Hair transplant cost for CTTA

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Q:

Dear Doctor,

I am 14 years old and I have hair loss in form of CTTA and my parents agreed to let me get the hair transplant, but will it actually take months for my hair to grow and I need to know how much it cost for the operation please.

CTTA - Congenital Temporal Triangular AlopeciaA:

Congenital Temporal Triangular Alopecia (CTTA) is a congenital condition that is noted by parents at birth or soon after that.  CTTA could easily be treated with hair transplantation at any age.  At US Hair Restoration, we charge patients with the number of grafts and since patients with CTTA only need a small number of grafts, the cost falls into our minimum charge category. Having said that you need to have a consultation with us so we can confirm the diagnosis and make sure you are a good candidate for a hair transplant surgery.

Transplanted hair will grow in 2 to 3 months after hair restoration surgery and will become even better than that for the following months after that.  Since the location of the transplanted hair is only in the temple areas, it may not show as much since most people can easily comb their hair to cover the hair loss area.

Please feel free to call our office at 1 (888) 302-8747 and schedule your complementary consultation at one of our Southern California offices. If you are contacting from other states, you can send us an inquiry through our website and we contact you to complete your online consultation.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Dr. Parsa Mohebi

Hair Transplant for Congenital Temporal Triangular Alopecia

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

CTTA - temporal alopeciaWe just had a hair transplant surgery for a child with Congenital Temporal Triangular Alopecia (CTTA) yesterday. He had a patch of baldness since birth and it started to bother him at school recently to the degree that he could not even wait until winter break – the time his parents originally planned to get it restored. The procedure went well and we densely packed 470 follicular unit grafts onto the bald patch of his temple area. He is happy and looking forward to the final growth of the grafts in a few months.

Congenital Temporal Alopecia is a patchy hair loss condition which is generally present at birth in form of a patch of hair loss on the child’s temple. The balding patch may consist of very fine hair. This non-scarring alopecia has been reported to respond well to hair transplant surgery.
