notgoing2gobald

she's still the love of my life, but Im giving her a "time-out" cuz she doesn't currently realize what a damn charming couple we would make; hence the Kardashian pics---were *both* Armenian!!! BJ'S VS. HT('S): seriously, ht's are allowing men to have what was NATURALLY theirs. While I can understand a lil baby w/flap jack titties getting a minor BJ--and if she's cozy w/giving one then that is fine too--- (so she doesn't look like a 9 yr. old boy w/her top off) the vast majority of BJ cases (and god knows I've seen many of them ) are for women looking to get *huge* 'fun-bags'...While dude's suffering from MPB just don't want to look like a walking penis & want their NATURAL look back... Once again, if girls are cozy w/the BJ procedure ( ) Im all game! I wouldn't worry about it, and by *no* means would I tell some new date about it. If it's the *love* of your life, on the other hand, then that is a different story... BTW---fantastic man boob shots! Damn, I have another one, but you guys are going to be disgusted...oh well, that has never stopped me in the past. Here---hairy man-boobs!!! Click and enjoy! So, are you going to get a ht or a boob job? PS---only "click" if you have the utmost tollerance for hairy man boobs!!! AH-AHHAHHAHAHHAH!!! GOD IT'S GOLDEN!

Dr. Hasson is the only surgeon on this site you should go to! (just kidding )... #1 Shaving Head for Surgery--- yep! It sounds as though your a diffuse thinner (i.e. losing hair all over your balding pattern, not receding from front to back, or crown to middle) so, all TOP docs will require that you shave your head when transplanting w/in native hair. This ensures the docs a better read on the angle of hair growth, to minimize *transection* which could cause PERMANENT shock loss. So, it's really a no-brainer and the upswing is exponentially greater than the short term cost. #2 Most people would suggest at *least* a couple of days for recovery. Can you wear a hat at work to conceal the procedure for a few months? #3 Well you can't exactly go play a couple rounds of golf a la JoeDirt ( ) immediately after surgery. Most would suggest refraining from any physical activity which would put any undue strain or burden on your donor area (i.e. exercising, running, free-base diving off the empire state building) for at least two weeks, when the staples are removed. You can't sleep for 400 hours post op either. No, you can but it is recommended, by some, that you do so in a lazy type chair so as not to damage the grafts. You can shampoo only using caution. Your not "bandaged" up w/the exception of the staples in the back of your head you won't have any other bandages or anyting...and oh, yeah about five thousand little bloody slits across the top of your scalp. You can and will treat your transplanted hair just like you would your native hair after a couple of weeks; w/the exception of not overly exposing the new grafts and skin to the sun for a few months so as to ensure no damage while they grow in. "Can you tell me or point me to a site where all of these questions maybe are answered but not by a biased group. I am so wary of insiders giving information. You don't get the truth or you get half-truths."... Ugghhhhh...I think you just found it pal. I know what you mean though, when I first found this site I thought it was fake or something. I wondered: "Ummmm...what's up w/all these bald dudes sharing their pictures for the world to see?"...I thought they were all paid by the docs, but not to worry this isn't the case. If your truly a skeptic, then check out as many balding photo blogs as you can. These show the month by month growth and results the patients go through, which will put at ease even the greatest of conspiracy theorists...

another angle w/out the necklace. here you can get a better idea of how you might look w/out the pearls... now then, anymore 'hair-boob' shots anyone would like to consider for discussion?

Wait, w/all this discussion of 'hair-boob's I missed the initial question. Flyby, "Hair Transplants vs. Boob Jobs" are you on the fence as to which procedure you should put your money towards? Hmmm...I would say, since were on the cusp of summer, you will get more immediate gratification sporting a brand new rack ( ) yet at the same time, when winter comes a ht will keep your scalp warm...Hmmm...I just finished my pizza dinner, and Im about to foray into my post-dinner filet mignon w/garlic mashed potatoes followed by a post-post-dinner appetizer; I shall contemplate the proposal at the end of said meal. BTW---what size were you considering? Here's a lovely pair. I wouldn't go w/the necklace though, that might portray a sense of femininity and will give people the "wrong" idea about you; you do need to maintain your manhood irrespective of a pair of veloptous breasts

BA-AHAHAHHAHAHAAH!!!! your "after dinner snack" You have a snack after "dinnner"? YOWZAS! Do you have a post-dessert appetizer as well? You'd better watch it or your gonna end up a proud owner of your own set of hair-boobs... Gentlemen, in a discussion involving both 'hair' & 'boobs' the construct 'hair-boobs' is a logical postulate. I think this is a very under researched and discussed topic; one which is worthy of our consideration and can serve for the betterment of the balding bloggers. Can we please approach it w/a sense of maturity? Remember sex-ed in school? Please, lets discuss this w/an open mind... Now then, more 'hair-boobs' for our consideration...

BAAAHHAHAHHAHH!!!!! (PUCKER-UP BUTTER CUP!!!)

unfortunately I don't have a dirty mind, so I had to look up a pic to get an apt picture in my head. thought I would share w/the rest of you w/ 'clean-minds'... all you hair 'N boob fetishes, enjoy!

well if any of us is inclined to such a fantasy (hairy boobs) just double up on the propecia! Throw a few in the blender and fix yourself a Tranie shake!!! ok...this discussion is getting rather "hairy" and is beyond even me...

I don't know what I did last night but my condo smells like rotten milk...Hmmmmm...

I AM thE ChAmPiOn nOoOOo tImE foR lOsErs... I am tHe cHamPiOn (doOo dOo dEeEe dOo dEeeEeEeE)...

I like hair more than boobs...I guess the only thing better than hair or boobs, would be hair-boobs (?)

CHUCKY---yeah dude, he is the fuc$ing nutsos! He's the BEST!!! So, so, so funny!!! Sasha Cohen, he's Jewish though, no? That's one reason he's so fu$king funny! The irony of him making fun of "jews" and other's not even knowing he himself is Jewish...Oh, god he is just hysterical!!! BTW---you guys contributed the ROlling Stones a masterpiece in and of themselves!!!

Mmmm...sorry guys (dewayne) I like foreign pu$$y, hair jokes, and off topic-posts much more than the balding blog depressing stories of hair...

Flyby, great topic! While Im not in either of the categories you qualified a response from, my thoughts on the matter are as follows: BREAST IMPLANTS: while I can see a woman electing such surgery for various said reasons (i.e. "my clothes *fit* better" ..."I will feel more *confident*" ..."I just want to look the way I do w/my padded braw" ...) at the VERY least, a woman w/flap -jack titties can justify such a recourse; but as for the rest of them (i.e. those who do NOT look like a 9 year old boy w/their tops off) it is merely a BOOST to put them over the edge and gain extra attention; and as a result feel more confident about themselves as a person in general...personally, boob size is not important at *all*, so long as they don't look like a 9 year old boy w/their shirt off!!! I think a fundamental difference between the two is worth while noting: *we* ( men suffering from MPB) are merely attempting to attain what we *NATURALLY* had (i.e. hair); women who undergo boob jobs, are attempting to gain more than their natural state. A *HUGE* difference...I for one, would NOT tell a girl I just met or just recently began dating that I had a ht, if I had one...If it was a girl that I was in love with (either before or after) than THAT would be an entirely different story...

Wa-wA-WeE-wA' Funnies!!! God, I loved this show!!! It was Oh, *so*, so, SO funny before the movie hit main street. The movie was ridiculously NOT funny, but if any of you have NOT seen the series (on HBO) prior to the movie, then your seriously missing out. Season two was the FUCKING funniest thing I've ever seen! It lost all sense of comedic efforts in the film, as the funniest aspect was that people were unaware he was fucking w/them... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrkf4pEYRK0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LkzOMMBK70

Well, we've shared one misery together (balding) let's share another (BLUE BALLS)!!! This is what 18 New Castles at home on a Tuesday night gets you...Not a profitable venture to say the least; Hmmmm which strip clubs are still open? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG8znbM4nHw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btieN2DYVns http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9jsJn0m0so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYgF1lo9IhI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLPXqt4Q6ms\ Mmmmm yummy! The only thing better than hair is women! God, that one just blew my socks off! How do they possess such qualities that are such the antithesis of men & what we desire: nourishing full breasts, soft silky skin & hair, delightful childish playful demeneour...GOD it's sickening!!! Mmmmm...women are better than hair! and perhpas this is the only reason we want hair, not too mention materialistic goods; FUCK, I'd be happy living in a card board box w/that last luscious sultry seductress...(sighs) such is the life of man... this one is REAL revealing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM4Bt71eeew

TIH, single and double hair grafts are often spoken about w/a sense of superiority when compared to multi-hair grafts and rightly so; BUT such discussion is confined to the context of modern ht('s) methods in comparison to the old "plug-look"....this distinction is made *ONLY* w/respect to the hair line, as this is where multiple hair grafts stand out, giving it an unnatural "pluggy" look. Splitting naturally occurring multi-hair grafts in *all* other areas (apart from the hair line) would be a zero sum game, much like asking if you value a $100 bill more than five $20 bills; the total quantity is equivalent just as the total hair quantity would be equivalent in the graft scenario. Having said that, given the advent of lateral slits and the "shinling-effect" which are used to create the illusion of an exponential amount of greater coverage and density, I have personally wondered if single hair grafts used over the entire scalp in conjunction w/these techniques can afford better density and coverage in the hands of the proper surgeon; but this is both a speculation on my part, AND something which I have never heard any other input on.

Hey man, I remember you posting quite a while back. Your situation really sucks to say the least. If the doc ever offers to "fix-it" by giving you a complimentary procedure, RUN the other way! Though, judging by your post it seems you wouldn't even consider it, but thought I would mention it nonetheless. The worst part is that the doctor lowered your hair line considerably, leaving repair work by a *good* doc a challenging task. How is the scar? Your lucky on one front, that is that she only used up 1,200 of your precious, finite donor grafts. Although that's not much reconcilation, count those blessings. Did you ever try minoxadil again? I recall it previously gave you fantastic results. This time around, I would *only* go to a world class doc; Feller & Hasson come to mind. This is your second go at it, and you don't have enough donor to spare! Good luck, and keep us posted.

kevkristy, I feel for you as this must be *very* tough and require an exponential amount of patience. It's possible that your a late-bloomer, but I would expect to see *some* signs of growth at the six month mark. Were you exaggerating or have you truly not seen *any* hair grow in the transplanted area? Who was your doc? I would pick up the phone and give them a call directly. Your situation and concerns warrant a direct talk w/the doc, and perhaps your email just got lost in the bundle of so many others. Keep us posted.

Ok...it's bad enough when I have to endure women's self-serving statements about their beauty, but having to hear it from another dude? it just doesn't sit well...I'm sure your a real "stunning-beauty" of a man, but *please* allow the ladies to tell you. Compliments from one's own mouth never exemplifies attractive qualities. Or, if you like, you can "model" some photo's for us & we can take a vote on how beautiful ( ) you are!

Where you been NN? Too busy styling that new mop of yours to post lately?

yeah, hair loss sucks! It bothers *all* of us and that is why we're here. I know it can be more difficult at a younger age, but you too *can* get amazing results (if your a candidate), what we are suggesting is waiting a couple of years, going to a descent ethical doc LATER, and possibly trying out meds now. BTW---just how *bad* is your hair loss right now? Care to share a pic? It's possible, if it is relatively minor AND restricted to your hair line alone, that it is just a minor widows peak developing and you will not go bald. This can be fairly common among young men getting surges of testosterone at this age. To answer your questions above about meds: if your hair is naturally of a *thinner* caliber, meds will do nothing to alter their natural characteristics. But, if some of your hair is undergoing the thinning process of miniturization via MPB the meds (can) thicken them up. Some people get results from the meds on their top/hair line/temples but this is very rare and it is more common to get results on the vertex/crown area.

First off, no *ethical* surgeon will perform a ht on s 19 year old. Second, if your worried about the financial burden of meds, have you considered the financial burden of ht's in the future? Even if you wait until your at the ripe age of 21 you will most *assuredly* be chasing your hair loss for many years to come; resulting in multiple (2-3) ht in total...THAT can get expensive (i.e. 40K+) which will come in BIG chunks of change all at once, whereas meds are relatively inexpensive and spread out over time; as dakota stated about $30 a month. That's chump change compared to a ht. Additionally one can elect to discontinue their use at *any* time, whereas once you've taken the "plunge" of a ht, your married to it for the rest of your life and will need additional work unless your cozy w/the idea of having a hair line and a BALD head behind it. I completely feel for you as hair loss sucks at any age, let alone 19, but you should seriously contemplate *all* of the variables before moving forward, and by 'moving forward' I mean at LEAST waiting until your 21/22 or so, THEN if you are willing to commit yourself to the long road ahead, go forward by all means.

AaaaAAAA--- I don't *ever* WANNA HAIR again, guilty grafts have got no RYTHM.... Aaaa--- I don't *ever* WANNA HAIR agian,'the way I HAIRED W/YOUOOOO---OOH-OOH.... (doOoOOO----doo-deE-dOO-dee-DoO-dee-DoO-dEe doo-doo-doo doo dOOooOOOooOOooOOooOOO)
