The most ideal age range is between 18 and 65 years of age. Hair transplants performed between these ages will give much more successful results. If necessary, with the approval of a specialist doctor, hair transplantation surgery can also be performed for people outside this age range.

You’ll likely feel pain or soreness at the transplant site as well as in the area where hair was taken from. For the next few days, your surgeon may prescribe: pain medications, such as ibuprofen (Advil) antibiotics to prevent infections.

If you’re completely bald, a hair transplant will probably produce an improvement, but it’s not going to give you a completely full head of hair. However, if you have minor hair loss and plenty of donor hair, a hairline transplant can help you reverse several years of hair loss and improve your appearance.
