Who is suitable for hair transplant? What are the determining criteria?

The determining criterion in the transplantation procedure is the presence of hair in the donor area, which is the region located at the back of the head and the upper part of the nape, which has the feature of not shedding, in sufficient density and quantity.

Hair transplantation, which can be applied to anyone regardless of gender, has the following main determining criteria:

• The general health status of the person should not pose any risk for the operation.
• There should be enough grafts in the donor area to cover the bald areas.
• People with chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure should obtain approval from their doctor.

Who Cannot Have a Hair Transplant?

• Hair transplantation is not performed on the following individuals:
• People who do not have hair in the donor area
• People who are born without hair

How is the Hair Transplantation Procedure Planned?

When hair transplantation is performed, a special planning is required by taking into account many factors such as the person’s age, social status, and environmental factors. In young people whose hair has opened a little from the front and whose age is young, it should be considered that the hair opening will increase more over time, and the planning should be made accordingly.

In people whose hair loss is expected to continue, it will be a correct choice not to plan the front hairline too forward. At the same time, by applying a thickening procedure in the areas where the hair is expected to shed, complete baldness can be prevented even if the hair loss continues. In this way, a second hair transplantation session can be planned to fill the place of the hair that will be shed in the future.

For people who need to use medication constantly and who have chronic diseases or illnesses, a detailed information is given to the person’s doctor regarding the hair transplantation procedure, and an approval report is requested. If the doctor provides the report, the hair transplantation procedure can be performed on the patient.
