I’m 19 and Want A Nice Hairline Now with Hair Transplants
Hi Doctor Rassman and Staff, thank you for this informative blog. I am 19 years old and I was wondering if you guys would consider filling in temples and creating a lower hairline for a person my age. I know you say you do not do this because of future balding, but I would rather have this done so I can have a few years with a nice hairline, than have no years at all. I am in college and I am forced to wear my hair long and for the most part no one realizes I am starting to bald. I just want to be able to have a short hair style again.
Thank You
Before I could give you an opinion, I would need to see you and probably even meet you. I would then be able to determine if you are just experiencing a maturing hairline, which would be likely at your age, or actually have male pattern baldness. There is no substitute for an in-person examination, and over the internet does not meet my needs as a doctor. Some of the doctors in this business would want to rush you into the surgery even if you are just evolving into a maturing hairline. Any doctor too enthusiastic about performing a surgery on you might not be honorable.
Whoever you take on as your doctor, make sure that they are not just doing it to make a buck. Think long term! The great majority of 19 year olds aren’t candidates for a hair transplant because most are experiencing changes of the maturing hiarline, and there are dishonest doctors who will prey upon someone with cash in hand… like you, who may not want to accept the maturing hairline. A young man with a maturing hairline can cut his hair short, so first find out what is going on with you before you jump into a life time of hair transplants chasing what you may never catch (your 13 year old hairline).
