Before undergoing a hair transplant, your surgeon will make several considerations before declaring you proper fit and proceeding with the procedure. These considerations are to identify whether you are suitable. Here are some reasons and situations where hair transplant is not possible:

If you face extensive hair fall, the transplant will not be possible.

Extensive Hair Fall

For a hair transplant procedure to be successful, excellent and healthy follicles are required to cover your head’s bald area. However, if the hair fall is excessively level, the donor area will start looking bald after donating some hairs.

Hairs are Still Dense

If the thinning area is still dense enough to have enough space for the grafting process, a hair transplant won’t be possible. After the procedure, natural hair around the surgery sites falls off temporarily. However, in the case of dense hair, a good amount of natural air can fall. Hence, it might do more harm than good.

Medical conditions like Diffuse Hair Loss and Alopecia Areata can stop you from getting a hair transplant.

Diffuse Hair Loss

Diffuse hair loss refers to a condition where hairs will fall from all parts of your scalp. It means that you don’t have a healthy donor site for the transplant. Even if you take hair from the beard or other body parts, there are still good chances that follicles continue to fall due to diffuse hair loss.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata is a medical condition that refers to the hair coming out in clumps. It is an autoimmune disorder that can vary from person to person. Some might lose it from a particular scalp area, while others might lose it from everywhere. Similarly, in some cases, the hair might grow back and fall again, and in some, the hair might not grow back. Hence, if you have Alopecia Areata, the hair transplant won’t be possible as it can lead to complications.
