  1. hey guys im 21 and thinking about getting a small ht on the sides of my head, ive done extensive research over the past year and found a good doctor in my area. Ive decided to go with just the sides of my head instead of the hairline becuase that way if worse comes to worse and i continue balding i wont look weird with a line of hair in the front and bald behind it. Although i do feel my hairline could use work i would rather play it safe and i feel i would be happy and can resume my life again even if i just had a ht for the sides of my head. I just wanted to know what anyone else thought about my decision. Thanks

  3. thinkingaboutit,

     

    Hopefully after a hair tranpsplant one wouldnt have to feel self-conscious anymore, if someone wasnt depressed or self-conscious about there hairloss they probably wouldnt be spending thousands of dollars to have surgery. Me personally im suffering from depression and i am very self-conscious becuase of my receding hairline, thats why i want to get a good surgery by a good doc so that after the surgery i can go back to my life.

  4. hey guys i came up on this artice today and thought it was interesting and wanted to know if anyone else has heard of this.

     

    03/21/05)-- A new technique may soon make hair transplants more affordable. HealthFirst reporter Leslie LoBue introduces the new tool that makes the whole procedure much easier.

     

    A new technique may soon make hair transplants more affordable. A medical doctor has developed a tool that makes hair transplantation much easier, and this may change how some men see their receding hairline.

     

    For 41-year-old Tom Geissler, bald was not beautiful. He likened his hairline to an airport runway. "A landing strip, well you know, just running right down the middle."

     

    Tom took a gamble and secretly had a hair transplant without even telling his friends ... Or even his wife.

     

    "He came in with bandages, a hat and ice packs. It looked like he had been in a fight," Lisa Geissler says. "The first [transplant] was rough."

     

    Tom's first transplant included a traditional ear-to-ear incision about nine inches long. With his next transplant, however, hair transplant specialist James Harris, M.D., used a method he developed called the SAFE (Surgically Advanced Follicular Extraction) System.

     

    "It's virtually pain-free. This is minimally invasive hair transplantation surgery," Dr. Harris, of Hair Sciences Center of Colorado in Greenwood Village, tells Ivanhoe.

     

    Dr. Harris himself has had a traditional transplant. Now, with the SAFE System, he plucks follicles from the scalp in two strokes. No sutures, no scars. No costly team of technicians. The process is so much easier, he says the price will likely drop. "The demand will be there, and the more surgeons that are doing it, that will drive the price down as well."

     

    The result is no more obvious hair plugs, but a more natural look -- leaving old friends wondering.

     

    "One of them actually kind of tipped my head forward. He said, 'Boy, you seem to be doing OK.' So he didn't notice," Tom says. And even his hairdresser didn't know for sure ... Until now.

     

    In a traditional hair transplant, the price per graft is between $3 and $7. The SAFE System costs more, but the price will likely drop to between $3 and $5 within a few years. A person could have between 500 and 3,000 grafts.
