Hair transplant
Hair transplants and why women do it
Sometimes as women age, and sometimes not age related, hair loss or even baldness can happen. For women any type of hair loss is devastating. Women usually feel more judged on how they look and hair is an important aspect of physical appearance. Once a woman realizes that she’s losing her hair short of anything to try to cover it up. Weeks, hair extensions, vitamins, nutritional supplements and more will be tried but will not always work. For some women the only option is hair transplant surgery.
Unfortunately many times women are not the ideal candidates for this type of surgery because the way it is performed. Doctors take abundant hair growth on the back and sides of the scalp and transplanted to the fun of the scalp where traditionally, especially in men, this is where the thinning occurs. Many women do not experience hair loss this way. Many women have hair loss all over the scalp so at times this type of surgery is not a viable option. The woman who has the same type of baldness pattern as a man hair restoration surgery will work just fine.
More and more women are looking into hair transplant surgeries these days. In times past women just didn’t think of doing this and they wore wigs are just dealt with the hair loss. They perhaps trite hair extensions or wearing hats or bandannas or anything else they could think of. However as this type of surgery becomes more advanced and more breakthroughs happen every day women are considering it.
To Comb, Or Not To Comb That Is The Question.
I know many people suffer from some levels of Male Pattern Baldness and balding men are quite acceptable in today’s society. However, most balding men that I know are well over their 40s and I am just over 20! Moreover, balding to me seems such a big issue to live with because up till now I cannot accept myself being without hair and it’s a tormenting issue that bothered me on a daily basis.
One of the largest psychological impacts of MPB is sociophobia. I was really shy and lack of self confidence during college when my head started to thin rapidly. Picnics, parties and day outings were No-Nos for me because I was afraid of the frequent comments and stares from my friends and the opposite sex. Therefore, I spent most of the daytime to classes and necessary appointments only. The only time I ever ventured out the house was during the nights where my hair loss would appear less obvious.
As years passed by, my hair was getting thinner and thinner by the day and normally I spent almost an hour a day trying combovers to conceal the front and top balding areas. Imagine that frustration of trying standing in front of the mirror every single day! Every time when I stared myself at the mirrored made me felt hopeless and agitated about my condition. Eventually, I became ever more conscious about my hair and every stare and comments created a sudden paranoia in me. It was then I decided I need to do something about it.
I finally decided to have hair transplant surgery and have been happy ever since. When I looked into it, the physicians were very helpful, and did not rush me into making any decisions, they simply informed me of all my options and let me think about it.
