My hair transplant journey

Hope it goes well. Braver than me.

Imagine the surgeon doing that day in day out. Tedious for them.

Gotta say, I'm curious about the "Needless pre-anaesthetic".

From what I gather, it's a device that uses air pressure to push the anaesthetic through the skin. It's not entirely pain free, but it's got to beat having a load of needles stuck in your head.

They have their uses

If she's gabbing off to you, you can bring her into her domain (Kitchen) and stick her to the fridge with them and get peace for an hour or 2 while she tries to wriggle free.

Wouldn't that be needleless rather than 'needless'?

Interested to see progress pics...and if it's painful.

Best of luck! I will keep a watch on the thread.

what did they have to say about not taking finasteride? from what I gathered, all of the major clinics seem to be adamant on taking finasteride before and after the surgery.
I always avoided finasteride due to the side effects horror stories, its always qouted about how rare the side effects are but it seems everyone thats ever taken it has suffered some to a degree. I would like my hair back but I not as the expense of a fully working dong.

Do whatever makes you happy man. Good luck!

koolpc · 23 Jul 2020 at 23:06

Good luck. Especially as you going to Turkey to get it done.

I shave my dome. Each to their own i guess.

Where do they get the hair from that they transplant? The morgue?

Megahurtz400 · 23 Jul 2020 at 23:26

As said in the things i've purchased thread, best of luck mate and hope it goes well!

As for people saying best of luck getting it done in Turkey, i've heard of a few people having it done over there and every one of them has said it was a completely flawless experience with a spotless hospital.

Same with people going to Thailand for dental work!

Hope it goes according to plan and you feel better as a result.

Secret_Window · 23 Jul 2020 at 23:58

Good luck to you OP.

I know someone who went to Turkey for theirs and it looks amazing.

Mate of mine got his done recently in the UK, and had a series of laser treatment before, and is now in the after.
Its only been about a month now, so its hard to see the effect yet, but given what he paid, and the place's reputation, he should be looking like Dave Grohl in a few months!
He looked into Turkey, but was not willing to take the risks. After all, if it does not take for any reason, the areas they have taken from are thinner now, so it is not likely to be possible to re-do it

They harvest it from other areas of your head where the hair is more plentiful (back and sometimes the sides).

OP should have gone for the obvious clipperhead joke name! One job, you had one job!

Did they go in the middle of a pandemic though ?

OP at the end of September:

I think at 46 I would have just left it.

Will he gain eagle eye action too ?

I just wonder if the end result will actually look that much better ? Will be interesting to see how it turns out in 12 months time.

I know it's maybe a bit of a leap ... but

Question: Why are some of the richest men on earth bald if they have the means to eradicate it?

Answer: It's not possible, you're wasting your money.

You might say that they're not all vain or the like, but I present to you, Mr Donald Trump.

I also started to recede, and when the first bit of skin started to show, I shaved it all off, now using a razor all the years later. If I could wave a magic wand, I'd also choose to have my hair back, but being a baldy has great advantages -I look beautiful, 24/7, never having to deal with bad hair days.

500 deposit is a good deal but it seems you still have a bit toupee.

I almost let out a little wee!

Check out the YouTube channel baldcafe if you are going a bit thin and looking for some support.

Good luck. I accepted my hair loss in my early 20's and its not something I could spend money on as I would like a guaranteed proper fix for the cash.
