Re: Dr. Farjo's proposed age limit fot HT's...

Dr. Farjo is right! To a point… This is the reason why I have held back on getting a hair transplant. As a 23 year old i am worried that the short term fix will look great at first, but i know eventually i will loose much more hair in the years to come. To me the idea of being bald sounds a lot better that having random patches of hair on my scalp. I applaud doctors like these who warn those of this possible and most likely outcome, but i do not believe there should be an age limit. I believe it should be undoubtedly the patient’s or doctor’s choice to go forth with the procedure. No restrictions. Only warning of the possible outcome is necessary.

I have to agree that Dr Farjo has made a very good call here. I'm 30 and whilst I have receded, the hair loss is minimal. I've visited a couple of clinics who literally couldn't get their scalpel out quick enough! It's important to know that there are other options in the early stages and that when it comes to surgery, it's better to wait until the full extent of your hair loss is apparent... and to find a reputable surgeon.
