Are you facing hair loss? Do you want to find a solution to this problem? Are you thinking about getting a hair transplant done?
Hair transplant is definitely one of the treatment options for hair loss. But this is not the best or most suitable option for everyone.
You must be wondering why this is not the best treatment option and who is the wrong candidates for hair transplant.
Hair transplant is a very intricate and important surgery. And it is very important to know whether or not you are the correct candidate for this procedure before getting it done. No hair transplant surgeon or plastic surgeon will recommend this procedure to you without
first confirming that you are the right candidate first.
Let’s discuss the factors that determine if you are the right or wrong candidate for a hair transplant process.
1) Recipient area - The recipient area is the area on which the hair grafts are implanted. The doctor calculates the baldness grade between 1 and 7 on the Norwood scale. How much has the baldness progressed? Has it just started? Or has it reached an advanced stage? How fast are you losing hair? These are the factors that your surgeon will assess to determine if you are a viable candidate for hair transplant.
2) Availability of the donor area - Your donor area is the area from where your hair grafts will be taken. This area is generally on the back and sides of the head, your beard and body hair can also be effective donor areas. These areas are permanent hair zones and are not affected by Dihydrotestosterone or DHT. The doctor studies the donor area to determine the density before deciding if you are a viable candidate. If you don’t have a proper donor area, you cannot get a hair transplant done.
3) Age - Hair transplant is conducted only on candidates above the age of 25. Your hair loss and baldness stabilize after the age of 25.
4) Physical fitness - Hair transplant is a long procedure and in some cases, the surgery is divided into multiple sessions. So you should be physically fit to withstand this procedure.
5) Previous illness or surgery - If you have alopecia areata, or a keloidal tendency or a skin disease called lichen planopilaris,
you are not the right candidate for a hair transplant. If someone has a body dysmorphic disorder, which is a disease in which individuals feel disgusted towards their own body and feel that they have extremely flawed bodies, they are not right candidates for hair transplant as they will never be happy with the results of the procedure.
6) Unrealistic expectations - If a middle-aged person wants hair like a teenager, this is an unrealistic expectation. You should have age-appropriate expectations. Your bald patches and scars will get covered, you will have hair on your head as per your age
and body tendency. Your hair transplant will also improve the visual density of your head. But you should also keep in mind the limitations of your hair. If you are unable to keep realistic expectations, your doctor should not recommend a hair transplant.
7) Stabilization of hair loss - There are many hair loss treatments, like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and medical procedures like
medicinal therapy, Platelet-rich plasma therapy, mesotherapy & low-level laser light therapy. If you have undergone these treatments and they haven’t worked for more than 6 months, you are the right candidate for a hair transplant.
It is important that your hair loss stabilizes for you to be a good candidate for hair transplant. Only your doctor or surgeon can assess if you are the right candidate and if you are not then why not.
