Question: I'm 26 years old and have been losing my hair for about a year and a half now. I've lost density throughout my scalp and in the crown area, and my hair line has receded, though only the hair line is noticeable when my hair is dry. Should I wait until my hair loss slow down or would surgery be an option for me now?

Answer: It really depends on how much your hair loss is bothering you. The right time for surgery is once it really starts to bother you. If that time is now, you certainly can have surgery, but should understand that, given your young age, completely filling in the crown area is not the best idea as you will likely continue to lose hair from there.
