Is there *any* cosmetic procedure that does anything but delay the inevitable? Only a small % of men ever keep their hairline into their 60's and 70's....the rest of us experience thinning/balding/etc. I started to lose my hair in my mid 20's, and as a performer this was a definite detriment (I'm not someone who would look good with a shaved head; chickenpox scars and a boyish face don't quite work as well as, say Jason Statham, whom you have mentioned in other posts). I got a transplant (this was before FUE was around), and have been more than happy with the results. I take Finasteride daily, and you may be right that it only works for 5 years or so, but hey...that bought me five years!:) My hairline was started to creep back a bit and I am considering "topping up" my HT. I think you make good points, but as I said, every cosmetic procedure is simply delaying the inevitable, until genetic manipulation can fend all this off for good. Skin that has been lifted will sag, fillers will run out, cellulite will return...but if we can keep all these things at bay for an extra 10, 15, 20 years, then that is what we are paying for, in the end. Then when we're old and wrinkly, who cares? I have a sneaking suspicion that when I'm in my 50's or 60's there will be new developments that will help. And if not, I had hair for about 20 years longer than I would have otherwise. seems like an ok trade off to me.
