Prior to having surgical hair replacement, should women see their doctor?
Yes, it is generally suggested to women that they meet with their physician for a full diagnosis on the hair loss before pursuing surgery to correct it. This is because women’s hair loss is so often caused by underlying factors that would ultimately be counterproductive to surgery results. It is necessary to consult with hair loss specialists to determine the cause and attempt to stabilize it, if possible. In some cases, balding fixes itself once the cause is stabilized. If it doesn’t, surgical hair replacement can usually be pursued at this point.
