Hi - A question for the veterans,

I am Norwood 3A. Frontal density is around
20-40 hair per sq cm. That is, it generally
looks full, but after a shower and when
groomed looks quite thin and the scalp can
be seen through. Also, I am Asian so probably
have medium coarse hair.

I am thinking a transplant (1500 -2K grafts ) which will add density to the frontal region and to the hairline.

Questions:

1.) Since I have some density in the frontal region, some doctors tell me the shock loss
will be high and could outweigh the benefits
of a transplant.

As I think on this, it implies that no one
with existsing hair should be thinking of
adding density because of significant
shock loss ? 20-40 hair per sq cm is almost
considered bald!

Is there any good study on shock loss and
how could it be reduced, what percentage is
reversible. And at what existing density does
it start making sense to add density?

Other dosctors have told me not to worry about shock loss. All my opinions are from the top in
the field

Thanks,
Sean
