If I get a hair transplant but develop senile alopecia many decades from now, when I’m in my 70s or so, will it be a problem?
If you develop senile alopecia when you are much older, if your doctor produced a Master Plan (http://www.newhair.com/treatment/fut-nhi-master-plan.asp) for you, this should not be a problem. The doctor would have accounted for such a process in the plan, provided that he performed follicular unit transplants in a pattern that would give consideration to such a change.
Transplanted grafts will mimic the changes in the donor area, so if the donor area lost 30% of the hair, then the hair transplants will lose 30% of the hair in the grafts. Unfortunately, there are not statistics on this available, but this conclusion is based upon years of observations that I have made.
