In women, hair loss usually appears not as a distinct bald patch but as diffuse thinning at the crown and a widening forehead line — so planning differs from male cases.
Common reasons for applying
- A wide forehead line, wanting the hairline brought forward
- Diffuse thinning at the crown
- Openings at the temples
- Regional hairlessness after a scar or burn
Approach
Unshaven or partly shaved techniques are usually preferred, so existing hair can cover the area after the operation.
When hair loss may be hormonal, thyroid-related or caused by iron deficiency, the cause is investigated first; hair treatments may come before a transplant.
