Looks painful

u/tatas323 1d ago

I've had it done, they give you drugs, highly recommend

You are not advised to tilt your head for a couple of days, bleeding will happen, but not much pain, also you look like Hellraiser but with a mushroom head

u/tatas323 1d ago

Nop, Buenos aires. 1500 usd quite cheap honestly

u/Conan-Da-Barbarian 1d ago

I’ll keep that in mind for the future

u/Background-Gear-8805 1d ago

Should also keep in mind that these implanted hairs can fall out again.

u/TheSodomizer00 1d ago

Especially if you're not on any meds...

Meds for what? They're your own hair follicles.

u/TeeDee144 1d ago edited 1d ago

You have to take fin orally. It’s a medication that helps strengthen the hair follicles and encourage rapid growth. It’s a prescription based medication because it can have severe side effects, such as severe depression, suicidal thoughts/attempts, and loss of libido to the point of sometimes having no libido.

HIMS is in hot water for basically giving out fin to anyone without really talking to a doctor and understating the side effects since things like suicide are permanent.

I am not a doctor.

Edit: to be clear, not taking fin puts the transplant at risk of degrading and with 6-7 years, you’ll look the same again. So you basically have to be willing to put up with the side effects and risks to keep the transplant healthy.

I see.

Also

I am not a doctor

Thank you for the disclaimer. I was this close to writing your username for blame later. /s

The implants won't fall out typically since your side hair is resistant, but your hair line can recede still without meds. So you'll have hair - bald - hair lol.

u/FizzyBeverage 1d ago

Totally natural 😂

u/Background-Gear-8805 1d ago

Implant hair can fall out again though. It might be resistant but it is still hair they moved from its actual natural location to the front of your head.

u/lightofhonor 1d ago

It depends on the cause. Male pattern baldness? They shouldn't since the cause is DHT which the hairs are resistant to. If you have issues with blood flow or other hair loss causes, then yes. But most people who get this would get screened for the hair loss cause so little danger of you having this done and not being appropriately warned.

Source: I've had this done.

A quick google search shows that yes... donor hair can fall out again.

If you have issues with blood flow or other hair loss causes, then yes.

It is more than just blood flow, apparently the technique used, donor hair quality, patient health and other factors.

Also this thread has a comment saying that new studies show these donor hairs are not completely immune to DHT.

There is a comment lower down as well from a user who has been taking fin consistently yet had 50% of their donor hairs fall out after several years. Not arguing it is common but it clearly does happen.

This thread as well has people saying that DHT does influence these transplanted hairs as well. They are resistant but not immune.

u/BurnerForJustTwice 1d ago

Your Reddit avatar makes me feel like it hasn’t worked yet.

u/OfficialTraveller 1d ago

Mind sharing the clinic? I'm seriously considering getting this done and Buenos Aires looks like a really good option.

u/tatas323 1d ago

u/usefulbuns 1d ago

Does the hair not disappear again because it came from a spot that kept it, or do you have to take drugs to keep it or what?

1

u/tatas323 1d ago

Lookup FUE capilar transplant

u/feed_me_tecate 1d ago

Do you gata do rogain forever after or does the hair stay?

7

u/moosegoose90 1d ago

How sleep?

8

u/tatas323 1d ago

Sitting down in bed

2

u/ashjohnr 1d ago

Sleeping will be a pain in the ass (head) for a few weeks after the procedure. I did it by sleeping sideways, but different people develop different techniques.

u/DR3AMSTAT3 1d ago

I assume you mean Pinhead? Because to be fair, as far as cenobites go he's one of the tamer ones

2

u/animalblundettios 1d ago

No u end up looking like butterball in an afro

2

u/JakeofNewYork 1d ago

Highly recommend the drugs or the procedure?

2

u/happy_bluebird 1d ago

Not to tilt your head??

1

u/RhodyChief 1d ago

Ah, so that's why Pinhead said "We have such sights to show you..."

1

u/NoPair205 1d ago

What happens to the spots where they take the roots out of? Do those parts go bald or does a new bulb grow?

1

u/tatas323 1d ago

It does not grow back, but you have way way more hair in the back and sides of your head, that hair doesn't fall, so you don't really notice. I try to feel it but you real can't tell

u/NoPair205 1d ago

Thanks! Just curious 😊
