If a hair taken from the lower back of your head is transplanted successfully to the top of your head, it can be permanent. This is because the genetic make-up of the hairs lower on your head are different than the ones you’ve lost – they are genetically programmed to not fall out. Since these hairs retain their genetic instructions after they’ve been transplanted to another location on your head, the results of hair transplantation with Dr. Mandraccia are permanent.
