I fell against an open fire surround when a child. I suffered a bald area 3 inches wide by 2 inches long. 15 years ago I had an expander inserted and about 90 percent of the bald spot was removed. This was okay but now my hair is thinning around the scar area.
I am female over 55 and am very conscious of this as I am very limited in my hairstyles. As the thinning area would hopefully now have enough blood supply from the ajoining hair, would I be able to have transplants inserted into the thinning area?
Also, how do I find a good surgeon in the Northern Ireland area. Thanks
Each case is unique, so there’s no way I could know if you’re a candidate for transplantation without an examination. I could evaluate you, but from Ireland it would be difficult. Look to the ISHRS for doctor recommendations in Ireland.
Dr. Bessam Farjo is one a contributor to this site and is based in the UK, so it may be worth a trip to have him evaluate you.
