Would a transplant work for me?
Hi everyone, I’m 21 years old and I’ve been considering a hair transplant for a while now. I know I’m very young and already have quite noticeable hair loss, but I’ve been taking finasteride (1 mg a day) for almost 2 years without any issues, and I can assure you that since I started, I haven’t lost any more hair (yes, I already looked like this at 19). I’m fairly confident that my situation has stabilized, so I’d like to ask for some general opinions about a hair transplant. Any advice is welcome, but I’d really appreciate it if you could answer these questions:
- For a natural hairline (even slightly receded, something like Harry Styles in 2015 for reference), but with good density everywhere, how many grafts would it roughly require?
- Do you think I’m a suitable candidate? I know I’m very young, but since I’ve been taking finasteride for 2 years without sides, I don’t think it’s a huge issue, especially because I haven’t lost any additional hair in almost 2 years.
- Do I have sufficient donor area density?
- If I were to realize that the result didn’t look natural enough, would I still be able to shave my head very short with a buzz cut, or would the transplant signs be noticeable (low density/scarring)?
