Thinking of getting Hair Transplant

[sausage]

Hi,

I have had SMP (Micropigmentation) or the 'tattoo thing' in other words. It is definitely worth doing. Makes a huge difference. Although it obviously is nothing like getting back a full head of hair, it frames your face, makes you look younger. Have had it for a year now and not a single person has questioned it. I have had my landlord say "You look well, have you lost weight". I have never been fat - I think he probably noticed my 'hair' had changed but didn't want to pick it out, or maybe he just didn't know what changed - but thought I looked better somehow. I have had a housemate say "Why don't you grow your hair out" and another say "Nice haircut". It is amazing how people don't actually realise and say "how did you get your hair back" or "you were bald before". The reaction is surprising, but positive.

If you have ruled SMP out - go research more. If you go to the right 'clinic' and the right tattoo artist - then you will get a good result. I passed this SMP stuff of as a bit of a joke to start with, but completely went 360 and realised it works.


Anyway......the negatives of SMP is that it doesn't hold up too great in the outdoors, especially on Sunny days.

I would like to somewhat change that by getting a Hair Transplant too. I think some hair on top will reduce glare + make the 'shadow' look stand out more and look even more realistic.

I am just after a thin covering. I would keep it shaved very short. I am a Norwood 6 - I basically have no hair on top apart from a few strands.

I am after something like this:

Can anyone take a guess and let me know approx how many grafts it would take to cover a NW6 scalp with this sort of density?

and what sort of cost it would be to have it done?

Thanks.
