Occipital Thinning
Description
Occipital thinning, also known as donor site thinning or back-of-scalp hair loss, refers to a decrease in hair density at the back of the scalp—the area typically used as the "donor zone" for hair transplant procedures. Unlike other forms of hair loss, such as male or female pattern baldness, occipital thinning specifically affects the region that usually boasts the fullest and most resilient hair. When density in this donor area is reduced, it can compromise the success and planning of hair restoration treatments by limiting the supply of healthy follicles for transplantation. Occipital density loss may appear as visible scalp, patchy hair, or overall sparser growth, and is sometimes called diffuse unpatterned alopecia when it affects the entire scalp. Identifying and managing occipital thinning is crucial for anyone considering hair transplant surgery, as both the quality and quantity of donor hair directly impact natural-looking, satisfying outcomes.
