EEK! MHR From your description, it sounds like it should work out for you. Good luck!

Hi I made a short little movie called "Death of a Follicle" It's really sad, so be forwarned I also made it my avatar. Oscar material?

Just on the pure chance you have not read any of my other posts. HT consultants and doctors are not like regular docs. When you visit a regular doc you pay if your sick, not sick, he cures you, gives you a shot, or sends you to someone else. You pay to be in a room with him. Allot of young guys, myself included, visit HT doctors and do not realize that HT doctors are losing money when they talk to you. They only make money when they are cutting into your scalp. Their goal is to spend as little time as possible needed to get you under the knife. That's why they hire consultants, to do most of the dirty work. Consultant are on bonus plans. It's against the law to pay them straight commission. But it's pretty much the same thing. My point, when you enter a HT doctors' office, every minute they spend talking to you they lose money. They only make money when they get you under the knife. Remember that when you visit any HT doctor. What's in your best interest is not neccessarly in theirs. I got my HT work at your age. Biggest, biggest, biggest, mistake in my life. They should have rejected me, but an empty chair brings in no money. So they mislead me in many, many ways. The doctor was Dr. Paul Straub at www.bosley.com. Over the years I lost about 3 times as much hair. My hair loss slowed in my early thirties. I was about as bald as you at 25. By 40 I had the hair of Peter Boyle on "Everyone Loves Ramon." Good luck with what ever you.

How old are you David Letterman? You look real young. Bye the way I am starting to suspect that some of the posters here work for www.zieringmedical.com. I have no hard proof yet. But it's beginning to become clear. Beware when anyone recommends them. P.S. In my opinion, www.zieringmedical.com is a pretty unethical group. They actually do HT work on 20 year olds and younger. Kinda just like Bosley and MHR. Sending fake posters here to talk them up is right up their alley.

Who did your first work? How old are you?

I really have nothing else to add. At this point only time can teach you what you will wish you had known "right now at this point/time in your life". I truly hope I am totaly wrong. Good Luck for real.

I just gotta say this. No doctor with any ethics would do work on a 20 year old kid. Especially a <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>expert hair transplant specialists An empty chair means no business. HT doctors need to keep their chairs full. The worse the doctor, the harder it is to fill the chair, the more unethical work they are willing to do. It's a nasty cycle that is financially driven. Most people, my self included, would never believe a doctor would mis-lead you for their own financial gain. But HT doctors like all doctors have overhead. They have to pay their bills. Unlike conventional doctors, HT doctors usually only make money if and when they operate. Patient consultations are a financial burden. The chair is where the money is. Gotta keep the chairs full and the scalps bleeding. If operating on a kid who really believes stretches your ethics a little but gets the bills paid then why not? If all goes well, the kid might not regret it for over 10 years. By then the doc will be retired or moved on. Personally, on merits alone I would have the doctor who operated on you sent to jail for at least one year. Whether or not your work comes out O.K. or not. IT IS UNETHICAL IN MY OPINION TO DO HT WORK ON ANYONE UNDER 25 AND IN MOST CASES 30 YEARS OF AGE. [This message was edited by MeHairBeGrowin on February 25, 2004 at 04:32 PM.]

Look me up in 10 years. You can tell me you told me so. Right now you have to much of a stake in the game to be objective. Good Luck and I really mean it.

I guess you don't read any of my post. You should read this thread. Read this. I'll make sure I put Ziering on my list, thanks. Good luck with your hair for real.

Where did you get your HT work done "Why Me"? What state do you live in?

I put a picture of a hair growing from a 20 year old dormant/bald follicle up in the future section on the bottom. If you think it's bullshit, then please come see it in person or send a friend. They or you will leave convinced. IT's REAL. IT REALLY, REALLY IS!

Men's Hair Restoration. They are a rip off clinic like Bosley. Like Bosley they have offices, plague like, through out the USA. Their doctors are cast off losers who can't find work anywhere else and want to make a quick buck. My guess is most doctors who work for these places are sociopaths like Bosley and Straub, no ethics, Their goal is to fill their chairs and maximize the use of their staff. Full utilization of chairs and staff in turn provides a very profitable revenue stream that they can dip into and get rich. As well as refuel the informercial program and begin the cycle all over. They do their best to lure in anyone they can. Typically attendance, i.e. showing up, is all you need to do in order to be an acceptable candidate for surgery; to young, not enough hair, etc, none of those things matter. What is important to them is to get you in the chair and milk your wallet until dry. If your HT ends up looking OK great, if not tough shit, read the fine print budy. When is comes to the surgery itself, they spend then minimum on equipment and pay staff crap. This way they keep cost down. Only the surgeons and the Sales staff (Consultants) make good money and only when someone is in the chair. The rest of the staff is low paid, overworked, poorly supervised with high turnover (But profitable). This results in poor training and poor quaility work. So even, if by a miracle you found a doctor with some skill in one of these clinics, there is the strong likely hood that the people doing the majority of the work will screw something up. Repeat business is not an issue because it takes about a year in most cases to realize you have been screwed in the ass. By then it is usually to late to sue and they have milked you for all they can for the year, so they want nothing to do with you anymore. Even sadder is if their lucky, after a year you will call and say their work sucks, then they will convince you they can solve the problems with more work, there by tapping into you wallet for another year. This they will try to repeat year after year until you stop believing them. They don't really worry about word of mouth, because most guys are so embarressed and ashamed with what they let these clinics do to them hide in there homes and under hats. (It's kinda like going to a party and getting drugged and then ganged raped by your so-called friends. It is very shamfull and hurtfull internally to the individual) Their new business comes from informercials not word of mouth. I realize this sounds saracastic, but it is really how they operate. That's why the doctors need to be sociopaths like Bosley and Straub. Else, in the end they can't deal with the results of their work. Most doctors at these clinics last less then 2 years. Their consciences catch up with them and they leave. The ones that stay at it are the true sociopaths like Bosley and Straub. Go to any of the clinic sites, and see how long the average doctor has been working there. Track one down who left and ask them about everything I have just written.

Over the last 3 weeks my temple hair got thicker and took over another 1/4" of forehead scalp. [This message was edited by MeHairBeGrowin on February 14, 2004 at 05:32 PM.]

Looks like most people regret their HT for one reason or another. That does not suprise me. For most people it is a major mistake. For most people, HT's do not solve their Hair loss problem they only make it worse. A lot of people want to believe that their HT will fix the problem. I believed that, mind you bosely.com did their best to convince me of that.

Going to that dude is worse then going to Bosley. Going to bosley is like going to McDonalds for prime rib. Except bosley will destroy/butcher your hairline for life. McDonalds will only screw up one meal. 80% plus of all Bosley customers regret walking in Bosley's door 2 years after the day bosley first began butchering their scalp. The odds are stacked against you that you would be happy with any work you get from Bosley or MHR.
