Why Would Prince William Be a Surgical Candidate?

Thank you for running a great site. I’ve found it immensely helpful in learning about this condition.

My question is – earlier last summer, you mentioned that Prince William would likely be a good candidate for a hair restoration procedure. I am curious though why that is the case. I had always been under the assumption that a young man with an aggressive pattern like the Prince would not be a candidate. Am I mistaken? If so, what particularly sets someone like Prince William apart? Is it the fact that he is a diffuse thinner rather than a receder?

In general if a person has male pattern baldness (like Prince William) and has good donor hair and scalp laxity, they WANT and DESIRE a change, and they have REALISTIC expectations of what is possible, they can be a candidate for a hair transplant surgery.

I have never met Prince William and my answers were just based on the reader’s hypothetical questions. Perhaps Prince William does not want a hair transplant surgery and is fine with his hair and the possibilities of eventually going completely bald in the Norwood class 6 pattern. I do not know if he has (a) fine, medium, or coarse hair, or (b) what his donor supply looks like or how it would measures out if I checked his hair density in the donor area.

From his overall pattern, I would suspect that he might benefit from Propecia (finasteride) based upon his age and overall pattern. Many class 6 patterned individuals who are young and go on this drug, may notice increased coverage, reflecting the thickening of the existing hair shafts or even new hair growth.

Finally based on pictures alone, I do not think he has a disease like DUPA, as it appears that he has good hair on the sides and back of his head.
