Do people judge you for getting a hair transplant?

[MadeUp]

For those who have had a successful hair transplant, do you find people judge you for it?

Hopefully I can let you know in about six months! 😉

Judge for what exactly? I don’t see what’s there to judge 🤨

People judge you for everything you do.

People judge you for being bald too.

Hi mate. 
 

I’m having my first HT this Saturday, so haven’t yet had one, but I’ve openly told people that I am having one and the reaction is overwhelmingly positive. 
 

Realistically the only people that will know you’ve had one are the people that you tell, and friends and family aren’t going to judge.

Do people judge you for getting a hair transplant? It's not anywhere near as bad as it was 20 or 30 years ago, but with most things, people are always judging and they like to feel like they are right. So if you tell people you are getting a hair transplant, assuming you have a lot of hair loss that easily makes you look like a bald guy, then most of them will tell you to go for it and it's a great idea. If it turns out well they will tell you how it's a good thing you listened to them about getting it done. If it turns out bad they will tell you that you are so stupid for trying that and you should have listened to them about not doing it.

So do what you think is best for you and forget about what everyone else says. If you don't want to tell them anything then don't. It's your life.

People can judge you for anything and everything. I stopped caring along time ago (except I do care a lot about my MPB, so I'm a hypocrite). 

I wouldn't tell anyone openly that I had a transplant. If they don't know, they'll just think it's natural hair.

Nope. The complete opposite, actually. Every single time it comes up in conversation, the response is always enthusiastic and inquisitive... Usually a combination of A) shocked that they had no idea, B) wanting to see photos and asking tons of questions, C) and usually bringing up how they or someone they know either also had a procedure or really wants to get one. 

I was so nervous when I first got my HT that people would find out, and it felt like a dark secret I was carrying around for a while... And I was so relieved to learn that all my fears were completely unfounded when I started telling friends about it and they were all soooo supportive. 

I'm sure there are always some judgmental people lurking around who might have a negative opinion or two, but I've yet to run into them in regards to this... And even if I did, I'm so happy/confident with my decision to do this that I can't imagine even caring for a second what anyone thought. If anything, I've become somewhat happy to talk about it when it comes up in conversation.

People judge you for balding so some probably judge you for getting transplants. Just the way of the word, everybody is judging
