RE: So I have decided that I am going to get hair transplants
Well, I wish you luck with your endeavor!
I "inherited" the male-pattern baldness tendencies that have plagued all the men on my dad's side of the family... and I started going bald around age 25 and had very little left by 35. At near 60, I still have about the same amount of hair I did at 35.
Whereas I did look into various options, I ended up choosing hats instead. Of course, I'm sure hair grafting has come a long way since 1990.
Hope it works out the way you want!
yeah, i'm a little concerned about the process but the process has changed a lot since the 90's. They take individual follicles and more them meticulously 1 by 1. It takes many hours and is pretty gruesome to see on the YouTube videos. However, the testimonials indicate that you are so loaded up with Novocain that you don't feel any of it.
Eventually I will probably have to choose hats as well because just because I replace what is already missing doesn't mean that the pattern of balding is just going to magically stop. There have been some advancements in something that I think is called plasma injections that is meant to have a very high rate of preserving the hair that you still have, but it doesn't regrow it in most cases. The people who have had transplants almost unanimously say that they are very happy that they did it.
I suppose I am about to find out!
