It’s D-day! I’m about to get my baldy head sorted!

So here I am. One year on.
I took the plunge twelve months ago and flew half way around the world to have a hair transplant.
I’d never have thought - even only 6 months earlier - that I’d ever do such a thing.
I’m grateful to those I connected with on this forum in those months prior to my decision (to follow through with the procedure), for allowing me to understand quite how easy it is ...(and how inexpensive it is, and how possible it is) to not be a bald dude disappointed with his baldness.
It’s quite strange, now that I have a full head of hair, I simply don’t think about my hair any more. I’m less conscious of how I appear.
Because I’m no longer noticing my receding hairline, and being softly, sub-consciously reminded daily that, like all living things, I am ever so slowly falling apart; that I am - in a Freudian sense - unfixably mortal.
I no longer feel that subtle, only-just-noticeable disappointment in my appearance.
My advice to anyone considering FUE is simple ...JUST DO IT!
My experience has been thoroughly enjoyable. I have no regrets whatsoever. Interestingly not too many people have noticed the change. I’ve only had a handful of people ask me what’s up.
Good luck to anyone reading this who is yet to have the procedure. Again, my advice - if you’re sitting on the fence - is to just bite the bullet and get it done. You’ll never regret it.
Happy, as always, to answer any questions.
Cheers,
Rosco.

Things are still progressing well upstairs. I’m very happy with the results. My donor area is ever so slightly sparse - and it shows if I cut my hair too short on the back and sides, but I think I’m probably the only one who notices.
Happy to answer any questions. Hope everyone’s enjoying their FUE journey.

Today marks 10 months since my FUE procedure in Istanbul.
A year before doing it, I wouldn’t have imagined in a million years I’d go to the extent of having a hair transplant. It’s something only Hollywood types (and [RS bleep]) did.This forum really helped me change my thinking, and it enabled me to see how easy, and how inexpensive, and how possible it is ..not to be bald. I flew from New Zealand to the other side of the world, stayed 3 nights in Istanbul, then flew home again.It cost me (flights included) a fraction of what it would cost to have the same procedure done in NZ or Australia.My recovery has followed the script to a Tee. I looked like a muppet for the first four months. Since then however it’s been thoroughly enjoyable watching my hair slowly but surely grow and thicken up.At 10 months I have an area just behind my hairline that’s slightly thinner than the rest, along with my crown. If these areas never improve from here, I could happily live with it, but I believe they too will thicken up over the next 6 months.After having the FUE procedure, I decided I would happily share what I’ve had done with anyone who asks. Interestingly, only one person (seriously, only one!) has asked if I’ve had something done. Everyone else just says I’m looking good, or looking younger.A large part of my reservations before having it done were about what others would think, and whether it was too self indulgent, and too vain.Well, the fact is everyone’s just a little too busy with their lives to worry about our own inconsequential hairline. I’m thrilled with the result already, and I expect it will continue to improve still.If anyone is considering having this procedure done, just do it! You’ll never regret it. As always, I’m happy to answer any questions.I hope everyone’s enjoying their FUE journey as much as I am.Cheers, Rosco.
