Anyone ever get hair transplants?

[ProudVirgin69]

Being on the juice for a couple years pushed my hairline back.  Thankfully, finasteride has totally stopped any additional hairloss.  Been on it for 5 years and it's truly remarkable: no change in my hairline, even after some more time on low dose test. 

Anyways, I'm at the point in my life where I can afford to spend $10-15k on a hair transplant.  Probably looking to get 1000-1500 hairs transplanted, just to restore my youthful hairline.  Now, I've talked to a couple places that do it in my area (I live in Chicago) and it seems like $7-8/follicle is the going rate.
 Some people say that a hair transplant is a hair transplant, and going to the cheapest bidder is fine.  On the other hand, cheaping out on plastic surgery seems like a bad idea.

Any getbiggers get a hair transplant or know anybody that has?  Any advice?

[IroNat]

Yes, definitely go with the cheapest doctor.

[Fallsview]

Goodmorrow,

I have been blessed with great hair. I would love to hear from others not so fortunate.




STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kwon]

This is for Melvin, Vissy and those that are not so fortunate with hair

[IroNat]

It's always smart to bargain shop for your medical doctors.

Look at the diploma.  Docs with degrees from Guadalajara Medical School are usually cheaper.

[IRON CROSS]

ask ratherbefat  (he's Anaboliclalos buddy) about those hairy transplants 

[Bevo]

Yes, definitely go with the cheapest doctor.

This is not good advice lol

More factors come into play

Weren’t you the dude who takes rogain? I thought about it, I’m in my late 30’s and noticed just a bit of thinning. Had the doctor look when I went in recently and he said I have a great head of hair, but I know my body and it just doesn’t look quite as good as it did ten years ago. I also started TRT about five years ago so I’m not sure if that’s screwing with it or not. Either way, I’d like to keep my full head of hair.

yes i use rogaine and have been using it since my late 20s. 50% of hair loss occurs before men even realize it.

i tell all my friends and gf's about rogaine - use it while you have a full head of hair. i should get paid by them   i spread the good word. i never hide any secrets -

i do the following
rogaine 1x per day
saw palmetto
PRP injections at my dermatologist
live a healthy life

my hair is slowly thinning - hell i am getting older (so its father time) but i am doing what i can to maintain it.

good luck brols -dont wait around with hair loss

I've had two hair transplants. Along with taking finasteride, it's made a major difference and I look younger now (at 31) then I did several years ago. I live in the UK and had mine done here but I know many go to Turkey to get it done. It's significantly cheaper and the surgeons there are known to be very good.
Whether or not you choose to get FUE or FUT depends on how you like to style your hair. Both mine were FUE since I tend to like my back and sides shaven. There isn't any visible scarring that can be seen.

31 isn’t very old though, hope your hair stays the same 10 years or more down the road

[hipolito mejia]

I am the spitting image of Richard Gere bald and all.  Now imagine if I Had hair.   

Only bodybuilders that spend their lives measuring food injectong drugs and lifting don't really make a difference if they're bald or not.   Look at Aaron Clark for instance.

I'm hoping the finasteride does it's job and prevents any further hair loss for at least a decade. It's worked well so far. I'll probably go for a third hair transplant if necessary but will want to delay that as much as I can.

How many prp injections have you had?

[Skylge]

Be carefull, finasteride can have serious and irreversible side affects.

Besides, why take so many unneccessary risks using roids? Prostate, heart, liver, does not seem worth it to me.

It can cause irreversible impotence even after a few doses. Also gyno.

There was even one guy on a talk show who claimed it made him become transgender!

Wouldn't risk messing with hormones like that just to save hair.

I too am 31, I’m fortunate enough not to need hair transplant but if I did using finasteride would be my absolute last option. I’ve heard too many horror stories with that drug.
I know of 3 people who went to Turkey for the procedure, apparently 1/3 price and they are the forefront of hair transplants.

You’re a sheep. So ignorant, just following the herd. Amazes me that people such as yourself make it past 20.

[Rambone]

I didn’t have any noticeable side effects while on finasteride, but something that crashes your DHT, the hormone that essentially makes you a man, can’t be a good thing. But that’s just common sense
