I write against hair transplants for 22 year old men. I think long-term on everyone and no matter what you may look like at 22, your hair loss WILL get worse in the next few years because genetic hair loss in 22 year old men is progressive and often aggressively so. You had 2800 grafts, […]

I always ask my patients if they needed brain or heart surgery, would they try to find the least expensive doctor and hospital. Although hair transplants usually won’t kill you (although there have been deaths reported but they are rare in the US, Europe and Asia), what you get on your head from a hair […]
Absolutely no hair transplants before you are 25 because you will be chasing your hair loss with annual hair transplants and lots of money you might not have. Worst of all, you will be using up your donor hair without a Master Plan for your life going forward. You need to find a caring doctor who […]
Never (for a man) get a hair transplant before the age of 25 because the balding pattern does not declare itself until at least this age. You should build a Master Plan with a great doctor so that your hair transplant plans are carefully considered and reflect your specific short and long term needs.
The reason a man under 25 should not have a hair transplant is because the hair loss patterns just starts appearing by the age of 25-26. So, for example, if you recede 1/2 inch of your frontal hairline at 20, got it transplanted, then by 21 you lost another 1/2 inch behind the transplant and then […]
You should get a HAIRCHECK test to find out if there is any loss that you can’t see in the top and crown area of your head. You need to know there is the possibility that you might develop hair loss elsewhere. I call this a Master Plan which every male having a hair transplant should have. […]
The key here is to find an honorable doctor who can build a Master Plan for your short and long term future. It may not mean a hair transplant so you have to find a doctor who can tell you NOT to do a surgery so that you don’t make a mistake if it is […]
Although some hair transplant doctors offer hair transplants for diffuse thinning, I consider this an issue of malpractice because, if it is really diffuse thinning, there is little value of a hair transplant to correct this. Sometimes, a hair transplant for thinning in the frontal area can work in women. For men, it takes a […]
I would bet that your normal density is not 200 follicular units per square cm. These numbers are unrealistic because it would deplete your donor area so much that as you continue to bald, which you will, you will have no hair to use in the donor area. These numbers, although they can be done as shown here, […]
You really can’t predict your hair loss, especially if you treat it with a drug like Finasteride, which can, in some men, stop the process. A NW Class 2 should not be transplanted, and I would recommend that you don’t rush to do a hair transplant unless you see real balding. Build a good Master […]
This is his answer to me: “Thanks for your reply. You bring up a very good point that if I continue to bald behind the transplant it will look strange, however, if that does occur, I do plan on chasing it with further HT’s in the future. I positioned myself in a career where I […]
I generally want to treat someone of your age with medications until your final hair loss pattern becomes evident, usually about 26 years of age. I usually start off developing a Master Plan with each of my patients, laying out what I am suggesting we do as things progress good or bad. I always start […]
What you need is to find a doctor who understands the progressive nature of genetic balding in men. With this much balding at 21, you may be heading for a Class 7 pattern but typically Asians do not have the donor supply to treat such a large area of balding if you should evolve into […]
The real question is what will be your final hair loss pattern and will you have enough hair to follow the loss to its normal completion? Men under 25 are not good candidates for hair transplants. I consider doing a hair transplant on a 21 year-old the equivalent of malpractice on the part of the doctor. I would recommend […]
Wow, your hair loss at this stage is an advanced Class 3 pattern but the real question is where is the hair loss going? Of course you can have a hair transplant now, then do another in a year and a year later do another etc., if you get what I am saying. You don’t want […]
