Is a Shaved Head Necessary?
No, but it can help.
Ryan wanted to provide Dr. Bolton with the best possible environment for his hair transplant procedure.
Although shaving the head is not required, having less hair in the treatment area can help accelerate surgery time and provide easier access during the procedure.
Most patients choose not to shave their heads, but Ryan selected this option to optimize his procedure experience.
