When is the right time for a hair transplant?

[Pequod]

If you have NW6 in the family then I think you might want to go with Dutasteride as finasteride may not be strong enough.

I don't think I'll go for Dutasteride. Finas already makes me feel a bit uncomfortable even though I'm not having side effects (for now). I'd say I'm "safe/conservative". Dutas is too heavy stuff for me!

That's a trade off people are willing to make. We know our hair loss will progress, we know we have a finite amount of grafts, but the tradeoff - to not look bald.balding while we're still young, is worth it. Most people find their careers, their wives or future wives in their 20s and early 30s. That is the time we need to look best and be our most confident. Not when we're 40, not when we're 50 (by which time a cure will surely exist?), and certainly not when we're 50 or 60.

Speak for yourself, I'm never getting married. I gotta be able to pull hot younger women well into my 50s. THAT'S real pressure.

that's reserved for men of Brad Pitt calibre. Let's be real here.

No man is pulling hotties in his 50's unless he's always been a STUD, and maintains a full head of hair.

I don't agree. And it depends on what you mean by hotties. If you are with a 35-45yo woman in your 50's, that is already good. I think at that age you'll feel like they are young and beauty enough even though they are not in their 20's. I'm 28 and there are MANY women over 40 that I'd happily do.

Also, I'd say that as women get older they give less importance to hair. I'm not removing it from the equation, but I simply think it's not a decisive factor.

My father was banging women in their 20s and 30s when he was in his 50s.

He's not Brad Pitt, but he also was a bodybuilder, youthful looking (looked about 40 when he was 56) and had hair.

I like how guys in their 20s can explain what it's like to be in your 50s.

Very True. That's like how can a low Norwood explain what it's like to be a high Norwood, right Fred?

I got mine at 25, recently got it. The doctor I went to seemed to think that as soon as I noticed thinning it was a good time to transplant it.

How long does a hair transplant last for ?

One point about when to have hair transplant: At any age, don't get a hair transplant when you are not able to think clearly about it i.e if you are extremely upset about your hairloss. If you are very upset you are likely to be too vulnerable to pressure and insecurity, and you may make an impulsive decision you may live to regret. When I first started losing my hair I was so messed up emotionally about it any decision I would have made about hair transplant would have been bad. If you are thinking about hair transplant do it at a time when things are relatively stable, both from a hairloss and an emotional POV.

I agree 100% !!! If you are upset about hair loss, you are extremely vulnerable to making a bad decision, or even being ripped off.

how much does it cost-Hair transplant

Anyone know how much this costs?

Following are the factors which determine the final cost of your hair transplant surgery:
1.Hair thinning and balding stage
2.Hair graft size and numbers
3.Hair Density

We don't know what it's like to be 50, you're right.

But when do men need their looks most? When do men find their partners and get married? When do men start their careers? When do men make their friends? When do men need their confidence and looks the most? When we're in our 20s and 30s. That is the time we need our hair the most, that is the time when most of our friends and co-workers are not bald/seriously balding. That is the age where women care about a man's hair the most.

Looks matter at any age. So does confidence. But they matter most when you are young and finding your way in life, not when you're older. Most men don't get married or start their careers in their 50s. It's a bit late for that.

You've had a dreadful experience Arfy, and that is partially a result of being a victim of early hair transplant technology butchery and some dodgy surgeons in the last decade or so, but you still have options, like a hair system or SMP. People who get a hair transplant now, it could make all the difference in their life for love, career and success.
