46 Year Old Balding Male - Atlanta, GA

I started losing my hair at age 30. At first I thought it was a fluke, possibly related to something I was doing.. using the wrong shampoo, retin-a getting on my scalp etc.. Within a few months I realized I was experiencing typical male pattern baldness. I wasn't the type to do a combover so I began cutting my hair shorter to accomodate. Beforeven long I dropped recognizing the person I saw in the mirror. I looked so much older than I felt. That's when I started researching my options. I tried every medication available but the results were disappointing and I gave up on them. I began to research surgical options. As a physician myself I knew I had to do my homework. After months of research I decided to visit Dr Anderson. He was 400 mIles from where I lived but I thought his credentials were outstanding. His background in art, especially medical artelped me realize that I found the right surgeon. He told me I would need 2 procedures to achive the result I was looking for. After the first procedure my hair slowly grew in over 6 months and by a year the results were excellent. I decided to have the second procedure to increase the densitsity along my part line, even though my friends and family didn't think I needed it. I just had the second procedure yesterday. I would say my experience was almost painless (the only minor discomfort I experienced was with the initial injection of lcoal anaesyhetic). A few hours later I had a mild headache buy this was easily controlled with two doses of Tylenol #3. This morning I have no pain and minimal swelling (I had a little more swelling the first time but gone by day 4 at which time I attended a Christmas eve party...nobody noticed a thing). I will post some pictures when I get home and when the second procedure shows its full effect. I couldn't be happier. The results are so natural that my colleagues at work can't figure out what I did. They assume I'm on a medication for hair loss. The signs of surgery are gone within 5-7 days and the growth of the new follicles is gradual. I couldn't be happier.

I saw Dr. Anderson and within 10 minutes I knew he was the right surgeon to help me. The hair transplant procedure was easier than going to the dentist, although quite a bit longer (I was there about 11 hours). It took several months for the results to be obvious but the slow progress made it less obvious that I had a procedure. I would do it again without hesitation.
