However, not all such patients are candidates for hair transplants. There are eight conditions that cause patients to not be appropriate candidates. These are: diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA), cicatricial alopecia (CA), patients with unstable hair loss, patients with insufficient hair loss, very young patients, patients with unrealistic expectations, patients with psychologic disorders such as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and trichotillomania, and patients who are medically unfit. In addition, there are patients who are poor candidates and who should undergo hair transplantation only if they understand and accept limited results. The key to identifying these patients involves performing careful and detailed history and examination at the time of consultation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1739247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,20]],"date-time":"2021-12-20T23:43:35Z","timestamp":1640043815000},"page":"435-440","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Is Every Patient of Hair Loss a Candidate for Hair Transplant?\u2014Deciding Surgical Candidacy in Pattern Hair Loss"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Robert H.","family":"True","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Society Hair Restoration Surgery, Hair Restoration Surgery, True and Dorin Medical Group, New York, New York, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,20]]},"reference":[{"issue":"03","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"708","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-6632.1951.tb31971.x","article-title":"Patterned loss of hair in man; types and incidence","volume":"53","author":"J B Hamilton","year":"1951","journal-title":"Ann N Y Acad Sci"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"247","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1977.tb15179.x","article-title":"Classification of the types of androgenetic alopecia (common baldness) occurring in the female sex","volume":"97","author":"E Ludwig","year":"1977","journal-title":"Br J Dermatol"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"343","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fsc.2013.04.004","article-title":"Patient selection, candidacy, and treatment planning for hair restoration surgery","volume":"21","author":"R J Konior","year":"2013","journal-title":"Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"248","volume-title":"An overview of the donor area: basic principles","author":"J Devroye","year":"2011"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"771","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4725.1997.tb00417.x","article-title":"Follicular transplantation.
