See a dermatologist: Decrease stress. Eat a healthy balance diet which includes protein. Have thyroid levels and iron stores checked. See a dermatologist for evaluation and work-up. Topical Minoxidil twice a day is the only proven remedy to thicken hair. However, this treatment it is not appropriate for everyone (given the warnings, precautions, and contraindications). See and discuss options with a dermatologist.

Depends: Large volume hair restoration can be difficult if you have a donor site with poor hair quality or density. For dramatic results you may need a combination of aggressive procedures such as scalp reductions or traditional strip transplants to really achieve your goal with FUE transplants to optimize the scars and fill areas. Consult a facial plastic surgeon with expertise in hair restoration surgery
