http://thomashawk.com/hello/209/1017/1024/ballmer.jpg There is a picture of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Very wealthy man. Very bald head. Look how far he balded by his early fifties. Remember, propecia will slow the inevitable over perhaps a couple of decades, but youre going to bald to where you were going to bald to. Just think if he'd tried to transplant when he was 21. He'd look like a freak by now.
Here are three senators http://blogs.citypages.com/canderson/im ... rouble.jpg . One is Pat Leahy, the second Edward Kennedy, the third Joe Biden. Biden has had a hair transplant. Biden, an email from a friend has informed me, has an ENORMOUS back bald spot that is shaped like a "V" because its almost receeded in two in the very back. Big and shiny behind the plugs in the front. To see him in person, he looks ridiculous. But when you see him from the front on TV.......not all that bad unless you know what to look for (i.e. the receeded sides, thinness on the sides, new created thinness in the hippocratic wreath, the thick donor-area hair in the fronts incongruity with a receeded hairline on an older man, etc.). Pat Leahy is an example of a man with too small a wreath to transplant. Its thin and small, not enough hair to stretch all over the head. Think of the dilemma he'd be in now if he'd opted for surgery at 21.
Here is actor Ed Asner in his thirties http://tedstrong.com/graphics/asnerph2.jpg . He had a little hair. Here he is now http://eur.yimg.com/i/xp/premier_photo/0/077aa049db.jpg . As you can see.......he is completely bald now. His hippocratic wreath (although I could find no pictures of the back of Ed's head) is very small (He appeared recently on Jay Leno). He proboably only has 20,000 or so hairs left on his head. That will not cover an area that used to have 100,000 or more hairs.
"Donor areas" as referred to by Bosley infomercials are a "myth" in alot of ways. They "thin out" with age. You DO NOT keep all of the hair that is in your hippocratic wreath of your youth. You will lose about a third of it with age as you bald. It might shrink a bit receeding fromt the top down and from the bottom up from the neck in the very back also.
These are things to consider for a guy under thirty five thinking about the knife. Hopefully, we will have hair cloning in a few more years (trails are supposed to start in 2007) so by early next decade men will be able to multiply the amount of "donor" hair they have......but if that cant be done scientifically.......guys transplanting young face drastic consequences as they age.
