What are your thoughts on it? Has anyone had it done? Does it hurt? How much does it cost? Are their any side effects? Does it leave patches in the donor areas at the side and back of the head from where the grafts are taken?
There’s a presenter on a current affairs program on ARY and he use to have an airport on his head but now he’s got natural looking hair. I think he’s had a hair transplant.
I’m not bald yet but I’m slowly getting a receding hairline.

couple of poiters, if you begining to lose hair, start using rogaine,it will nto grow hair but it will stop it from falling.
as far as transplants go keep teh following in mind
1) if you get transplants done and you continue to lose hair you will have to get follow up services..lemem explain, lets say of the hair on the top of your head you lose 20% and then go to a transplant place and get it sorted, but your natural hairloss means that you will lose 50% of the hair on the top of your hair.. 30% more will fall..not the transplanted ones but the ones that were there to begin with. docs can usually figure out what the extent of your hairloss will be overall.
2) costs.. are on a per graft basis so depending on how many grafts you need, teh cost goes up, the grafts vary as well, some could be single or 2-3 hair grafts, some could be a bigger chunk.
3) There are no patches left because the donor area is sutured together but there will be a visible scar there. Not a big deal unless your hairloss end state is much worse than you thought and u just wanna say hellw ith it and shave yer head..the scars etc will pose a rather ghastly picture.
teh costs of the procedure are high, and if you are just beginnignt ot hin out, its def better to use rogaine.
but, go visit a dermatologist and figure out what your options are.
