Am I a Good Candidate for a Hair Transplant?
Quick answer: You are generally a better candidate for a hair transplant if your hair loss pattern has stabilised, you have enough healthy donor hair at the back and sides, you are in good general health and you have realistic expectations; a surgeon must assess you in person.
Donor supply
Grafts come from your own donor area, which is finite.
Stability
Younger people with fast-changing loss may need to wait or use medical treatment first.
Other options
Diffuse thinning or limited donor hair may suit non-surgical options better.

Frequently asked questions
Can women have transplants?
Some can, depending on the pattern of loss.
Is age important?
Stability of loss matters more than age alone.
Who decides?
A qualified surgeon after examination.
