I’m a Class 2 Right Now, But What If I Have Surgery and The Loss Progresses? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

I am 31 years old, and have Stage 2 hair loss. It’s not major yet. I am missing maybe one inch on each side.

My question, if I get a hair transplant – and fix those two small spots, what happens if my hair recedes further? Won’t it look horrible to have two spots of hair up front and continual loss behind it? how is this situation remedied without further surgery?

Again, I’m stage 2 – not bad at all, maybe an inch pushed back so far. Thank you!

This is why a Master Plan is needed before you have your hair transplant surgery, so you can build a plan with your doctor about how to address a worst case scenario of further progression of your hair loss.

I will usually recommend that my male patients stay on finasteride to help prevent the loss from continuing (or at least slowing it down considerably), but ultimately, progression of the hair loss is a risk and probably a reality for balding men sooner or later.
