Am I a Candidate for a Hair Transplant?

Not everyone experiencing hair loss is an immediate candidate for a hair transplant. A successful hair restoration procedure begins with a detailed evaluation of your hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, medical history, and long-term goals.

Common Factors That Make Someone a Good Candidate

  • Stable Pattern Hair Loss: Patients with predictable hair loss patterns often have more reliable restoration planning.
  • Adequate Donor Hair: Healthy donor follicles are necessary to create natural-looking coverage.
  • Realistic Expectations: Understanding what can be achieved based on available donor resources is important.
  • Good General Health: Overall health can influence healing and recovery.
  • Appropriate Age and Hair Loss Pattern: Timing is considered to create a long-term restoration strategy.

Who May Need Additional Evaluation?

Patients with active hair loss, limited donor supply, certain medical conditions, or unrealistic expectations may require additional assessment before considering surgery. In some cases, medical treatments may be recommended first.

How Is Candidacy Determined?

During a consultation, Dr. Brett Bolton evaluates your scalp, donor area, hair loss progression, and restoration goals. This allows a personalized recommendation based on your individual situation.

With more than 10,000+ Hair Restoration Procedures performed and approximately 75% Corrective Hair Transplant Cases, Dr. Brett Bolton provides customized treatment plans for both first-time and corrective hair restoration patients.

Dr. Bolton's team is awesome. I've had two transplants and achieved density I didn't think was possible. Do yourself a favor and go with Dr Bolton's suggestion. Although he's very patient he knows what he's doing. On his first attempt the hairline was perfect. Don't rush it, allow a few days to... Read Full Review →
