Hair transplantation, like any surgical procedure, has its own contraindications. Here are some of them:
Age: Hair transplantation is usually not recommended for people under the age of 25, as baldness is still actively progressing up to this age, and the final degree of alopecia has not yet been established.
Insufficient amount of donor hair: A successful hair transplant requires a sufficient amount of donor hair. If there are not enough of them, the hair transplant operation may be ineffective.
Chronic diseases: Hair transplantation may be contraindicated in some chronic diseases (for example, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases).
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, dysmorphic disorder, trichotillomania are contraindications to hair transplantation, as they can affect the patient's perception of the results of the operation.
Hair transplantation is a serious surgical procedure that requires a thorough analysis of the patient's health and the quality of his hair. Contraindications related to age, the 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 the successful hair transplant operation. 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 a doctor after a full examination of the patient and an assessment of the condition of his hair.
