CopaSurfer, great post, I agree with what you say. Whilst I am aware that right now may not be considered the "right time" for me to have a hair transplant in terms of hairloss development, I believe it is the right time for me in terms of when I'd appreciate it most. I am in my early 20's and don't want to spend any more time being so anxious and unconfident when I should be enjoying myself!

Another point to consider: For me anyway, I realise that (based on family history), over time I will lose MOST of my hair, and I also realise that no amount of surgery/treatment will ever allow me to maintain a full head of hair for an indefinite period. The main reason I want a hair transplant is for confidence, confidence when dating, confidence when I start looking to perhaps get married (could be soon). I don't think however that once I am married that I will be AS concerned about my hair loss as I am now. Does this not come into account when deciding whether or not to give young men (perhaps even those as young as 20) a hair transplant? In a nutshell, myself, and I'm sure others, want to look as good as they can whilst they are young, and do not care so much about future hair loss.

This is useful information johhnyboy as I'm considering going to meet with Dr. Saifi. Did you meet him before you had the operation? i'm guessing a consultation is compulsory? also, why did you have to wait around 3 days after the operation if you don't mind be asking. Thanks
