Hello

[John P. Cole, MD]

When you start losing your hair at age 18, it usually means you are going to have an advanced degree of hair loss. If this is the case, you will probably not have the donor area to maintain your hair as you mature. Therefore, consider very carefully before you have a hair transplant. Make sure any physician you might consider is honest and ethical because too many will just tell you, ok, and give you a hair transplant that might not be in your best interest. One always has to evaluate the donor area, the hair diameter, the family history of hair loss, and the potential for future hair loss before offering a hair transplant.
