Hello everyone,
I’m 44 now, began losing my hair at 17. Hit me pretty hard. Tried Rogaine and eventually wore a hairpiece for around 3yrs (still have nightmares about it). I basically wore a hat for 5yrs. I eventually decided on getting transplants. I had 2 sessions of FUT in 1997 with Elliott/True in NY. What a difference. The last 20 Years have been great! I got my confidence back, met my wife, marriage, kids, career, the whole nine.
So, lately my hairline on the sides is starting to recede lower towards my ears, exposing the transplanted hairline, and my front hairline is now looking more unnatural too. I guess I’d be a N6 right now without prior transplants.
So I decided to go back and get things updated. I’m going to get FUE in 2 weeks with Dr Dorin in NY to make my hairline look more natural and prepare for future loss on the sides.
That’s my story.
I’m taking 2 weeks off of work to regrow the hair as much as possible before heading back. I can’t wear a hat and I work pretty closely with my group at work. I’ve been filled with anxiety about how I’m going to look when I go back. Are they going to notice? What are they going to say? What should I say? You know. I’ve been buzzing to a #8 for the past 20 Years, so a bit shorter won’t look much different. I’m more concerned about pinkness, puffiness, scars, etc..
Any advice you can offer to help alleve my anxiety a bit? I think things will be much better overall once I start to regrow, but these next 6mo or so are gonna be tough. Maybe everyone already knows and just doesn’t say anything. I don’t know. I’ve always felt like it was my little secret to hide. Maybe I’m making too big a deal of this? I know in the grand scheme of things this is pretty small.
Any advice?
