Question 1

is there synthetic hair transplant or nutural hair transplant  but not from my head?

Accepted Answer

Not aware: most hair transplant will use your own hair. Synthetic hair will no grow hence it will be fixed.

Question 2

curious as to why can't we use body hair to transplant on head?

Accepted Answer

Different growth: Body hair can be transplanted to the head, but it grows to a different length and may not look like the scalp hair when it grow out.

Question 3

i have lost most of the hair on my head.i want to know about hair transplant.expense and side effect if any?

Accepted Answer

Shop around: You can bargain with most of them. Hair trans is a routine procedure with occasional complications such as infection. Many men discover that they look cool with a shaven scalp. Many look good with a short beard. You can always shave off a beard, but once you invest time and money on a transplant it is gone forever.

Question 4

i had hair transplant (fue) 26 days before and still have numbness on middle area of my head. is it normal and will recover?

Accepted Answer

Recovery: Recovery time for numbness after follicular unit extraction(FUE) is typically 2-3 months, but in some cases the numbness may persist.

Question 5

i had hair transplant last 5 days but still have numbness on my head. is it caused by overdose anesthesia and can it recover?

Accepted Answer

Cut nerve: In harvesting a strip of skin (and slicing it up for transplant) the nerves that innervate the scalp can be cut.  They may re grow at a rate of 1mm per day, so it may take several months to know if you will regain full sensation in the area.

Question 6

my mom, 1sis & i have had progressive hair loss in last 10-15yrs on top, crown & sides of head. are we 3 females good candidates for hair transplants?

Accepted Answer

Check hormones first: Before you contemplate any costly interventions better if have a hormonal evaluation by dermatologist or endocrionogist to look into any possible medical causes of hair loss (such as thyroid, testosterone, iron, etc). Good luck.

Question 7

can hair transplant surgery restore a full head of hair to someone who is completely bald , ?

Accepted Answer

No.: There need to be healthy hair grafts (usually at the back of the head) to transplant. A completely bald person has no such source.

Question 8

29 female having sever hair loss all over my head (not localized loss) so how to transplant hair? what about biofiber hair transplant? does it reject?

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: Nothing can be said until you are evaluated by a skin specialist. Some even specialize in hair loss and are considered alopecia specialists.

Question 9

my mom, 1sis and i have progressive hair loss on top, crown & sides of head. will hair transplants help and remain? approx. total cost, not per graft?

Accepted Answer

Mac,: Try a dermatologist first. If you have high dht, you will benefit from finasteride.  If testosterone high normal, spironolactone.  Last, minoxidil.

Question 10

is eye transplant possible for blindness due to head trauma or eye injury?

Accepted Answer

Not quite yet...: We're getting better but if the brain's visual centers are damaged or the optic nerve is destroyed there currently is no method for repair.  If the injury is limited to the retina only - the possibility of a retinal implant theoretically exists.  We've still got a long wait for this capability.
