    Default Wish I could afford a hair transplant

    Hello everyone,
    I am a 53 year old unemployed man who has a bit of thinning that drives me mad. I always had fantastic hair. Now it's graying which is okay, I guess. But the thinning in the back really bugs me. It's not getting worse but it still bugs me. When I grow my hair longer it's easy enough to cover up this spot.

    Does anyone know a good doctor in the Northern, NJ area who could do a hair transplant? About how much would it cost to correct my spot? Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    You don't need a freaking transplant, just buy some dermatch and be gone.

    Many ethical doctors will not recommend having a hair transplant to fill in that spot. Technically that spot is a "black hole" for grafts and attempting to fill it in via hair transplant surgery is often a waste of grafts. This area is the area that responds best to the current proven medications. You should talk to your doctor about that and try treating it with these meds for at least 12 months.

    Yes, you can easily conceal that thin spot with Dermmatch while you are treating it - or if you decide not to treat it.

    This post is an insult to all of us who are losing a lot more hair a lot earlier in our lives.

    You're 53, how can some thinning drive you mad? Are you making fun of us with this post? You've had your years with hair, stop whining and have some respect.

    You should have read the forum before insulting us real sufferers.
