Basically coming to this site was bittersweet... I'm completely and utterly thankful I found this site don't get me wrong...
But at the same time I was always seeing the commercials and thinking, "Oh, it's no problem... I'll get a transplant and be fine..."
I now realize that that's not even 100%.
From what I gather at this point is that you can do anything other than get a transplant.. and you will basically hold off hairloss for a little bit... but eventually it's going to go, even with all the treatments and Propecia, it will go. This regime can be pretty extreme too from what I see to the point that...well you're life IS your hair.
Then if you finally get a transplant, you'll have the hair transplanted...but you have to wait to be a later age (30+) to do this AND any remaining hair on your head that's not transplanted you will lose. You'll eventually have a thin top... that you could get filled in providing you have enough hair... but most likely, you won't have enough hair. So, you're screwed either way.
Things I don't get are... if you can do FUE, and have a lot of body hair, why can't you just use it with a body transplant and be fine? Or why can't you utilize all of the DHT-Immune hairs on the sides and back and sort of disperse it on the top and around so that the top doesn't even look thinner than the sides... it all would have an equal thickness.
And how much damage does FUE do to the donor area the make it so you can only get so many transplants done? It seems like a very non-violating procedure (I can't think of a better word). I've read countless things on this site and around... but these thoughts still come up and bother me.
I feel like I should just accept the inevitable and shave my head. Even if I can afford the transplant/s I feel like it's still nowhere near 100%...
Please tell me I'm wrong.
I guess it's a battle against mother nature and eventually you'll just have to let go... but the whole process is a battle until you get to this age... and the age is pretty much up to you. Just... when you decide to quit... there it is.
When it comes down to it, I will literally do almost anything to get these transplants done... get the money and get them done. Hell... I'll take ALL the hair I have on the sides and the back and put it on the top and just have a damn flat-top with no side hair like the character Guile from street fighter... I don't care.
Maybe some people would call this vain, but I don't care. I'd just be happier with myself... it's not a low self-esteem all around issue... it literally is JUST my hair that drives me nuts.
