I Have a Shunt in My Head – Can I Have a Hair Transplant? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

I have a VP shunt that drains spinal fluid from my head to my stomach due to a blockage in my spinal column. Could I still get a hair transplant ?

Yes. In fact, we recently had a patient who had a VP shunt and had a hair transplant. Your doctor should be highly qualified and must have experience in such a matter. You would likely require a CT scan or an X-ray to confirm where the shunt traverses so that it is not damaged during the surgery.
