At the time, Brady was at the pinnacle of football style and fashion. However, several journalists and fans took notice of his receding hairline. Brady was the poster boy for the NFL and he needed to look good.

According to reports, "TB12" underwent a hair transplant in 2005 and went completely bald for the procedure. While the player never admitted to undergoing the process, he was surprisingly spotted with thick and healthy hair in 2007, with no more signs of balding.

It raised eyebrows and multiple reports claimed that Brady opted for a FUE hair transplant technique to combat his hair loss. Many believe that the football star chose this method because he did not have a scar or an incision from the transplant.

Moreover, with the FUE hair transplant, clients find that their hair grows back remarkably after six months. The completion of the treatment is between 12 to 18 months, which was similar to the time frame when Brady made his comeback from baldness.

Interestingly, Brady also never appeared to suffer from hair loss again.
