nithinmetallica,

 

I have taken the liberty of moving your post to a new thread where it will get more attention.

 

I don't know who you met with a Dr. Madhu's office and I don't know what your hair loss looks like, but I'm sure you were given sounds advice. Reputable clinics to do not perform surgery on unsuitable candidates.

 

There there is no hard and fast rule regarding the appropriate age for hair transplantation, the early twenties is often too young for most hair loss sufferers for a few reasons. One of these reasons is the inevitable progression of balding. Attempting to restore a youthful hairline at your age will likely result in shortage of donor hair to address future hair loss and potentially leaving you with a unnatural "island" of hair on your head.

 

I don't know what it is that you are using but the most effective medical hair loss treatments currently available are Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil). These drugs when used in combination will provide you with the best opportunity to preserve the hair you have and perhpas regrow hair that you've already lost.

 

Be cautious. If you consult with enough clinics, you will no doubt find one willing to perform surgery on you even if it is not in your best interest. I recommend that you take some time to carefully research before making the decision to pursue surgery.

have you taken preventive medications such as finpecia?

Have you considered using Hair Concealers like Nanogen or Toppik? I am 25 years old and I have lost a lot of my hair already on the top and a lot of my hairline is gone. I am between a Norwood 3A to 4A. I know what you are going through, it's not easy but those concealers have saved me...for now.

I don't know if the hair gets damaged or increases further hair loss as a result of using concealers. I don't think so. My hair loss progresses year by year and I don't put the concealers to blame, its mainly genetics. I have had a really good experience using it, there is not one day that goes by where I don't use it. It really hides my hair loss very well. The only issue that I have had with it is that it may cause slight irritation in the scalp. It makes my head itchy sometimes but other than that, no complaints. I would definitely recommend giving it a try, it has saved me so far.
