Don't get one if you don't ahve the donor hair to cover the large area with the density you want, and know you have enough donor hair left over in case some of your grafts don't grow out.
If you are young, you will really want at least 60 grafts per cm2 if not 80. This is not possible on a big area unless you use BHT. 50 per cm2 really is for older adults who just don't want to be bald.
Try your best to know what you will get before you get it so you can know if you will be happy about it. Any improvement will probably seem worth it at first. But sacrifice your grades in school making money to get hair that won't be thick enough to make you happy.
Do not get an hair transplant because you fell in love with a woman who is about to leave and you think the hair transplant will stop her from leaving. It won't be enough to make a difference, and won't grow out fast enough, and will leave you broke working long hours, and will have considerable down time as you recover.
