Yes. Generally, baldness begins in the front and moves to the center of the head. If you go in for hair transplant at the onset, then in future, when there is baldness at the center, you can get operated for that area alone.

Hair transplant or any other operations or medication given before or after the surgery neither neither arrest hair loss nor increase hair growth. All these surgeries only improve the appearance.

In many patients drugs like Minoxidil can halt the progress of Baldness to some extent. This is however not true for all the patients. A lot of propaganda is done for herbs, oils etc., but herbal medicine or oil that arrests baldness forever is yet to be discovered. As stated earlier baldness is a genetics related problem. However, according to an experimental study conducted recently, gene therapy will prove effective in curing baldness.
