Am I Too Young For A Hair Transplant? | Dr. Glenn Charles Boca Raton Fl.

[John P. Cole, MD]

i would suggest that if your hair loss is minimal at age 24, consider a hair transplant.

if your hair loss involves the front and vertex significantly, at age 24 avoid a hair transplant.

if your hair loss is significant in the front or the back without involving both at age 24, exercise caution with regard to beginning a hair transplant and error on the side of doing nothing what so ever.

of course none of these generalities cover all possible scenarios. those with better donor areas have a better chance over time.

consider this. if you have more bricks to begin with, you can build a bigger house. if the quality of your bricks is better, you can build a bigger house. However, if the number or quality of your bricks is limited, don't start building a house you can never complete.

The bottom line is be smart! The chances are that your hair transplant surgeon will not have your best interest long term in mind. Remember that he is guided by his bank account and not your long term interest in mind. Let the buyer be ware!
