Some advise against a transplant due to the extent of hair loss and the cost, while others share different views on the effectiveness of transplants and non-surgical options.

      A 35-year-old man had a hair transplant in 2019 but experienced further hair loss due to not using finasteride or minoxidil. Many suggest shaving his head or considering a hair system, as his donor area is depleted and further transplants may not be viable.
