How is Recession Years After a Hair Transplant?

Yes, hair transplant surgery is typically a long-term solution to baldness, in the hands of a good surgeon. Due to the progressive nature of male pattern baldness, patients are generally required to be over the age of 24. In your case, at 35 years old, your hair loss should be fairly progressed. However, everyone is different—some men lose their hair later in life. A more detailed consultation with a hair transplant surgeon will reveal how much your hair loss is projected to progress and thus, if a hair transplant is worth your while right now or if you should wait. Generally speaking, donor hair is not DHT sensitive and once implanted, should never fall out again. At 45, 55, and 65, your hair transplant should still look great.

It is the job of the hair transplant surgeon to not only have a plan and account for future hair loss, but also to educate his/her patient as to this fact.  Properly designed, a hair transplant can be a long term - and sometimes a permanent - solution for hair loss, even in a younger patient, with the ability as always to have a second procedure as indicated and explained to the patient.
