Is 27 too young for a hair transplant? And if I am on Minoxidil, should I stop beforehand? (Photo)

If you are losing hair and want treatment options you should schedule a consultation with a doctor.  Age may be a factor but you need an examination and a treatment plan.

Age of 27 by itself is not too young to have a transplant but it looks as if your thinning is mostly on the top of your head.We want to be careful about transplanting to the top/crown in men under the age of 35-40 as you may continue to lose hair around the transplants resulting in an uneven appearance.I would recommend visiting a knowledgeable Hair Restoration Surgeon for a full in person evaluation.In the meantime continue the Minoxidil.

How soon you should stop and then restart using Minoxidil can vary pretty significantly depending on your doctor. But generally you can use it up until pretty close to the date of the transplant, then wait 2 weeks to a month before starting it up again. During the planning process of your transplant the doctor should indicate their preferred timeline for this.
