Hi,
i often see members saying (especially to young people) things like :
"don't go for an hair transplant so early, in ten years you'll have lost all the back of your scalp and will regret to have it done, because all the hair left will be located on the transplanted area, and it will look like sh*t + you may have a bad scar on the head"
I just wonder if those members ever considered "gambling" with hair. I'm 21, and here are two questions i often ask myself, even though i'm far from being bald atm (i've been under minoxidil for 1.5 year, and under Propecia for 5 months, and the balding process seems to be stopped for a moment, now) :
- Considering the possibility i can afford 3 hair transplants in terms of donor hair, and that each of these transplants would spare me 5 years of hair, it leads us to 15 years+. At this time, we can expect HM to be completed, and therefore, to not care about donor area any more. So what do i lose to go for an hair transplant right now in such circumstances?
- What is the best: having hair during my twenties (supposedly the best years of life, and actually the one where having hair might be the most important) and having my head shaved later if i'm unlucky (HM unavailable or not working as expected) or my head full of hair if i'm lucky (HM available and working as expected) ; or having my hair disappearing little by little during those supposedly best years, forgetting to live just because of that, hoping for a miracle cure to happen somedays that just may never happen, so i would have screwed my life totally?
The bet actually lies in the belief that HM will be available in (number_of_ht_necessary)*(number_of_years_spared_per_ht) years or not.
Actually, for those who believe, and especially those who believe and can't stand being balding, and even more especially those who believe, can't stand being balding and think that they're screwing their supposedly best years of life, i just don't understand why they didn't had their hair transplant done for a long time (except if they don't have the money for it, of course).
I just don't feel like people who are so desperate about losing their hair. I think i will never experience the situation described in the second part of the second question as there are quite a lot of things in my life I care more about than my hair, but i noticed there are quite a lot of people out there who feel this way. IMHO, even if i can't tell for now since i never tried and to my mind aren't bald enough to consider that option, i feel like i'll be able to assume my bald head when it'll be necessary to buzz it down. Though, i think keeping my hair would just be... better !
By the way, i've read many threads on this forum and i just don't understand why this debate (the gamble of early hair transplant) doesn't pop up more often
