One other thing.
The ability to minimize or avoid altogether shock hair loss (whether of the scalp or the eyebrows) is due to several steps, including not placing an excessive amount of grafts, making all recipient sites parallel to existing hairs, and using the very smallest recipient sites. It is only with an experienced hand guided by sound judgement can these steps be accomplished.

Jeffrey Epstein, MD, FACS

Dr. Epstein, Thank you for the reassurance about shock loss. As much as I would rather think about the benefits,I obviously want to make a decision with my eyes wide open to the risks, too.

Its great to see so many women out here.I am a 27 year old woman..yeah 27..n my hairs thinned out on the top part of my head.I am planning a hair transplant in a month from now with a reputed dr from miami .If there is ne woman who can help answer my questions it would be great!u know how apprehensive one can get.so plz girls i would appreciate it.I have a general idea abt the transplant .But DOES IT WORK FOR WOMEN?the doctor I chose has great reputation and so does his staff but at the end of the day its all abt the HAIR.

Soniya,

Welcome to our forum community.

Firstly, I'd suggest that you create your own thread by clicking "New" and "discussion" above. This way you will get more responses.

Hair transplantation can work for women however, there often times a different approach must be taken depending on the type of hair loss you are experiencing and for what reason. There are a number of female hair transplant results posted in the "hair transplant patient photo albums" section as well. I'd recommend viewing some of those as well.

Best wishes,

Falc

Thank you very much Falceros!
