I'm ready for a hair transplant, who should i pick?

[FlightTL]

So, as previously stated, I'm a fully bald Norwood 6-7....

But, my beard and chest hair is thick as ever....


Here's my plan: 1000 grafts form back side donor, and remaining 1000-1500 grafts from body(mainly beard but maybe 100 from chest).

So all I want is a thin coverage in frontal 1/3 of scalp to frame face....Is this too much to ask for??

Also, who should I pick:
Feller, Cole, Yates, or Lindsey????


Thanks yall!!!!!!!

Let me ask you this... are you slick bald on the vertex and crown with no hair at all that you would consider this as an option ?
What have you tried previous up until seriously considering an HT ?

If you truly are a Norwood 6/7, this will not be enough - and body/beard hair transplants are still a very very bad idea. They never look good and no ethical doctor will do body/beard hair transplants unless it is an absolute last resort such as repair cases and burn victims.

If you truly are a Norwood 6/7, your best option is to either wear hair or shave your head and move on with your life. There is nothing wrong with wearing hair if it helps you feel better about yourself. There is nothing wrong with shaving it off either. Millions of men have done so for thousands of years and they turned out just fine.

Well I have seen some pretty amazing results with combined scalp + beard hair. I think beard hair is a very good donor as it is thick and grows long. I've also read that it blends with your scalp hair very well.

I shave my head and it looks good on me, but it does not look good on all men, especially those with round, square or pear faces. You need to have an Oval or Long Oval face to be able to look good bald, as in that case your face is already well balanced. That is the reason, you would notice that some men go from being very handsome to ugly if they go bald, while for some men, it doesn't affect their looks at all.

As for wearing a hairpiece, the problem is that you would keep on worrying if someone is noting it, so I don't think that is a good solution. Men don't care about a woman's baldness, as long as she looks good with a hairpiece, but I don't think any woman would stay with a man if she founds out that he has been wearing a hairpiece!

That is just plain silly. There is nothing wrong with wearing hair if it helps you feel better about yourself. The best way to relieve such a possible worry is to just tell everyone that you wear hair. If a man has the courage to do that, he will break through that barrier. Trust me, nobody really cares. Anyone who does care and has a problem with it does not deserve a place in your life.

That is false. Most women do not care. Any woman who does have a problem with it does not deserve a place in your life.

Unless you have seen these "good results" up close and personal, you cannot conclude that they are good results. Creative photography can make the worst results look good. Most results of body/beard hair transplants are terrible at best.

you'll probably need more than 2000 grafts for decent coverage

FlightTL: I was a patient of one of the HT doctors you mentioned above. I also had the NW 6 pattern. Send me a pvt message if you want to hear about my experience.

Thanks You all for your feedback...very useful info indeed.


Baldozer has a good point...while he can attractively pull of a shaved head,,, i cannot....I respect men who can keep it all clean, but I am not one of them.


Nish,, I'll read up on ur previous posts to gather info...Thank you.

May hairloss never affect any human being ever again....THIS IS MY SINCERE WISH

I don't think Dr Feller does beard transplant but i could be wrong.
Contact Spex or Joetronic on finding a good surgeon

That is false. Most women do not care. Any woman who does have a problem with it does not deserve a place in your life.

I disagree, and baldozer's statement is not silly at all. It is a real fear for men that people will notice that they are wearing a wig. In fact, it is probably more embarrassing for a man to be "outed" as wearing a wig than for a man to just shave his head. This is evidenced by the fact that virtually no man admits to anyone that they are wearing a wig. I know several men who "wear hair" and none of them would dare tell anyone. Hell, the only one that I know that admits to wearing a wig is Jason Alexander and I don't think any man would want to model themselves after him.

I disagree that most women do not care if a man is wearing a wig. There is a huge stigma attached to "wearing hair" and it makes a man the subject of ridicule, jokes, and embarrassment. That's why virtually no man wants to admit to "wearing hair". And I don't know of any women who admits to "wearing hair". Just because hair loss is more accepted for a man than a woman, it doesn't mean that it's any less devastating or heartbreaking, despite what the media portrays.
