Is there an ideal age to begin Hair Transplantation?

According to the initial research, there isn't a specific age minimum for receiving a hair restoration; however, most institutions have patients ranging from 21 - 80 years of age. So twelve seems very early.
From the research I found several reasons why a person shouldn't undergo hair restoration surgery too early.
*
The extent and rate of hair loss is more difficult to predict
*
A diagnosis of a disease or infection might be missed
*
Restoring the hairline to its original position will look unnatural as the patient ages
*
Restoring a patient’s original density, of course, is not a realistic goal of a hair transplant, which services only to redistribute existing hair
