I had a hair transplant almost 2 years ago.
I was not bald, just receding. I thought that I would be ahead of the game getting a transplant. I did one transplant and was shocked when all of my previous hair fell out on the top of my scalp after surgery. The doctor failed to mention this would happen. I was able to get a work hat to cover my barren scalp and a few people asked why I was wearing a hat... but I pulled it off without anyone knowing. The doctor then put me on a prescription of Propecia ($80 per month ouch!!) and said that any hair on the top of my head that was not a transplant would fall out.
What sucks is that I could have taken a combo of Scalp Med (it really works for hair regrowth) and propecia and saved myself $10,000 on a transplant. Now I am forced to take the Propecia monthly with the side affect of a low sex drive.
Since I am in sales, my hair is very important to me, but so is my sex drive... Anyone have any alternative suggestions besides two more transplant surgeries??
