If you’ve suffered from hairloss you’re probably a lot like me. You’ve tried all the lotions and potions and pills and who knows maybe you’ve had some success. You might have grown some hair back or stopped the rest from falling out. The problem is that none of these topical (you rub into your head) treatments or pill based hairloss treatments can really cure the problem of extensive hairloss. The only solution to that is hair transplant surgery – the only permanent solution.

Now here’s the thing. A lot of men tend to lose hair through male pattern baldness pretty early on in life. For some guys it can be as young as 16 or 17. This can devastate your early years – it had a very deep effect on me until I was about 24 so I totally get where the stress of hairloss comes from and what it feels like. For some men hairloss happens much later in life – not until their 30s or 40s.

So you’ve looked at all the options and you’ve decided on having a hair transplant for permanent results. Good for you! The next thing is to know whether or not a hair transplant is right for you.

Right in what way?

Well usually transplant surgeons have a minimum age of 21 or 25 for potential transplant patients. This isn’t some legal thing. Nope. It’s to make sure that your hairloss pattern properly defines itself so they can see where future hairloss might happen or when your hairloss has stopped completely and you’ve fallen into one of the Norwood scales already.

Why do transplant surgeons do this?

Well it’s to make sure that your hair transplant looks as natural as possible. If you got a hair transplant when you were a Norwood 2 and then your hairloss suddenly got worse and you became a Norwood 5 you could be left with an “island” of hair on your head with bald scalp around it. This isn’t going to look natural at all.

It’s also the last thing a hair transplant surgeon wants to happen to you because it’s really, really bad advertising for him. So if you find that a surgeon doesn’t want to transplant hair straight away make sure to ask him why. Usually the reason is that your problem just hasn’t become defined enough yet to be treated properly.

So what is the ideal age for a hair transplant? The honest answer is there isn’t one. Ideally nobody would be having cosmetic surgery under the age of 21. For most men your actual final hairloss pattern probably won’t be established for a few years after you begin losing your hair. So what you need to consider here is not necessarily your age – it’s how advanced your hairloss is.

So yes unfortunately sometimes you’ll need to just shave your head and wait for your hairloss pattern to emerge. Once that happens a reliable hair transplant surgeon can look at your donor hair and help you make the best possible decisions in relation to your hair transplant so that you have the most coverage and the best possible cosmetic results.
