Who is a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant is not generally performed until patients have reached their early to mid 20's.  I typically wait on hair transplant until a patient is about 22 years old at the youngest, but each patient is unique.  The key factors to consider are the extent of hair loss at a young age, any other medical issues that may be contributing, and the family history of hair loss.  Family history allows us to better predict what the eventual extent and pattern of hair loss might be.
Also, at a young age, it is important for patients to understand that a hair transplant is not a cure for hair loss and that other topical treatments, medications, and future hair transplant sessions might be required to achieve optimal results.  I always recommend consulting with a fellowship-training hair restoration surgeon.
All the best,

Thanks for your question. It's not abnormal to see younger men experiencing hair loss, but it's still too early for you to undergo a restoration procedure. For the best results, it's best to wait until the hair loss process has slowed down or stabilized before undergoing a transplant. At this point, it's still too early in the hair loss process to predict what pattern your loss will take. By delaying your procedure, you can ensure that you get natural-looking results that will last as long as possible.
