I’m Planning a Hair Transplant to Treat My Norwood Class 1 or 2 Pattern

I am 25 years old and have a receding hair line and am planning to undergo a hair transplant. I think it is class 1 or class 2 baldness currently. If I undergo a hair transplant and get my hairline fixed, is there a chance of thinning of my hair in the crown area while the hairline being intact. If so, what are the alternative procedures to prevent thinning of the crown after getting my hair line fixed with the hair transplant.

Progressive hair loss is a real problem. I am not in favor of surgery on Norwood class 1 or 2 pattern men in the early or mid-20s. I don’t know enough about your hair loss history to have any idea if you’ll eventually thin in the crown.

You have to be careful not to get into a situation where you’re using your valuable donor hair for a quick hairline fix, when you don’t know how your hair loss may progress down the line. You may need those grafts later to fill out your hair. Hopefully your surgeon will discuss this with you further.

Young men on finasteride (Propecia) can often slow down the hair loss or even stop it. That’s something else you should talk to your doctor about.
