Questions about hair transplants
I appreciate all answers and am looking for multiple perspectives!
Does transplanted hair really remain forever, even without Fin/Min?
Is it possible to tell early on I’m the balding process, if I would be a good candidate for a hair transplant? I am 30.
What makes a good hair transplant candidate?
Is there such as thing as doing a transplant too early?
Is there a limit to how many transplants I can get?
Is there an optimal time to get a transplant?
Is it OK to get a transplant (or multiple) and not take Fin/Min?
Can I transplant from beard if beard hair is dense and thick?
1- Transplants remain forever in 95% of men provided the hair came from the donor area
2- Balding does show in most men unless they can style their hair to cover it
3- Right age (over 25), setting realistic expectations, good donor area, great surgeon and team
4- Transplants prior to 25 are not advisable. Be sure that no scalp skin diseases exist on the head
5- Transplantation in a single session has limits. Total lifetime supply of grafts is about 2/3rd of the donor supply provided that your hair is not fine in character
6- Over 25, with realistic expectations, sit down with a great surgeon and work out a Master Plan for our future
7- If you are over 30 and miniaturization is not a problem, then not using finasteride with the transplant may be ok. Remember, the risks of hair loss continue and even more so if you had recent hair loss when you had a hair transplant. Genetic hair loss is a progressive process, something you must remember
8- Beard hair is a secondary donor site if you run out of scalp hair. Scalp hair is the best hair because it has the same character of the hair you lost
