Technically a hair transplantation can be performed at any age. The patient's age is a vital factor to be considered, though. Prefereably the paitent should be at least 30 years of age. Under certain circumstances younger patients may be considered. Dr. Hussain recommends an operation for around 15-20% of the patients less than 30 years of age.

Please see the age section for further information on this aspect of the operation.
