Who is a good candidate for hair transplantation?
Today, nearly 50% of men over the age of 50 experience hair loss problems. Thus, hair transplantation is the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery for men. Hair loss is not a condition unique to men, however, as many women may experience hair loss or thinning as well.
What is the most important factor in hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation is a serious surgical procedure that should be performed in a hospital setting to minimize risks. It is crucial for the procedure to be performed by well-trained and experienced plastic surgeons in order to achieve the best results. For successful hair transplantation, the transplanted hair follicles need to be quickly vascularized, or “take,” in the area where they are placed. When the correct technique is used, the success rate of hair transplantation is quite high. It is important to plant the hair at the correct distance, angle, and density towards the balding areas for a natural look.
Who is eligible for a hair transplant?
Anyone who is not physically ill and has enough follicles in the donor area can have a hair transplant, regardless of age. Men and women who have experienced hair loss due to various reasons from their 19-20s can have a hair transplant operation.
