I've had 2 procedures with Bosley,2000 grafts...
- 9 Apr 2011
I've had 2 procedures with Bosley,2000 grafts each time. I would be completely bald back to the crown without them. It's very painful in the days after for me but my pal had the same procedure twice with the same doctor as me and only the second one as bad. I got Quasimodo like swelling and black eyes each time.
After all that, I still think it's 100 per cent worth the money. It looks completely natural and I have to show the scar at the back to convince people I had the procedure. I need a 3rd just to finish the job but no-one comments on my baldness anymore and when I see people for the first time in a while they comment.
No-one has ever said "you've got more hair" etc. They say "you look great.....younger.....so healthy...."
Have the procedure, take 2 weeks off work so the scabs can fall off and the redness can fade and wear a hat in the sun in the months afterward....(my head went a fluorescent red)
About 4-6 months later it starts to grow and from that moment every time you look in the mirror for the next 12 months...you have MORE hair....so cool!
I think it's a waste of time to have 1000 grafts, I will have 6000 by the end just to have a decent cover.

My rating:
Bosley are not liars or butchers or conmen. They are just big and successful for a reason.... they're good.

results but it took a long time to see them and it was more painful than I expected. Also the swelling and bruising was worse Melbourne hair
than I hoped
I think that, for most men, unless you're prepared to have 3 procedures totally 6000 grafts at a cost of 25k over a 3-4 year period, you're probably best not bothering.
You may have less expectations than I did and be happy with less grafts but the only really happy patients that I've met are the ones who've had a large number of grafts...

Its a really long day in the chair so get someone to drive you home after.
I use Propecia and Rogaine (generic version from Walmart) which has slowed down the hair loss but who knows....
Its a good idea to get it done while you've still got some left up top...after my first my scalp had no cover but after the second I had enough hair not to look so bad at all.
Good luck!!!
Hi Sam,
Welcome to the Hair Transplant community. I'm so happy it all worked out! It sounds incredibly painful, but beauty is pain sometimes, right ;) How long had you been thinking about having this done? Are you comfortable sharing pictures? We would love to see them. Please keep us updated how your next procedure goes.
Thanks so much for the review,
-Britt
