Hair transplantation, like any surgical intervention, has its own contraindications. Here are some of them::
Age: Hair transplantation is generally not recommended for people under 25 years of age, as baldness is still actively progressing before this age, and the final degree of alopecia is not yet established.
Insufficient amount of donor hair: A successful hair transplant requires a sufficient amount of donor hair. If they are not enough, hair transplant surgery may not be effective.
Chronic diseases: For some chronic diseases (for example, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases), hair transplantation may be contraindicated.
Oncological diseases: Hair transplantation is not recommended for patients with cancer, as hair transplantation in this case can provoke tumor growth.
Infectious diseases: In the presence of infectious diseases such as hepatitis, HIV, hair transplantation is also contraindicated.
Mental disorders: Depression, bipolar disorder, dysmorphophobia, trichotillomania are contraindications to hair transplantation, as they can affect the patient's perception of the results of the operation.
A hair transplant is a serious surgical procedure that requires careful analysis of the patient's health status and the quality of their hair. Contraindications related to the age, condition of the donor hair, its quantity and quality, the presence of chronic and infectious diseases, as well as mental disorders, must be taken into account for successful hair transplant surgery. In the presence of any of these factors, the risk of complications increases, so the decision on the possibility of hair transplantation should be made by the doctor after a complete examination of the patient and an assessment of the condition of his hair.
