you will end up looking pretty stupid with uneven patches on your scalp

There is no doubt that having a hair transplant is a good way to deal with a severe case of male pattern baldness however the key to a good hair transplant is professional and honest advice and those men who don't get this could end up looking worse than they did when they were losing their hair.

Since the Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney underwent a hair transplant operation thousands of men in their twenties and thirties have made inquiries about doing the same thing. However it should be remembered that hair transplant surgery is not something which should be undertaken lightly.

If you are losing your hair quite drastically and you are under 25 the chances are by the time you are 30 you will be completely bald and therefore you will have to carry on having hair transplant surgery by removing hair from the side of your head and covering the crown. The problem however could be that you don't have enough hair on the side of your head to cover the top part and therefore you will end up looking pretty stupid with uneven patches on your scalp.

You need to consider whether the hair on the side of your head is thick enough to sustain not just one hair transplant operation but whether you are able to have subsequent operations to counteract future balding.

An honest and ethical hair transplant surgeon loss surgeon should warn you about the future risks and also talk about trying to preserve the existing hair that you have with the use of hair loss medications such as Propecia.

When hair is transplanted from the side of the head to the top these individual transplanted hair follicles will not fall out but the existing hair on the top of the head will continue to fall out.  This means that you have two types of hair on your head which are falling out of different rates thus leaving you with the possibility of hair patches and bald patches. 

A hair transplant surgeon who does not warn you about all of the side effects and possible complications of hair transplant surgery should be avoided. The same also would apply to a surgeon who did not ask you whether you had tried alternative methods of dealing with male pattern baldness.
