While having certain medical conditions can complicate a hair transplant procedure, in most cases it is still possible for black patients to undergo hair restoration surgery. The key is to have a thorough consultation with a qualified hair transplant surgeon who has experience working with African hair types and textures. They will evaluate your medical history, scalp condition, and hair loss pattern to determine if you are a viable candidate. Conditions like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or blood clotting issues don’t necessarily rule out a transplant, but may require taking extra precautions or adjusting the surgical approach. With proper planning and care, many black patients with health concerns can still achieve excellent, natural-looking results from a hair transplant.
