Hi all,
I had a consultation with Mick at Farjo the other week, which didn't quite go as I would have expected.
I paid a visit to the London office and had a good chat with Mick, who was a very nice person. I really didn't expect to be advised against having surgery!
I do have a quite a bit of hair still, but my hair line is not as far down as I would like and it's a lot thinner on top than would be preferred.
He recommended that I try drugs as they can reduce the thinning and in some cases can thicken up the hair.
I have looked at the drug route and if I'm honest it's not something I want to pursue.
I'm 32 and he told me that my hair will continue to thin as I age, which I expected anyway and also advised that if I have surgery that the current healthy hair could go in to shock and fall out. He also said that in the future it could start to look patchy and would require more surgery.
I like the fact that he seemed genuine and honest, as he could have quite easily said get the treatment and taken my cash. As always I thought of many questions after I left that I wish I had asked him, so I will send him an email with a few queries to try and get a better understanding of why he suggests that I don't do it.
Just wondering if anyone here has been advised against having surgery, but still gone ahead with it?
