    surgical procedure moving hair follicles to balding areas

    A hair transplant, also known as hair transplantation surgery or surgical hair restoration, is a medical procedure where hair follicles are moved from a part of the body with dense hair growth (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to a bald or thinning area. This procedure is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness and involves techniques such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to ensure natural-looking results.

Some users believe the user's hair appears stabilized, while others suggest surgery or patience, and one mentions heart issues as a reason for not using minoxidil.

      A 22-year-old male has been treating hair loss for over three years with various methods including minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, and other treatments, but continues to experience hair thinning. Despite trying multiple treatments and consulting with dermatologists and hair surgeons, the individual is frustrated with the ongoing hair loss and lack of progress.
