- ”I learned that I have vitamin D deficiency after visiting my doctor. I do not know how long I have this deficiency. I can see some baldness in some parts of my hair, especially frontal and back areas. Is it possible for me to have loss due to vitamin D deficiency? If so, would you suggest me to have hair transplant?”

How much hair loss will I experience in the upcoming years?
”I am 22 years old and I observe increasing hair loss and hair thinning every other day. I would like to know is there a way for you to predict how much hair loss I will experience as I age.”
On the other hand, we will have a better chance of predicting when you are in your 30s and 40s.
Do you think Vitamin D deficiency can cause hair thinning and loss?
”I learned that I have vitamin D deficiency after visiting my doctor. I do not know how long I have this deficiency. I can see some baldness in some parts of my hair, especially frontal and back areas. Is it possible for me to have loss due to vitamin D deficiency? If so, would you suggest me to have hair transplant?”
Vitamin D deficiency is amongst the potential causes of loss. I think it would be beneficial for you to delay your decision about hair transplant until after the vitamin D treatment that your doctor will suggest for you. Furthermore, it would be helpful for you to track whether the vitamin D treatment is beneficial for your hair loss or not.
Do doctors take sudden loss in consideration?
According to my own research prior to hair transplant, I heard that transplanting hair in between thinned hair follicles can cause sudden loss. In the planning, should more hair be transplanted in these areas, or should I have a second hair transplant on this area afterwards?
In hair transplant operations for people under the age of 30, sudden loss should always be considered. If they are not receiving any h loss treatments, it would be beneficial for them to start one right away. Of course, the same is also an issue for patients over the age of 30.
Since the lost hair will grow back, it would not be a good decision to have additional hair transplant by ignoring already transplanted hair follicles On the other hand, if those areas are not wide enough on the cm2 scale, having a transplant would not be an issue.
