Slightly Thinning at 16 — My Parents are Fine With Me Having a Transplant
Hi, I am 16 years of age, I have a full head of hair, however i notice slight thinning nearer to the temple, but not too much thinning, just light hairs. I am using products to strengthen it though. I was just asking if it is possible to get a FUE hair transplant to straighten my hairline to have a juvenile hairline?
Is it possible to have one, at my age, and my parents are fine with me going through the procedure?
Age sixteen is too early for presence of male pattern hair loss, but it does occur at rare times. You need to be seen and examined by a hair loss doctor for possibility of other types of hair loss. If you are only seeing some thinning in the frontal hairline, you may be experiencing early maturing of the hairline. If this is the case you have to wait until your hairline maturation completes. If it progresses toward male pattern baldness, then medical treatment would be your first step in managing this condition and you absolutely should get your hair mapped out for miniaturization to put a metric for following the progression. By any means, hair transplant is rarely recommended at your age.
