Question: I'm very interested in getting a hair transplant, but before I get my hopes up, there was one things that I wanted to know. I have a friend who once made a remark about my ?tight scalp' and I've always wondered about it. Have you ever, or is it possible, for someone to be turned down from getting a transplant because their scalp is too tight?

Answer: This is by no mean an absolute contraindication for surgery. Some people simply have a tighter scalp than others, which may restrict or limit the number of grafts that are able to be obtained in a procedure.
