Hair Loss After Significant Weight Loss

Am from India.... i have lost my hair( infront side of head)  due to sudden hair fall. The backround is like i have not taken the proper foods 8months back to reduce  my weight. I had reduced my body weight but i have lost my hair... Hence please let me know  what is prodcedure for the hair transplant.

I usually recommend that after sudden hair loss due to some type of shock to the system i.e weight loss or dietary changes  that the patient wait a good 12 months before undergoing any type of hair transplant procedure.   During this time, it is best to take nutritional supplements like biotin, use minoxidil, and consider laser light therapy.
