I’m 27 years old and I have been dealing with hair loss for the past 5 years. I would say that I am a Norwood 3, or at least close to it. I am very interested in undergoing a hair transplant surgery, but I wear my hair fairly short and know that I will be left with a scar. I know with FUE that the scars are very small and spread out all over the back of my head so they shouldn’t be too noticeable, but I have two problems going in this
direction.
The first problem is the cost, it seems that FUE is considerably more expensive than a “regular” hair transplant. The second is what I am reading about the yield of the hair grafts. Is it true that FUE does not grow as consistently well as strip grafts? I would try to find the extra money to have this done using FUE if I was certain that I was making the right choice.
Please give me your honest opinion of what you think is best for my situation. By the way, your websites are the best that I have come across, so I hold your opinion in very high regard. Thank you.
