Senior Member MyNameIsRich Posted September 2, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted September 2, 2011 I see this quite often 'Some people may be suitable for hair transplants/may not be' What does that mean? When is a person not a good candidate? obviously, if they have so little donor hair left, but besides that, what other reasons makes a person not suitable? I'm just worried I'd fall under that category Click to check my hair blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessie1 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Rich, Many characteristics including poor donor supply (low density), diffuse pattern thinning over entire scalp (including donor), age, hair type. This list is not exhaustive by any means. To put your mind at ease why not go for a consultation with a Doc. They will give you it straight. I would advise seeing a Doc face to face rather than a representative in this case. What makes you think that you may fall into the 'unsuitable category'? What is your situation Rich? All the best, Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spanker Posted September 15, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2011 I think you cfall in the catagory as not a good candidate Rich due to your age (too young) and your level of hair loss (minor). Some say you should wait til a minimum of 25 yrs old, I personally think 30 yrs old is a better age. I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.
