Maybe you have been bothered by a receding hairline or you maybe you are seeing your scalp where there should be hair. The shock of a receding hairline or bald spot can be quite hard. However do not worry we have got your back. Thanks to hair transplant surgery you can get rid of baldness and enjoy a head full of hair. So if you are thinking to get hair transplant one of the questions that might be on your mind is when is it the best time to have this surgery?
Everyone is different so there is no ideal time for hair transplant just like there is no ideal time for laser hair removal or nose job. Many patients are overwhelmed by hair transplant that is why they postpone it but once they undergo the surgery they see how easy it is and they wish they had got it before. You can take the following guidelines into consideration when deciding wether it is the right time for you to have hair transplant or not:
Age
Male pattern of baldness affects up to two thirds of people by the age of 35, can start forming as early as 18 years of age. At Estevitalya we do not recommend having a hair transplant surgery before the age of 25, even if you are experiencing severe hair loss. Between the ages of 18-29 your hairline is still forming. You might think you have a receding hairline but it might be what we call a mature hairline which is different then a receding hairline.
Your Expectations
Your donor hair is in some way limited in supply. But the good thing is that the donor hair comes from an area that is not prone to hair loss. This means you don’t have to worry about the hair falling out in the future if you want to have the surgery in a later time, your donor hair will be fine.
The Cost
Hair transplants are not cheap especially in countries like the United Kingdom and USA. But the good news is that turkey offers way cheaper prices while maintaining a high quality service and great results. Do your research and you will be able to find a high quality clinic that offers a good affordable price. Contact our hair transplant clinic in Antalya for more information about the price and for a free consultation.
Recovery Period
While the FUT method required a longer time of recovery, FUE, Sapphire FUE and DHI methods require less time for the scalp to heal. About 7 to 10 days. During this period there will be tiny dots on your head and you might experience some swelling. While it is okay for you to go back to work after 1 or 2 days from the surgery we recommend our patients to take one or two weeks off to allow the new hair to start growing again and the little red dots on the head to fade away.
Time of The Year
For many hair transplant patients Christmas is the best time to get hair transplant because you can get the surgery during the holiday without the need to take any time off if you have a busy job and cannot take any time off.
Also there are some set rules and instructions you need to follow after hair transplant. While you can resume most of your daily activities a few days after hair transplant you should not go swimming for at least the first month and you should protect your head from direct sunlight. So you might consider having your hair transplant at the end of your holiday so you can enjoy your time outdoors before the surgery. No matter the time of the year you will need to plan ahead and schedule your hair transplant some time before.
