Yes and it should be done that way. In the human body, each follicle is connected to a vein. Just like the veins that feed the muscles gain volume while developing muscle and disappear when the muscle volume is lost; as the hair follicles disappear, the veins feeding the hair follicles also decrease. For this reason, it is possible for the transplanted grafts to die before meeting the blood vessels, especially in type 6 and type 7 patients. The most advantageous group in hair transplantation is the people who have the operation without losing their hair completely.
