Who is a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant?

There is no specific age. Each patient is different. I will say that before embarking on a hair transplant to replace hair you need to consider Finasteride to slow down the loss first. Otherwise you will be chasing hairloss the rest of your life.

Traditionally, a good candidate for hair restoration surgery was a man or woman with healthy and permanent hair in the back of his/her head (know as the “donor area” from which the hair is harvested during the procedure) coupled with an area of thinning (i.e. the “recipient area”) that can benefit from the addition of those healthy hair follicles between each hair. 
The ideal candidate is a man/woman over 30 who has not only a healthy “donor area”, but also a well-defined area of hair thinning that they would like to increase in volume and density.  For example, the temporal recessions (the corners of the hairline that frame the face) gradually rise up and back over time to the chagrin of many women seeking an initial consultation.  These are some of the most common anatomical areas filled in to provide a healthy framing of a woman’s face.  A large percentage of females wish to lower their hairline or even give the illusion of lowering their hairline by increasing the hair density surrounding their face.  Adding healthy hair follicles throughout the part line can also provide a profound cosmetic improvement in women with hair thinning atop their head.
For patients with more aggressive hair loss at a younger age, there are numerous non-surgical treatments (PRP, topical medications, etc.) that can help halt and reverse their hair loss process.

Thank you for your question.
Before all, your current physical and mental health condition should be fine .

Secondly, your donor site which is the back of scalp should have adequate supply of hair to extract and this amount should be enough to restore an acceptable large portion of the bald area with a desired density.

Additionally, your expectation with the result should be realistic.


When all these come together, you are a very good candidate for Hair Transplant Surgery.
