Answer: Hair loss at age 21 It's important to have your hair loss evaluated by an experienced doctor. Then your hair loss needs to be medically managed, stabilized, and then you can discuss surgical options. Surgery should never be the first choice.

Answer: Hair Transplant Candidacy in Young Patients Considering Propecia at your age is reasonable as this can help to thicken your current hair and retard/prevent future hair loss. It is not unusual to see some shedding after starting this medication, but this is a temporary phenomenon. I would not advise a surgical procedure at your age. Your pattern and rate of hair loss is unpredictable at this time, and it is best to wait until you are older before considering a surgery.

Answer: Hair transplants - not an option at 21. It's great you've started finasteride (Propecia). It is quite normal to get a bit more loss in the first 6 weeks of using it.Hair comes from mom's side and dad's side. We might resemble on parent more than another but genetics most certainly comes from both sidesMost men at 21 have thick donor areas - even those who go on to be quite bald. At 21 it would simply be a guess as to what your future hair loss patterns will be.Hair transplants are rarely rarely a good option before 25. It is important to understand how you will do on finasteride (Propecia) and also understand what sort of progression you will have (if any). I know it feels like a good idea to consider a transplant, but it's probably not.

Answer: Visit a doctor It is not a great idea to get a hair transplant at your age and at the very beginning of your hair loss. Hair loss is progressive and a hair transplant is permanent. You may end up with a ring of hair around your head and baldness in the center if you were to get a transplant. It is important to start preventative measures. Propecia is a good step. You could also try vitamins and certain shampoos depending on your specific hair loss. You need to get the hair loss under control before considering a hair transplant. FUE or strip can be an option once these measures are taken. It would be best to visit a doctor that specializes in hair loss so that they can examine your scalp, determine the cause of your hair loss, and then come up with a treatment plan customized to you.
