When to go for surgery? What would be the complication if not operated?
By age 35, any hair loss you may experience has typically stabilized. This doesn’t mean you can’t have a hair transplant earlier. But it’s a good idea to wait until any rapid hair loss eases off so that your hair doctor or hair restoration technician can get a good idea of your pattern of hair loss.,

Is it covered under insurance?
Is the treatment covered under insurance?
Since hair transplant comes under cosmetic surgery ,most of the insurance companies do not cover the cost of Hair transplant.One can also check with Insurance providers while buying the insurance policies some insurance companies do cover cosmetic treatment as well.
How is the recovery after surgery?
Most people are able to return to work 2 to 5 days after the operation. Most people will see 60% of new hair growth after 6 to 9 months.One needs to be very cautious for the first two weeks after hair transplantation. This is because grafts are not fixated immediately after transplantation. After 2 to 5 days, if any bandages are placed, they can be removed, but do not touch the grafts
