Answer:
Three major methods of transplanting hair to bald areas of the scalp:
1) Composite hair bearing scalp flaps
a) Punch
i) round
ii) square
b) Strip grafts
2) Scalp flaps
a) Rotation
b) transposition
i) temporo-parieto-occipital flaps
ii) lateral scalp flaps
iii) temporal vertical flaps
c) bipedicled flaps
d) multiple flaps
e) microvascular free flaps
3) Scalp reduction
a) fractional excision of alopecia
b) excision of alopecia with the aid of scalp expanders
Depending of the age of the patient, he may need further transplants as his baldness increases.
The total plan will cost thousands of dollars.
If we use punch grafts, the procedure will be done in the office. On average 50-75 punches will be taken per session. At least 4 months or more will elapse between sessions. Hence I would expect the whole procedure to take about 1 year.
