Transcripts
are you gonna regret your hair
transplant I'm David de musio and I'm
Steve Cook I thought about this a lot
before I had a hair transplant and was
pretty terrified of regretting my hair
transplant I speak with people that I
meet on a pretty regular basis just at
the Home Depot walking around the
airport who mentioned watching these
videos and often show me hair transplant
surgeries that they regret talk to us
about that and you know why people might
regret their hair transplant and what
you're doing to keep people from
regretting their hair transplant we
don't want anybody to regret their hair
transplant but I will tell you that if
you follow the guidelines that we've set
out in many of our videos you're not
going to have a regret by today's
standards doctors that are board
certified are not going to start putting
hairs here and here and here and making
it look stupid where you're then oh my
God I'm regret my hair transplant a lot
of the panic and a lot of the cold feet
when it comes to researching online
which you know what the internet likes
to do is scare you 30 years ago where
plugs were put in the scalp and there
was no hair left around it so as as the
rest of the hair started to fall out and
finasteride was non-existent you were
left with doll's hair I'll name three
actors that this happened to William
Shatner Elton John and Burt Reynolds hey
these guys had a lot of money back in
the 70s that were already famous actors
and entertainers and they got hair plugs
without the use of finasteride they ran
out of donor hair because the plugs were
huge four millimeter punches like the
backside of an eraser on a pencil and
they filled up their hairline that was
mainly the goal and as their other hair
faded it started looking like a doll's
head that's a hair transplant to
regretting by today's standard are you
going to regret your hair transplant if
you make the wrong decision go to the
wrong doctor they take out too much hair
they take everything out of the back
because they're trying to impress you
you pay a low price you don't get any
good care you might regret your hair
trans and there's some celebrities out
there that are talking about the scars
in the back of their head I mean these
guys are shaving their heads so they've
done an fut procedure 25 years ago and
they're now choosing to shave their
heads we really don't know how much hair
they have left we don't really know what
their hair transplant looks like but
they're decided to shave their heads and
they make a lot of money and their
celebrity status and they're saying
don't get a hair transplant because
you're going to have scars like me it's
really about having a conversation about
you know the risk reward here these
doctors board certified that do this
full-time that are Specialists are not
going to take a risk with any patient
it's just not going to happen so if they
see something that looks like it's risky
there's no way they're doing it they're
not even going to give you the option so
it's it's truly a matter of doing your
homework that's how you are not going to
regret your hair trends you have to
choose wrong doctor be pretty uneducated
for a pretty long amount of time and not
doing anything about it so kind of what
you mentioned I I think that's one of
the biggest potential regrets is someone
that gets a hair transplant surgery then
gets off finasteride forever like me I
got off an asteroid I was off it for
like three or four years after one of my
hair trans plants and I did have some
regression during that time at least I
had you know three or four years to
decide to make the right decision to get
back on finasteride got back on it and
now my hair looks better than ever I
mean I had to get another surgery or two
after that to get it to get it back
there but you know I've now recovered
from that it wasn't an irrecoverable
mistake if you're making you know the
right decisions and you're really not
just shooting yourself in the foot or
completely lacking education then this
isn't really something anyone should
really regret at this point overseas
hair transplants these days it doesn't
bother me if there's good doctors good
clinics board certified have great
results to show you more than happy to
get an airplane and go there but what
I'm seeing is that that overly
aggressive hairline you got to remember
we're planning on you losing more hair
David's a little bit more aggressive
than mine but my hairline is kind of
where you want to go because what if you
start losing hair and you need more hair
to transplant when these guys and I see
it I'm sure it happens here too I'm not
just picking on overseas transplants but
when they put that hairline so low it
literally looks to me almost like the
hair systems that I used to wear when I
was like 23 years old and I loved it it
was great okay but I was 23 years old I
wasn't like 50 and I had a hairline like
down here you don't want to be
aggressive you can be aggressive maybe a
second time around that once you get
your feet wet the title of this video
are you going to regret your hair
transplant a low hairline on a first
surgery if you're not using the
medication you may regret it if you have
any more questions about this subject

reasons do not get a hair transplant
