Fellas -I'm getting ready to have hair transplants. Have done a lot of research. But what are your experiences? Anything I need to avoid? Prepare for, etc? Thanks in advance

Anterior - front - rebuilding hair line on high forehead. I'm speaking with a surgeon in Austin, TX. I visited his office - he's boarded, etc. Have you had this done? If so, what was your experiences? I heard good and bad. Thanks!

Always love the before & after pics for hair replacement, the "before" looks so much better than the "after". As a friend once said, that's the point, right?

Transplants are effective in rebuilding the receding hairline though a little artistry is needed to make it blend in at the front. Long term results depend on your risk of continued loss elsewhere, which takes account of your age and the hair loss in your older male relatives.

Realy? I've seen some pretty impressive results. They're getting better at placing them. But I know what you mean. A number of years ago hair placement seemed way too geometric and unatural

When I was doing time in the feds, there was this odd-mannered Filipino dude who had 'transplants' on the front of his hairline. It looked like the scalp of a doll, quite literally, with the hair in circular plugs, evenly spaced. It was one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen, and I've seen some **** in my days. Beyond that, it also simply looked bad, but that doesn't matter in prizz. The guy was a trip- he used to wash his face using the urinal, and would play strange adaptations of pop songs on the piano in the chapel, claiming they were his originals. He got mildly hazed for ratting on some other inmates but he was safe because he was so pitiful, I guess. So yes, get hair transplants.

Feel free to ask those crucial questions.

OP asked for my 'tansplants' story, so I shared.

Well, not interested.

Just intrigued.

Usually people just want to know if anyone hurt me in the showers.

And the answer is: NO.


It didn't hurt at all.

Thanks. I will let you know. Getting it done in Austin. Would pics be inappropriate for the forum? i.e before and after?

I seem to recall Joe Biden getting transplants years ago.
