Lebron James Hair Transplant
It was obvious that Lebron James had done something to his hair whilst watching him play basketball over the last few years. Lebron has suffered from male pattern baldness since his early to mid-20s, which is considered early for hair loss.
Experiencing male pattern baldness early, it is possible that he visited his local hair transplant clinic. With hair transplants now affordable to all, famous or not, getting a quality hair transplant isn’t as difficult as it once was.
Lebron James hair transplant before and after
The picture on the left is of Lebron following his speculated hair transplant with a full head of hair and no receding hairline. The picture on the right quite clearly illustrates a receding hairline and signs of male pattern baldness.
For someone that is constantly in the public eye and an icon that goes beyond basketball, looking good is part of the job.
Did Lebron James have a hair transplant or use a hairpiece?
It has been debated that Lebron James might use a hairpiece rather than having had a hair transplant. Hairpieces are typically very easy to spot, not to mention, Lebron running around the court without it slipping off doesn’t seem feasible.
Hair transplants leave scars of varying types depending on what surgery you opt for. An FUE hair transplant (Follicular Unit Excision) generally leaves scarring with a stipple effect due to the nature of individually removing hair follicles a millimetre in diameter. An FUT hair transplant (Follicular Unit Transplantation) involves removing a strip of the scalp containing hair follicles from a donor area and implanting it in the hair deficient area.
Factoring in the information above, it would appear that, based on the photographic evidence below, Lebron James might have had a hair transplant to his hairline and temples to thicken the areas more to his preference.
