When there is a large area of baldness, is it possible to cover the entire bald area?

This depends on the size of the bald area as well as on the donor area.

When there is extensive baldness, it is better to place the donor hair artistically in a pattern to give the maximum coverage. In specific instances, various approaches using a combination of FUHT, FUSE and body hair to scalp transplants have been performed to cover extensive baldness.
A combination of the different methods ensures that a larger number of follicular unit grafts are available to cover large bald patches.
Please refer to our patient photogallery and our blog for the different approaches followed in various patients.
In case the patient wishes to utilize only FUHT, and has extensive hairloss, it iss advisable to go for an aesthetically pleasing, yet, conservative hair restoration. I
ndividual patients who have followed such an approach are also listed in the photogallery section of our site as well as on the blog.
