Even when the hair loss pattern has become better known some clinics make the mistake of transplanting thin coverage all over the top of the head which looks ridiculous when the lateral humps drop. You can have thin coverage you just cannot have it in the lateral hump area. That area needs to have enough density so that it is not see through up until the point where it meets the bridge on top of the head and the hair direction changes connecting both sides. Regardless of if that bridge of hair still exists or not it has to reach that point. Once that is accomplished then coverage with the balance of donor should proceed. Ideally in the reverse pattern of the balding process. Fill in the bridge, frontal forelock, hairline, temple area then finally the crown. If you work the pattern the other way around and you don t have enough donor you will have planned inappropriately and have been ill-advised. Of course, this is my personal opinion.
Honest clinics will advise on the use of medications being necessary or planning as best as possible around your future hair loss pattern so that you don't start planting into the temple or hairline area if your sides are going to drastically drop.
If your sides do not drop you are a much better candidate for a hair transplant.
