Wayne Rooney Hair transplant

[limit]

I think this warrants some discussion

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...bald-cure.html

1.No secret he was losing his hair for a while, but fair play to him for not keeping this a secret. What are peoples opinions of this hair clinic? Having one of the most iconic footballers as a client is a big endorsement. Also - after sneiders FUE, does FUE look like a better way when money isn't an obstacle.

2.The article mentions him taking pills and lotion - i think we can assume this is propecia and rogaine. If you look at him over the years, his hairline continued to deteriorate; implying these treatments didnt work - what will this mean for his hair post-op?

3. Also could we make a list of footballers who have undergone hair transplants. I know ryan giggs and w.sneider have.... but who else?

Hmmm. Wouldn't have thought he'd give a toss about it. Could he be pranking us. We'll have to see.

If it is true, it will no doubt inspire others to follow suit.
Whether this is a good or a bad thing remains to be seen. Certainly, a mediocre result while loaded up on drugs to maintain that mediocrity may not be the best decision.

Some of the pics on their site look decent but again there probably the best ones. I'm sure the fact its wayne rooney he would have had specialist attention.

Guess someone with that amount of loss in the spotlight cant really hide a HT, but he has been open about his hairloss in the past so its no surprise.

I dont think its a joke pictures were taken of him leaving the clinic. Not sure I'd have picked a UK HT surgeon though.

It’s so difficult for me to understand why these celebrities don't do their research or at least have someone do it for them.

to be honest, i really don't think most celebrities go to the clinics that are the best. you don't see a lot of celebrity in holland going to feriduni or hasson and wong (or even prohair in antwerp, which isn't bad), but they all go to Gho...money has nothing to do with transplants: you've all seen jeremy piven...they mostly go to the clinic that's been profiling themselves the most i think...

This could seriously change everything!!!

If this turns out to be true and we see Rooney scampering around the pitch scoring with a head covered with thick hair how many people will follow in his footsteps?? The flood gates could open, think about it!! How may 20 something balding footie fans will think ‘well if he can do it and get away with it why not me?’

I know that there have been some crazy figures thrown around, some saying it cost him 20 or 30 grand, but I can tell you now you can get a decent HT for about 6 or 7 grand. A guy in his 20’s could get a loan and afford that! Instead of the new car you get on credit how about a new hair line that could last you a life time??

I know we’ve had other famous people come out of the HT closet, but they have tended to be older and less in the spot light. Rooney is smack bang right in the spot light every week!! He’s a young English idol that kids and young men lookup too!!

Once the nay-Sayers and spiteful voices die down what will be left will be bloke that lets face it looks better and probably feels better as well. Possibly a defining moment that could change how people think about HT.

Was this FUE?

[Jimmyrblue]

I have no idea, I would guess If he ever wanted to wear his hair very short again it probably is. but this is just me guessing, He seems to want to be open and honest about it so i dont see why he wouldn't tell all at some point wait and see.

Yes it's FUE.
