Has anyone had a Bosley hair transplant? Good? Bad?
A6Hours
(or horror) story? Does it look like a natural hairline? Can anyone tell you've
had it done? I saw the infomercial and am considering having my hairline
restored a bit (Either I have the procedure done or I wear a George Clooney
Caesar cut for the rest of my life). I'm only 24 and a Norwood 2 with some
thinning on top. I would like to hear personal stories to help me make my
decision. Please don't try to scare me for the sake of scaring me unless you
PERSONALLY have had a bad experience with transplants and have a horror story
to share. Thanks. Also, what other companies in northern california, besides
Bosley, are good?

about Bosley. Don't limit yourself to just docs in your area
also...consider saving the extra $$$ for travel expenses. We're
talking about your hair/looks here, and the extra effort to find a
good doctor will determine if you will make your situation a little
better or a lot worse.

life (either for the better or worse). The extra $ for travel can be
minimized by booking at least 2 weeks in advance on something like
TRAVELOCITY.COM or EXPEDIA.COM.
My personnel recommendation is Dr. Paul Riggs in Clearwater FL. I've had 3
procedures with him, with 1 more coming up in a couple of months. I am very
pleased with the results, and found him and his staff to be very honest.
Also, he is on Spencer's list of recommended HT Docs.

Bosely over charges. My advice to you is to wait a few years, at only
24 your really should wait and see what kind of pattern your hairloss
will develope.

in hair
transplantation are to retain the hair pattern they had in their teenage
years usually on a
limited budget. Success tends to be measured by how close to the teenage
pattern they
can get & effect on relations with significant others. On limited budgets
hair is usually
grafted (mostly by unethical physicians) on the edges or in the temple area
to achieve the
teenage pattern. In later years with continued hair loss these grafted areas
end up being
incorrectly positioned for men older than 30 years of age. Additionally, the
wispy areas of
hair left by receding hairlines look like small insects crawling on your
head or are
reminiscent of the principal's hairdo in the Archie comics. Since the grafts
usually lie too
low for older men these areas can't be grafted to thicken them up & cutting
the hair short
shows scarring your stuck in a catch-22.
Men in their 30s have long forgotten their teenage hairlines & are more
willing to have
grafts placed higher on the forehead. This positioning is required to give a
natural look in
an older man & account for future hairloss & limited donor site hair
availability. In most
20 year olds placing grafts in these positions will have little visible
effect & so they tend to
be unwilling to have this type of surgery. The 30 something's budget is
usually less limited
so they can have more hair grafts per session, more than just hair around
the edges.
Success in this group is measured more by the natural look of the grafts
(i.e. ability to hide
contrast) & ability to frame the face to achieve a more youthful appearance

Hair Transplantation, and especially one from Bosley guys - SUCKS!!!
Everybody know that Bosley practise is unfair. gUy charge people
depending on who they are, there are 2 doors in L.A. clinic - one for
preop and the other for postop patients, so that they wouldn't meet
each other. WHY? Poor results I guess. Patient's privacy? - NO.
Second of all, for how long medical consultations where performed by
people from the street, not by actual MDs? For very long....until guy
got in trouble.
Who wants to be evaluated by "trash-man" prior to surgery? I don't!
Third of all. You guys, who work for Bosley are just stupid! We know,
that when you sign contract with Bosley, you sertify that you'lll
undergo short term training, regardless your experience. You even have
to take this HT "course", if you are the best HT surgeon in the world.
Why? here is why. Bosley charges you for this training somewhere about
$250.000 - $500.000 But you are acually not paying his, you are
getting in debts. Plus, if you'lll leave Bosley at some point - you'll
be obliged to pay him 5-10% of your income till the rest of your life.
So, Bosley guys = slaves. Why to let a save to work on you?

The cost of a hair transplant depends on several factors, including the number of grafts needed and the location of the clinic. The location of the clinic and surgeons nearby also play a role in determining how much a hair transplant will cost. Regardless of the procedure, the cost can range anywhere from $4,000 to $15,000. Most people pay out of pocket, and insurance rarely covers the cost. However, if you're unable to pay the full price, you may be able to get a discounted rate.
