Haven't Logged in Here in Over 6 Years. Success Story with Pics!

[Ja-Man]

I just want to let them know that their minds can change. What seems so important now may not be so important in a matter of a just a few years.

 

So very true. I see hair loss in a different light now versus 5 yrs ago in my mid-20's. Let's face it, hair loss is natural in men, versus HT's that can "look" natural in most conditions. Great thread for the younger guys. The problem w/ HT's for young guys is that it sets them up for a lifelong battle with mother nature. Thanks for sharing your story.

[thanatopsis_awry]

It's a lifelong battle with "mother nature" whether you get the HT or not, the playing field is just a bit different; whatever you choose should be the choice that you are best equipped to handle and live with.

 

And, yes, it *is* true that the lens we look at hairloss -- and most anything -- changes over time (specifically, as we age). This is actually a central point in why the fruits of HTs are the sweetest when transforming someone the younger they are. Ideally, we would all get HTs when we are 70; however, a general but clearly accurate assumption is that HTs matter more the younger you are.

 

And, hairloss might be natural but so are a billion other things (including death) that aren't desirable and clearly can warrant serious efforts to stave off.

I don't doubt for a second that you are here to help nor that i doubt your sincerity. We need more of you guys here than the shills from HLH or Hairsites.

 

However, i happen to think that both of you may be lying to yourself. With a little knowledge of social psychology, you would understand what your are doing is to resign to the fact that you will never have hair, and as such, you are changing your mindset to fit your action (you can't have hair). It is called trying to reduce cognitive dissonance. An example would be like someone who are hesitating between two cars (car A and car B), and finally chooses car A. After buying car A, he has buyer remorse, but knows that the contract is signed and he can't get car B. He, therefore, conditions himself to view car A in a much better light (than before signing the contract) in order to fit with his action. Another example would be when people are saying: money can't buy happiness! (because most of time, these people don't have any money anyway). Or being dumped by the woman you love, and then say that she is not good for you anyway by finding/inventing reasons that were not there in the first place.

 

Wolfman, what you are doing is forcing yourself to like your shaven look. That includes finding reasons (risk, scar, money etc) for not having HT, including posting the happiness found with your look. It is all good, and i am certainly happy for you being happy about yourself. But again, don't preach us like if you are only the one who sees the light.

 

Latin lotus thats a good analysis to an extend and you know what... thats THE CURE.

 

You spoke with honesty and i will do the same no matter what many might think. Hair transplants and drugs are not the cure because they dont give your hair back!!!they just keep you sick(in a way).I will use your example about being dumped from the woman you love...you are right that your mind needs reasons to get over her and you know what... thats healthy so that you can move on.She dumped you so she didnt want to be with you then she was not right for you...the analogy of a transplant and drugs in this situation is not finding a new one and be happy....its trying to get the same one back and obsessing about her.

 

the example about the car...You bought the wrong car and you cannot change it not unless you loose money that you need and maybe you can spend them in other things.Thats a healthy attitude to see the pros of your car and not wishing for something that you cant have and be mizerable about it and never enjoy the car you have because you dream of the other one.

 

the same about money cant buy happiness.Of course money can help and make things even easier but what???if you cant be rich you will never enjoy your life and live in the mizery of trying to be?

 

 

you dont undertsand something its not about forcing yourself to like the shaved look, its about forcing yourself to be cured from this OBSESSION.Do you think we dont opt for a transplant because we cant buy it???Or that we are afraid of going into surgery and have a scar?Its all about what these drugs and transplants can do- the positive and the negative...and its still negative in my opinion, on the other hand most bald people just buzz it down short so its mainstream and even trendy.If a better solutions comes i am all for it...

 

EdiT:Please bare i mind i am not talking about people who are 35 to 40 and up and got bored of being bald and decided to add some hair and build a hairline and look better.I am talking about the idea of chasing your hairloss with drugs and transplants from a younger age.

Exactly, balody! It's the same ol' look, day after day. After 15 years, I was ready for a change as well. I think as we get older, our expectations change as well. I'm not looking for a hailine of a 16 year old. I'm comfortable with having thinner hair on my head. I just don't want a shiny scalp! Would I have been happy back in my early 20' with what is possible to achieve? I highly doubt it. So yes, I agree that most young men should wait. It is incredibly difficult at that age, becuase that is precisely the time when you feel you need it! But as others have stated, your priorities change as you get older. I have gone through this procedure for my own satisfaction. It wasn't so I could bag more chicks (and believe me, I still did plenty of that when I was younger with some not-so-great hair). Unfortunately, the younger you are, the more important it seems. Also, when you get older, the money usually isn't nearly as big of a hurdle as when you're young. Ahh, the cruel irony...

[latinlotus]

The problem w/ HT's for young guys is that it sets them up for a lifelong battle with mother nature.

 

a lifelong of working out to be in shape,

a lifelong of eating healthy food to reduce risk of disease,

a lifelong of brushing teeth,

and of course a lifelong of shaving your head every other day...

 

at least with HT, once hair is grown out, i can (hopefully) forget about hair for the next 10 years, maybe more. In any case, it seems like it is the behaviors of many posters here...they just move on after HT.

[thanatopsis_awry]

90% of the time when I think about my hair it is with pride and pleasure in styling it when I go out; another 9% is when I am on here reading/responding and it hits me that I didn't always have this hair; 1% is when I think my hair looks thin for whatever reason and I wish I had a bit more.

 

Over my lifetime I will undoubtably be back in the proverbial chair at least once more; is this chasing my hairloss or simply defeating it? If anything, I would view a constant shaving of the head the true life-long battle w/ hairloss (as Latinlotus points out), while also succumbing to its effects and indefinitely altering your actions and outlook around it.

 

It's a case by case basis, but the general -- and most important -- assumption that can be made is that HTs can be an amazingly effective and transformitive remedy for many, even (if not especially) the young. Is it perfect? No. Is it a panacea? Nope. But this shouldn't detract from it often being the best decision and move available.

[Bill - Seemiller]

This is certainly turning into an interesting discussion isn't it?

 

I think what we have to remember is that circumstances impact people differently. Why is it that two people can witness the same tragedy and months later, one suffers from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the other doesn't? Why is it some moderately overweight people develop eating disorders while some extremely overweight people are still confident in how they look and who they are? It's how we view circumstances, not the circumstance itself that makes all the difference.

 

As someone with a master's of science in counseling, I do agree that sometimes how we interpret our circumstances needs to be reshaped and crafted into a healthier outlook on life. On the other hand, sometimes removing the object of obsession is necessary to heal.

 

As another example, part of counseling a man addicted to pornography would be to encourage them remove temptation from their life which may include restricting access to the internet, removing premium television, avoiding strip clubs, etc.

 

Working on both the "inner" man and "outer" man is often a part of healthy therapy. To help the "inner" man, cognitive restructuring is often necessary to help a person develop new beliefs and perspectives on themselves and their world. Meanwhile, helping the "outer man" may mean removing the object of obsession from their lives if possible.

 

Back to hair - for many, hair loss sometimes becomes the source of high levels of anxiety or even severe depression. If the object of obsession is hair loss, removing hair loss from the equation (by restoring it) may help restore a person's confidence to some degree. Meanwhile, a counselor can help a person work through their inner struggles, emotions, thoughts, circumstances that shaped their beliefs and help them formulate new ones, etc.

 

That said, not everyone needs therapy while struggling with hair loss, usually only those who allow hair loss to prevent them from living their lives (avoiding social activities, romantic encounters, etc). But for those who's hair loss bothers them just enough to want to restore as much of it as possible, hair restoration might be for them - similar to how someone struggling with their weight may want to go to the gym or someone with acne may want to try the best treatments to clear their complexion.

 

In my personal experience, hair transplant surgery helped me get on with my life. The more hair I lost, the more I struggled with my appearance, and thus, my confidence. If anything, hair loss itself made me more obsessed. Hair restoration surgery removed the object of my obsession (baldness) and made me feel better about the way I looked.

 

Now, I can comfortably go out without a hat and feel confident in how I look whereas before, I wouldn't be caught dead without a hat. The "problem" is in my mind just as how everyone here views hair loss and coping with it differently in their own minds.

 

We won't come to a consensus here whether it's better to shave your head or get a hair transplant. The good news is, there are options, and ultimately, people really need to educate themselves and choose what's best for themselves.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill

That's it Lotus. That's the ticket. This is exactly what one needs to do. You're trying to paint it with a negative brush, but the message is there.

 

What you left out in your example (in order to parallel our discussion) is that Car A is well within the buyer's price range and requires minimal maintenance. You can depend on Car A to look and perform the same every day. On the other hand, the buyer (especially a younger one) would most likely have to take out a large loan to purchase Car B and it may require lots of expensive maintenance in addition to the high purchase price. You also get the added bonus of excessive worrying about the dependabilty and appearance of Car B for the rest of your life.

 

I said earlier that yes I would be lying if I said I didn't prefer having a full head of hair over shaving. But I have yet to see a hair transplant that restores a full head of hair, it's technically impossible and everyone knows it. So I've moved on.

 

If you're saying that myself and others like me have conditioned ourselves to view baldness as the preferred "hairstyle" then yes, we have. In addition, I've also conditioned myself to be happy in a three bedroom house instead of a 9 bedroom mansion, and to be happy driving a Honda instead of a Ferrari. I suppose I would be happier driving that Ferrari, but you're right, I'm just LYING to myself that I like my Honda. I'm such a tortured soul.

You sure that girl is still with you ? .

The last thing I would be doing right now is posting on any forum let alone a hair transplant forum if I was happy being bald.

Anyway there are good points on both sides and if you guys can save a guy out of the thousands that will probably ignore this thread then I suppose its worth it.

its safe to say this is the first post ive seen of yours that is just plain dickish........ the guy comes to share what worked for him and what HAS worked for many others and you turn it against him by telling him that if he was really happy he shouldnt be hear at all??? pretty silly IMO

 

you come off like your trying to paint his words as useless to the forum and your doing so just because you cannot relate to his views

 

the only thing you got right is that there ARE good points being made on both sides, making this thread of benifit to those tying to decide what side of the fence they are on... your more than likely not correct when you attempt to make it seem as though "thousands" are just skipping past this thread. this thread is being seen man.

LMS I said I know I ,YES I wouldnt be on here and it was basically saying his girl is fine and I wouldnt be on here .

Wonder why you never thought my post about Armani arent dickish, hmmmmmmmmm cause those were truly dickish.

I know you have been sent here to be the savior and are one bitter mutha but dont read too much into my comment because it doesnt ride along with your feelings.

 

OOOOOO Stay away, your life will be ruined ,youll be stuck on here begging for help .

Come on dude just because you got tricked by Bosley doesnt mean every clinic is out to get guys ,and doesnt educate them .

I saw your pics on hlp and though they arent that bad I understand why your so miserable . Ive been there bud,

Well ,where are all the posts thanking you for you saving them a life of misery.

By the way who the hell are you determine what I say is right or wrong.

Who crowned you King . From what Ive read from you who just seem like a weasely little punk that is bitter and loves to yell in CAPS!!!! This is officially my second dickish post so write it down .

Oh yeah Im actually in a great mood Now go ahead we can take this to a whole new level ,Im game.

[KlotzConchord]

Come on guys, let's not turn this thread into an argument between you two. LMS, I appreciate your post on my behalf, but I didn't read his post that way. PGP, I wasn't offended by your post, I read and understood it completely. Yes my wife is still with me. She's read most of this thread. Believe it or not, she's a hairdresser (until she finishes college to be a physical therapist).

 

Let's keep this thread civil.

[Atomic]

Wolfman, The good thing is that you still appear young.

I think thats why a lot of us get a HT, to remain youthful looking.

You have no problem there, hair or no hair.

And yes you are lucky guy, your wife is a very pretty girl!

Congrats & thanks for your success story.

[Mr. GQ]

i see what's wrong with all this should i or shouldn't i get a HT thing. just like lms, hopefull, and many others see it.

it's because too many guys (young and old) have their head buried in sand and are playing ostridge. then there are others that drink kool-aid all day and keep encouraging each other. if it was otherwise everybody would be praising HTs and 90% of bald people would be getting HTs right this second. that's why i'm still holding back and waiting for few more doctors to adopt FUE or that HM becomes reality. so it all boils down to this, itis all about that bloody SCAR that will stay with you till the rest of your life and many people just don't want, can't, and simply refuse to have.

here is another quote that I find rings so true imo (2nd today ):

 

"Strip and fue both have their place. I think the person that started this thread just meant to emphasise that fue is here to stay.

The sooner strip only clinics reconcile to this fact, the better it will be for all.

Unfortunately, I think that will not be the case. This thread exemplifies it.

 

Its the repitition of history.

In 1980's, a Brazilian doctor first came up with the concept of micrografting v/s plug grafts.

 

He used to offer 1000 micrograft session in contrast to the 50 - 100 4mm plug graft sessions that were the rage in US at the time.

His patients were happy with the naturalness of the results. However, for a decade, doctors of various countries, US included, were against this approach of micrografts.

 

The reasons they gave were -

1. It will be too expensive for the patients (they used to charge USD 20/- per plug graft).

2. A row of plug grafts will give a "wall of hair" effect that will look better then the 1000 micrografts.

 

 

The real reason was -

They would have to retrain their staff, charge less per graft and work more overall to earn the same fee.

 

 

Those that know the history of hair transplant will recognise what I am saying.

 

Many strip only doctors and clinics will do anything to discredit fue because its recognition will mean a major discomfort to them.

 

We do strip as well as fue. Everyday. I base my above statement on that basic fact.

 

Regards and a happy 2009,

Dr. A"

 

so all you doctors that are reading this post please step-up your game because we are really getting fed up here.

 

GQ

[PLEASE GROW PLEASE]

Wolfman thanks for having a sense of humor and being able to recognize a compliment .

I dont want this thread to a back and forth thing between me and LMS unless of course thats his intention

Ill be man enough and say sorry to LMS for my comments

 

 

Im not willing to stick up for the hair industry as a whole when the coward ass docs and consultants wont.

Im also not going to jump ship and flipflop back and forth because someone may believe they are the hair Messiah ,and know all.

There are so many things that factor in whether getting a transplant is a good idea or not.

Just to say shave it and be done with it doesnt mean crap to a big percentage of hairloss sufferers.

Like I said before I bet 99.9% of the guys that have visited this site have shaved their head either short or bald one time or another.

Too many people want to put on a Miss Cleo outfit and predict doom and gloom for everyone that goes the transplant route.

 

Hey I had a bad scar , I got butchered by a clinic .

As some of you know I spent 3 years of my life delivering books to Richard Speck, John Wayne Gacy and a bunch of other fools because I made the bad choice of delivering the pain I had inside to my consultant jaw.

I hustled in the streets at 18 for Gods sake to pay to get butchered.

I was broke and had to live with plugs in the early to mid 20s . I had over 100 caps . I lost the love of my life ,my freedom , my desire to live ,and most importantly my SWAGGER

I went from 7 collegiate scholarships to play ball to washing my draws in a stainless steel toliet practically overnight

I know what hatred is to the fullest extent . I became an animal that made the world pay for what I thought was a raw deal.

Im over all the silly pain but hatred still lives in me for what I went through.

So if anyone should be so bitter I should be at the top somewhere

What I cant accept is anyone thinking Im a shill or advocate for this shady ass industry when Im just trying to help.

I also dont just go along for the ride like some .

There are a ton of success stories and a ton of disaster stories out there thats why its so important to research your ass off.

Take your age , balding pattern, family history , donor density ,expectations , future financial situation , and a whole list of other concerns in consideration before even considering surgery.

 

I tell my clinic all the time I cant stand 75% of the docs on here, let alone the Bosleys of the world.

All Im trying to say and do on here is lead the guys who are determined to go the surgery route to a place that will ACTUALLY care for them in every fashion.

Yes I would love to pimp slap a huge majority of these docs and thats why Im always giving them a tough time when warranted

Like Mr GQ said up your game . Ive said those exact words a few times.

To sit here and just bash surgery because of your own agenda is just selfish.

To help educate people about the potential downfalls is much more productive.

Ill say it again ,try what Wolfman has encouraged you to do and if thats not doable then there are guys that are willing to take time out to lead you in the right direction.

If I didnt have zippers all over my head I would have shaved also but I know there are a ton of guys that shaving is not an option.

 

I hope my doc doesn't get mad but I copied a small part of his email to me when I asked why he doesn't match the online presence of some of the clinics on here. If he does get upset Im not too worried as Im 5 times bigger then him

If every clinic thought this way there wouldnt be so much controversy.

==================================

 

I think it is great that other Docs are getting popular??¦..5 years ago there were not many other good docs One of my goals by teaching so much every year and letting people visit was the hope that others would start to do good work

 

Now some are. Some do good work and are caring??¦some do good work and are more businessmen??¦.but at least it is better

 

 

 

As far as our internet reputation I think what has happened is this

 

We have done almost O marketing or calculated internet presence over the years. We have not needed or really wanted to be seen as trying to get patients.

 

We have been busier than ever but my intentions have never been to grow into a big busy clinic. I wanted to just consistently do the best work possible

[thanatopsis_awry]

Excellent post.

[wesley949]

I tottaly understand. My brother looks great with his shaved head. I have told him he should not even consider a hair transplant. In my case, it actually took my sons to get me motivated or I would have never gotten a transplant at the time I did. I was concerned about them and took them to see a top rated HT doctor not for a HT but to talk about what options (medicines, etc) were available. While there, he also examined me. I had had bad transplants done years ago when I was much younger, knew nothing about the technology and was freaked out about losing my hair---that was one of the worst decisions I had ever made--eventually I just cut my hair extremely close, stayed in great shape and got on with my life--It was great when I accepted the situation. The one thing that bothered me though were the old plugs in my crown-they were visible no matter how short my hair. After seeing results in person and seeing the skill of the surgeon--I decided I wanted the old plugs out--while he was at it I also decided to add hair to my head. I think the look everyone should want is "healthy" and you look healthy and you have a head like my brother's that looks good shaven. I see guys all the time that have a full head of hair that look bad. I also see guys that have very little hair that look super. This was a good post and will help younger guys to undertstand that losing their hair really is not the end of the world.

Do you think your views would be different if you went to one of the so called "Top Docs" and waited to you were in your late 30's or early 40's to get a HT?

 

this is a good question crow1 the best way i can answer it is yes and no.... my work was not very good, but im FAR from disfigured. and actually confident without a hat on in MOST situations..im not miserable. (despite what the occasional badass might say who cant take criticism without poppin back ).. however i feel VERY MUCH the way i do about HTs on young guys for reaons other than my own personal experience... this is why i try not to talk about my personal case much cause the fact i went to bosley draws the same stupid s*** from guys sayin things like "Come on dude just because you got tricked by Bosley doesnt mean every clinic is out to get guys"... and thats fine.. they are right, i did... HOWEVER, this industry is full of bull sh*t outside bosley, and MHR... ive talked to alot of YOUNG guys like myself online, over the phone, through PMs, a few in person over the last couple years, this is how ive formed my opinion... i also believe that if you look online long enough the writing IS ON THE WALL.. the limitations are still many and lies are being told to these guys.. there are many guys who set a real game plan, WAIT til their hairloss progresses, and are CONTENT with a thin or thinning look but overall improvement... THESE GUYS have far fewer risks if the choose the HT route. i do my best to separate the two when i share my opinions but its not always easy...

 

lets say i went to Feller, and got a result much like T awry.. a very nice result... would i be more happy? prob. but i would still have man of the future problem i currently have with MY WORK regardless. which is why as great as his work is he KNOWS hes not done with this fight, hell Bills, not even done with this fight, NIC NITRO(from a post i read from him) is glad he has some donor in his back cause he knows he may not even be done.

 

wolfman IS done.. thats all im saying... if you wanna ever be DONE with this bull shit his is the only proven way.. you will have to 'work' with your transplantS for the rest of your life... this doen not mean you should not get them, but you should be aware that even the jaw dropping amazing results, which as a whole are FEW and far between, have density issues, AND styling issues.

 

PGP-- you acting like a cock to a scumbag dr. and you acting like a cock to a dude that is pretty much on your side are two different things IMO. i REALLY dont want to go into why tho. but perhaps i misread you comment and made more out of it then i should have..... tell ya what big guy, ill fall in line and never ever ever, go against anything you say for any reason.... nobody made me king, thats your title.... you lion you...i was not thinking with my last post and i will dicipline myself for you. promise

[PLEASE GROW PLEASE]

LMS first of all if anyone did it was you that came across as the "bad ass"

towards me checking me and basically calling me a dick when I was just messing around

You acted like the drunk guy at a high school party who would say if your gonna fight my boy ,youll have to fight me first ,and then gets his teeth smashed down his throat.

Now hes eating with fake chompers and finds out later there was no problems between the two guys anyway

You are still believing I was a jerk when THE MAN HIMSELF didnt ,when you say I might of read too much into it .

No theres no might, you did. The next time you want to call me out though please dont call me dickish if possible I like jackass better.

 

Im probably the first guy that welcomed you privately to this board so understand I like you but was just defending myself from your comments and hold no grudges.

Let me have it when justified but please dont assume Im being a dick if I go against the grain a little on any thread, or make a silly comment.

 

Also you know you would be more happy with Thana results though ,come on man Keep it real

If you read his posts youll see he went into this knowing and preparing for all the worries that your constantly trying to drive home .

He has a game plan and understands what the best route is and is taking it to assure himself he will never kick himself in the ass.

At the very worst hell have alot of hair front -mid scalp with a thinner crown at 50

Wolfman says he rather have hair so hes not completely free as you say but has moved on, accepted and grown to like his shaved head.

One thing that really caught my atttention is when you said 'there watching man " or something like that when I said people will ignore this because they have already tried to shave.

That just tells me your true intentions on here are to just steer people away .

Thats fine with me as this site doesnt pay me jack but keep it real at least . Let the world know loud and clear that LMS is COMPLETELY against transplant on anyone.. You would get more respect that way.

Anyway this is silly so Im done . I know your a good guy and Im still glad your here

LMS and PGP,

 

I've heard the bell ring and all 15 rounds are over. The judges have declared it a tie and you are now both the heavy weight champions of the world :-).

 

Seriously, I think this thread has a lot of interesting information in it. Let's not pollute it with continued fighting.

 

Let's bring it back on topic now so interested parties don't get lost in the mud.

 

Bill

[PLEASE GROW PLEASE]

Bill though I appreciate the art of boxing and dont miss many fights.

This is 2009 and MMA has taken over.

I would rather see it as a first round unintentional low blow by LMS then me cranking my choke hold trying to get him to tap with the bell saving his ass.

No seriously this thread has alot of good points .

The most important one is to try the shaved look before even considering a transplant.

 

If you can pull it off and dont look like you have a pack of hotdogs on the back or its not shaped like Family guy ET the coneheads , or scarred up , or any of the weird shapes we have seen then you can save yourself alot of time and money that transplants and haircuts cost.

Problem is most of us have tried that thats why we are here.

[hopefull]

PGP you are very agressive, relax

[Bill - Seemiller]

This is 2009 and MMA has taken over.

 

Good point, and besides, the MMA is actually a lot more interesting. In today's boxing matches, the guys seem to be doing a lot more hugging than fighting anyway

 

Sorry...back to the purpose of the thread.

 

Everyone just has to respect that not everyone is going to share the same viewpoint on this. I've personally advised people to try shaving their head first to see if it was for them before deciding to get a hair transplant. Some decide that shaving is the way to go, and some really just don't like the way they look bald. I fell into the latter category.

 

There is no "one size fits all" hair loss solution. The sooner people recognize this, the less likely people will be to try to persuade others that their solution is the only viable one.

 

This community is about educating balding men and women about today's solutions, the ones that work, and the ones that claim to work.

 

Let's use and enjoy it for what it is and support one another with the decisions we've all made to battle baldness.

 

Bill

Hahaha Your right hopefull . Im so frickin hyper at times its a nuts.
