Hair transplantation for men.

Men throughout history have suffered from various degrees of hair loss. Modern techniques for hair transplantation give rise to natural and long-lasting results. In this paper we provide an overview of the procedure, including the harvesting of donor hair in the occipital scalp, and its redistribution along the frontal- and mid-scalp areas. Special consideration must be made to choosing the candidates carefully and to performing their surgery in a manner that looks appropriate for all ages. We describe the role of medications for male pattern hair loss and with hair transplantation.
