Is there a minimum age for hair loss surgery?
Hi there,
Male pattern baldness affects many people pretty early on in life. Some guys face this problem in very young age. The minimum age for potential transplant patients is considered as 21 or 25 by most transplant surgeons. Doctors have to ensure all the pros and cons related to the surgery on your body, before this surgery.
I have recently treated the similar problem by Dr. Cole Forhair clinic which worked quite well. I would recommend you to first find the actual cause and then recommend a line of treatment.
Since hair loss does not place age restrictions on who it hits, there is no limit on when you can begin treating it. Patients actually range from 21-80 years old. If you are noticing hair loss at a young age, you are encouraged to address it sooner than later. Getting a head start, while you still have quite a bit of naturally growing hair, will help your surgeon more successfully cover the work while newly transplanted hair gradually grows in. What’s more, there’s really no reason to wait to treat your hair loss, since it’s not a condition that just stops at any certain age. It’s an ongoing process around which your surgical restoration can be customized. Hair loss surgery helps you stay ahead of your hairline.
