transplants

[Andy007]

hi,

i decided against baldness and am on meds and got a transplant. i really didnt like the bald look (tried it). maybe some of you remember me. its a long time since i was here.

i got a FUE transplant, so I still should be able to shave or buzz it, if I decide later. but i dont think so.

just to show another way...but I like how positive you guys are. thats why im back here.

I noticed that two years ago when you joined this forum you never showed us a picture with your head shaved, even though you said you did it.

It's your head and your decision, but the forum is called Sly Bald Guys for a reason.

Andy, I do hope that you will not regret this decision later in life.

I did show you a pic of my shaved head. I just deleted it now. ya, its called sly bald guys, but i think that its also about coping with baldness. thats what its about, in my opinion. I dont want to tell anyone in here to get transplants, too. but i want to share ideas.

I dont think he will regret it Tyler.  I just think he will find that it isnt a life long thing.  If you are going to lose your hair...you are going to lose it....there is no "fixing it permenantly".  Enjoy it while you have it Andy.

if you get a transplant, the doctor takes the hair from the back. back hair stays life long. it stays life long, too, when its transplanted to the top. the only problem is, I could loose the hair I had left, also. this is why I take meds. problem is, if I loose the hair, which was left, I may have a weird loss area because I only got hair transplanted to the front. that are the risks of a transplant.

So yes, you're right, I should enjoy it, while I have it.

it is not "LIFE LONG"  if your body decides not to grow hair it wont...simple as that.  Sorry you think that it does...but good luck.

Good luck Andy.   I don't know how old you are, but there will come a day where it will not
matter to you whether you are bald or have hair.   That is surely going to happen because
as you get older you become stronger and care less about what others think.
Not only that but older people accept differences more easily than younger ones.
Furthermore, as we get older we accept ourselves more.   
Peace bro.

thx math guy! I think maybe the day has come already  . First I have to say that I'm 1,5 months after my hair transplant. All hair which has been transplanted has fallen off and a bit of the hair, which I had before, also. My hair now looks worse than before. That's pretty normal, when you get a hair transplant. It will need 12-15 months for a hair transplant to grow fully.
I can't do only waiting for my hair to come out in this time. I have and I want to live! So I have short, thin hair now with a lengths of maybe 1.2 cm or something like this. But I do very well now. My new idol is Jason Statham  . He looks cool with the buzz cut and thin hair.
If I could undo my hair transplant, I'm not sure, if I would do it or let it now. Because I feel pretty good with my short thin hair now. In a few month the transplanted hair should grow. I will maybe let my hair as short as it is at the moment.
Thin hair doesn't maybe look as good as full hair. But it doesn't make you ugly or uglier. It's just hair. It's not your face or your body. If I could choose, I would take hair over no hair. One side note here: I only got transplanted my frontal area and my back and middle is thinning also. This will stay anyway. I won't have a completley full head of hair again, when my hair transplant grows. So I will always have to cope baldness. Additional it may be that my frontal area won't become as full as my side hair. Hair transplants are very limited.
So anyway, I have to cope with baldness, even in 12-15 month. Best is, I adjust to baldness. This is the best anyway. Because in future I might loose more hair.
Like I said, I'm feeling good at the moment with my buzz cut and I will maybe stay at it, even if my hair transplant becomes very good.
I want to feel like I could live forever with the hair I got at the moment. That's my goal and this is why I'm at this forum. I want to not worry about baldness anymore.
I'm thinking about going sly, too, but problem is, I have little white dots in the back and sides from the transplant. I dont know how this would look shaved. With my actual hair , you pretty less see these dots.
I think I will stay with the buzz cut. So I won't go sly or let my hair grow longer.

You know, in the past, I wore my hair long and hided my baldess with my style. That was really bad. Now I think I could live and accept it like it is. That's a big big improvement in my personality. Again, if I could choose, I would take full hair, but if you just don't have it, then its no problem aswell.
Noone acts other to you and I think chicks (at least 20+ years old) don't care as much about it, as I thought in past.

Ok, I can't undo my hair transplant anymore. Maybe its good, maybe its bad. If I had got these thoughts before I did it, then I probably wouldn't have done it. Now its there already. I will see how it looks in some months and then decide again, what hair style I want to wear. But I know now, that I could live with a short thinning head of hair, too. I don't have these big problems anymore, which I had. Some guys maybe remember how I thought about baldness in past. I thought about self-murdering. Wow, crazy. I'm doing so much better now.

Congratulations. 

You found something that works for you.  It is not what most on this board would have wished for you, but it is your choice, and you are happy with it.

If it makes you feel good about yourself, it is not my place to say it is wrong.  It is right for you.

Have a good day.

hey good that it works for you,, im getting bald in im thinking going sly in one year or something. Also i wish you the best of the luck because now you have denied the sly look because if you shave it all the scar of your surgery will be very ugly...
