Is it a right age for hair transplant ?

[Atlanta]

I am 38 yrs old.

Started noticing transplant at 31-32 yrs of age.

Now I am Norwood 3 V.

Should I wait for hair transplant or is it a right time.

correcting noticing hair loss not transplant .

[Cant decide]

I would say it is a good time. Especially if you have been able to stabilize with meds.

[Dutch]

Definitely a good time for it. Go for it if you're ready.

It's not like you're at an early stage of hair loss. Good luck

i never used any meds.

worried about sexual side effects with propecia.

[Dutch]

Don't just take into account what you've heard about propecia. Everyone is different. I took it & having been doing so for about 3 years & no problems. You can even take it every other day, or take half a tablet a day if you're worried

I totally understand about the meds. However, if your only concern is about the sexual side effects, it may be worth it to give it a try and see if it effects you. If so, quite immediately. At least then you'll know.

 

As per your age, I think you're definitely at a good age. I had mine when I was 29. I know of others who had it done in their mid twenties.

You are a good age for a transplant, but the right time comes after you've done enough reading on the subject.

 

By the way your profile says you were born in 1980. That's my year of birth too, and unless I fell asleep for 8 years last night, I'm not 38 yet.

Sounds like the right time but you might want to consider meds. If you go in for a consultation, the doc can probably explain more about them and the risks to you.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 37 this year, same norwood scale I think and I don't take meds. I'm thinking about taking them and thinking about surgery with Dr Bisanga.

 

I'm been researching the topic for the last three months and learing all the time.
