Well, my name is Chris and I am 26 years old and Live in Buffalo, NY. I have experience hair loss since I was 17 or 18 years old. At age 19 I started taking Propecia (sorry for the misspelling) and I have all started taking Rogaine. I am still taking Propecia and I am trying to take Rogaine at least once a day. its hard to keep up on the regiment.
Anyways, I noticed my hair is slowly going bald. I have been thinking if I should get a hair transplant. I have been thinking about this for the last year and a Half. Now I just graduated from college, I have more time looking into this matter. So today I went to a local hair clinic who does transplants. I am just doing the research in pricing and finding what is the best situation for me. He told me the price range of my 6,500-11,000 bucks. he claims all the hair that he would plant would grow back, but he says that even though it would grow back he said there would some thin areas. Than he went on pushing this new idea that they have been doing is a non surgical procedure that involves hair grafting. It's a very expensive procedure to do because it cost 4500 every year to maintain it.
I see all of these commercials and ads about all of these hair transplant places such as bosley and all but my goal is to find the right procedure to do, the right Dr. to do it, and at the right cost. Now I got another question I know hair transplants are a risky surgery to do is the success rate of them better than they once were? Does anyone have any suggestions what I should do. Has anyone heard of Dr. Quatela and is he a good DR? He is the closest one in my area? Or is there another Dr. I should look into? Sorry for the long post. I just hope I can find some answers. I am just sick and tired of living my life inside of a hat.
