No idea, you would think he would be advised to go on it after his HT, yes. His HT was big news here at the time. Looks very poor at the moment. He has the same hair as that guy behind him who is probably in his fifties. Money well spent...

It will take months to grow back fully. Propecia may not be advised for professional athletes.

He is one month post op, you get balder at 1 month. Obviously he's going to look bad. They call this the "ugly duckling" period for a reason.
No f*****ing kidding.

I'm already NW5 just like my father is now at 51 years old. The surgeon agreed to restore the front half of my scalp only. I saw Bisanga a few weeks ago and he told me I shouldn't do that because he think I will not be happy without hair at my crown. I already have no hair at my crown, and I'm not happy. **** it, it's a FUE or nothing for me.
I know I have one of the most agressive hair loss possible (started balding at 17, never receded, all equally diffuse over the NW5). I'll be 24 by the time I have the transplant and I'm totally bald, so of course it makes it easier than if I was NW3 at that young age.
Some hair (as long as it's done by a top surgeon and it looks natural) is always better than no hair at all, always. I know a lot of sufferers would only be happy if they got their teenage hair line back. That's not what I want, I just want a frame to my face. So I don't think hair transplants are a waste of time, it's currently the only option possible to allow people to recover the apperance of hair (that and rugs of course).
I hate the praise that 35 years old NW3 hair transplant patients who take finasteride get on some hair restoration forums. And real sufferers like me get patronized for not taking finasteride (while they made it clear they can't take it) and for wanting a FUE at such a young age.
If you don't mind....pics? I'm interested in how yours turns out....I may well need to do something similar.

I will create a follow-up topic on several websites like hairlossexperience, ************ and on this board next year .
By the way, we know at hairlossexperiences that Rooney just had his second FUE and it seems to be going well. Those pictures were taken right after the procedure, of course he will look like that. People shound't shun hair transplants just because they can't afford them.

Jesus Christ of all heavens.
I think hair loss really affected his career - the guy was like Gascoigne in his prime before he cared about hair loss.

Hair transplant network is also good for posting HT results, and it is primarily focused on HT's as opposed to "cutting edge treatments".
Note, I am not encouraging users to join any other forums. All opinions expressed are of KO1 only.

Based on hearing a lot of negative things about hair transplants and the fact that they are not guaranteed to work, and if they don't work the clinics still keep your money.......at those prices it is a risk, you could end up £15,000 out of pocket with a massive scar on the back of you head and no new hair.
This is my main issue with it, if it was guaranteed to work or your money back then I'd be ok with it....well FUE anyway.
I have been on SMP related forums and there are so many people on them who have had failed hair transplants.......I don't want to be one of these people.

That's because these people go to shitty hair transplant surgeons...
show me a failed ht from hasson and wong, dr. cole, dr. wesley, dr. gho, dr. shapiro or anyone of that stature.
