Is Getting A Hair Transplant Worth It?


Recommended Posts

  • Administrators

There's been a lot of threads popping up recently of members asking whether or not a hair transplant is worth it. Our job on the forum is not to convince anyone to get a hair transplant. Our job is to educate them and let them make an informed decision. Below is a video with several talking points that hopefully will help all of you decide whether or not you want to pursue surgery.

I tried my best to pay attention to what you were actually saying without contemplating how many grafts could be extracted from that nice thick beard. ADHD sucks. 

I’ve been told by Dr. Pradeep Sethi at least 1,500, and I could still grow a beard. We shall see, stay tuned 😁

I think you came long way @Melvin-Moderator . Your results are excellent. I have learnt a lot about HT after my own HT only. There are lot of Pros and Cons of HT. Some of the Cons which I have gone through I will be posting on my thread very soon. People should do proper research before making up their mind so they don't get stress after HT and finally one thumb rule for all the folks who are reading this just remember your hair issue will not be fixed in one go. If you need perfect results it will require multiple surgeries. I am afraid one is not enough specially if your age is between 25 and 45.

Your hairline is very v shaped and it look great on you. Who decided on the design, you or your doctor? Also, do you think the v shape can work for everyone?

 

Btw, what's up with that beard man, looking ultra thick, are you using some products there too? lol

I wanted a v shape so I could have the lowest point of the hairline at 7 cm and then recede back, it’s a good way to keep a low appearing hairline, while being conservative. No products in the beard that’s all genetics.

It's amazing how visually profound a simple V shape design can draw the eye to the lowest point.

Interesting, it ended up working pretty well. A little detail that made a huge difference. HTs are somwhat of an optimization game after all. 

This was a great trick, as a suggestion for the next video maybe you could approach the hairline topic!

Yea, the eyes are drawn to the center of the face. I believe it’s just a primal instinct. It’s how we gauge facial expressions on others.

Now I am considering the same thing...a very subtle placement.

I think I will draw it in first with an crayon marker.

The lesson I'm getting after reading all those threads and seeing the results of other people is that while we can't *expect* a homerun result, surely there are a lot of things that can be done to increase the chances one can achieve it. 

As the saying goes, the devil is in the detail

Yes, set ourselves up for success, joining this forum in my opinion is step #1.

Have you ever grown it out? Looks like you’d have a good beard.

Yeah, I've grown it out. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as dense as your beard.
