Did you know that for every hair transplant being performed in the United States, there are 5 breast augmentation surgeries being performed.

Now I know a lot of men, from all walks of life. White collar professionals, blue collar workers, students, bald headed, hairy…you name a group, and I know someone in it. I asked all of the men that I know, if they would encourage their wife or girlfriend to have breast augmentation surgery…..75% of the men asked, said no – not even if it would make their partner feel better about herself. When I asked them the same question, but inserted the word “mother” or “sister” for “wife or girlfriend”, that number went up to about 90%.

I know of one woman who has had this surgery done, and she did it so she could feel younger – and so that men would be more interested in her. I think perhaps she should meet some of the men I know. None of them would be interested in that scene.

So now I ask you this question. If women are having breast augmentation surgeries because they think this is what will attract men….why are men having hair transplants (although at a much less frequent rate). Is it because they think that women wouldn’t be attracted to a bald man?

If that is actually the case, then maybe these men, should spend a lot more time reading this blog.

Boobs vs. Baldness

In the article the doctors argue that a close, clinical examination of a patients scalp has many benefits:

• Better identification of good surgery candidates
• Better forecasting of future hair loss patterns
• Better understanding of the patients hair characteristics
• Better planning of donor and recipient areas

This should be a no-brainer if you are considering hair transplant surgery. Make sure your surgeon takes a real close look at your scalp.

Baldness Detection Critical to Successful Transplant Surgery

…a unique hair-restoration procedure called “Body Hair Transplantation” (BHT) where body hair is transplanted to balding areas on the head.

You read that right: body hair. Of course the first thing I do is take a personal survey.

Face? Too scratchy

Chest and Belly? Not enough

Arms and Legs? Sure so long as I don’t mind the fact that they are a different color and texture. (What would I look like with curly hair?)

Bu- Nevermind…

The article covers these issues, noting that leg hair is often the best source for transplantation. Still, I don’t think so. There’s no health risk to baldness, so what’s wrong with acceptance. Do that and you can move on to bigger and better things in life.

Like tattoos.

Bald Blog #4: Hair Loss Information

Now, this may surprise a few of you who have been with me for a while, since I’m not what you’d call an advocate for hair restoration. Most bald men (and women) just need to accept it and move on. Of course, I’m also not the kind of person who lays down many absolutes. There are always exceptions.

Furthermore, I know the collective you that are my readers don’t necessarily have the same opinion as me, and that’s cool. For you in particular, Dr. Bernstein’s blog is worth your time. He give medical facts about hair loss and hair transplants, marketing crap not included. Yes, he’s in the hair restoration business, but I haven’t yet seen him give a hyped up recommendation on the blog. He plays is very straight and serious, which is probably a nice balance to what you find here.

Bald Blogs #3: Hair Transplant Blog

Here’s the best recommendation I can make: I have no interest whatsoever in a hair transplant… and I’m a subscriber to his blog.

New Link: Hair Transplant Blog

Over the years the grafts have gotten smaller and smaller. So where in the ‘60s and ‘70s they were the size of pencil erasers, they gradually decreased in size until doctors were performing hair transplants using just a few hairs at a time. The major breakthrough came in the mid 1990s when we realized that hair doesn’t grow individually but grows in little tiny groups and these groups are called follicular units.

Makes sense why those stray hairs on my chest or shoulder always come in small tufts. (Perhaps that’s information than you wanted to know about your humble host. Sorry.) Still I’m trying to picture my head with eraser sized plugs. Hmmm… This may require a police sketch artist and a Wooly Willy.
