Title: The best reason yet for not getting a hair transplant
Post by: Razor X on June 22, 2008, 01:52:00 PM
Who wants to incur this kind of pain and have a head that looks like this afterwards?  This is a photo of the new FUE (follicular unit extraction) process that supposedly leaves no scarring.  I'm not sure I believe that, but even if it's true, this looks pretty damn painful to me.   :(

Ouch, and no thank you.

I wonder what the plug part looks like.  That has got to hurt.

Isn't there something in the oath of a medical doctor about, "First,  do no harm," ?

That looks like a fresh wound, yes wound, and all wounds can scar.  I'd like to see this poor sucker in a month or two.  And when you think he's paying big bucks, too.  When will guys like this think first?

With FUE, there is no scar (or pain, they use anesthetic) so you can still shave your head. Those are the advantages.

Disadvantages are its really expensive, the procedure takes a long time, and the results are not necessarily as good as they would be with a strip hair transplant.

I don't believe it. That has to hurt.   Nobody's doing that to my head.

ouch, ouch. not for me. no pills, no wigs.... no hair. :*))

i noticed that a lot of "restored" hairlines are looking very unnatural.

i think i would spent my money to save the rainforest, than saving the
"forest" on my head.

anyways, i have no money for saving both forests, ;D

I, for one, would never spend that kind of money to resore my hairline if I was just going to shave it off. That is an advantage to the process? I mean, I'm sure I could buy a truckload of HB cartridges for the cost of FUE(BAR).  >:D

YIKES!!!

I toy, on occasion, with getting a hair piece (for fun...), but for the life of me, could NEVER understand going through all of that pain... for a result that will NEVER been great.
