Hey, Brand new to the site, though i have read many post over the last few months.
I am a 22 year old Male with a Class 2- 2a hair line. I have no family history of baldness. None on mother or father sides ( all the way back to great grand-parents.) Father is almost 60 with a full set of hair, all three brothers have a full set of hair. I know this doesn't mean the gen isn't there. One dermatologist once told me that my hair loss could of been the cause of been deathly sick as a young kid which caused me to run very high but that's beside the point.
I have decided to go ahead with a hair transplant using Bosley Atlanta (just a few days away). Prolly around 1000 grafts to add to my hairline. The cost will run me around $5,000, which to me is a lot of money. But at the same time i have seen much more expensive surgeries.
My main question is, do all Bosley surgeries end up horrific or is it just the fact that they do 10s of thousands of them each year using different doctors. I mean the sheer number could be the cause of all the bad press.
Second, I know this is a young age to be performing the procedure but as all of you might know, balding greatly effects ones life. I can't stand it. So even though i know everyone is going to tell me not to do it ( because of age) is their really any true harm with getting it done.
Third, I am also in the Army Reserves. Is the scar on the back going to be a major issue?
