This young man, full of life and energy, a model and instagram favourite full of confidence and the world at his feet, like many, took the decision to have a hair transplant at a very young age.
The problem is not only that he was not able to tolerate medication, but actually also other factors here that are not expounded upon on most videos, that really need to be noted and discussed.
On a weekly basis we receive interest and enquiry at the clinic from individuals in their early 20s that detail their perceived stabilisation sometimes with medication and sometimes without.
The truth is that I have seen many patients who felt their hair was stable at 25, to then be in a very different situation at 30 and there are factors that present the risk of surgery at such a young age such as detailed in this video.
For those of us who are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness, we will continue to lose hair due to the progressive condition into our late years. Whilst medication can be essential and extremely effective, it does not mean that our loss will not progress at any stage.
With that being said, a patient who presents perceived stabilisation at 25, does not mean decline will not occur between 25-30, 30-35 etc and this is the key to having an appropriate approach with the long term in mind, as opposed to a short term fix that may leave you compromised in the future just like the guy in this video.
Loss from 18 - 25 for example represents a period of only 7 years. This timeframe represents less than 1/5 of the timeframe between 25 and 60 years and so this must be considered and in this case surgery was performed at an even younger age and the result and consequences are for all to see.
