Bernstein M.D. http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/dev/newblog/228/why-havent-you-had-a-hair-transplant/ Q: Dr. Bernstein, why have you not had a hair transplant? I’m sure this question gets asked a lot. Thanks.

A: Yes, all the time.

My donor area is very thin (so I am not a good candidate) and I have gotten used to being bald. It has been years.

Bernstein M.D. http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/dev/newblog/32/how-to-address-minimal-donor-hair-with-fue/ Q: If someone doesn’t have enough donor hair, do you ever perform a hair transplant using FUE, using donor hair from outside the permanent hair zone?

A: No.

If hair was taken from outside the permanent zone as the surrounding hair continued to bald, the scars from FUE, although small, would become visible.

In addition, the transplanted hair would not be permanent, and over time would eventually fall out.
