    TLDR Hair transplant surgery can successfully treat hair loss at the back of the neck.
    The document from 2018 detailed a successful case of hair transplantation into the nape of the neck in a 39-year-old male patient suffering from scarring alopecia due to acne keloidalis nuchae. The patient had been symptom-free for 2 years prior to the procedure. The surgery involved transplanting 700 grafts from the occipital donor area using manual follicular unit extraction (FUE) and implanting them into the affected areas at the nape. The patient showed natural-looking results 6 months post-operation. The study concluded that hair restoration surgery, particularly FUE, is a viable option for patients with alopecia in the nape area, as it allows the selection of 1 and 2 hair FUE grafts without the formation of scars in these susceptible individuals.
