I see a lot of discussion about the amount of coverage and graft sizes. We all want the max coverage, but we have to consider our budgets also.
I having be "noticing" my hair loss for the past 10 years and agonized every day about how disguise my ever increasing receding hairline. Hair cuts were a chore because I never knew if a hair cut was going to show more of my "less" hair.
I decided to look in to transplantation a few years ago and got "sticker" shock. I didn't expect the cost of the procedure.
A few years went by and I spent more and more time concern and "preoccupied" with my hair.
I finally decided to look at this in a whole new way. I spent hundreds of dollars a year for a gym membership and thousands for clothing to feel and look better. I buy cream for my face and have spent thousands bleaching, root-canals and crowns for my teeth. So, why am I so bothered buy spending money on a hair transplant?? BINGO, this is really just like anything else we do for ourselves to look and feel better. It is really just maintenance for yourself.
I think the important thing to find the right doctor and than worry about the cost, the cost really should be secondary to your decision. Sure, I know it is a lot of money but, over a few years it is just like a gym membership or new clothing or a car. So, I think it really important not look for the cheapest and promises of hair of 18-year-old and focus on the Doctors and make sure they are the best our dollars can buy.
I'm really troubled that people would leave the US to have this sort of proceadure.
