Hello. I don't know if I posted in the right section but here goes...

I'm planning to have a hair transplant done this year. I'm doing some research first. I've read some articles that are quite unbelievable about this so I just want to clarify some things.

Is it true sometimes a clinic will use hair from a deceased person to put in someone's head for transplant? Does it really hurt more than ordinary surgeries?

Thank you.

It is believed that hair transplanted from one person to another will be rejected unless anti-rejection medications are taken for life. The procedure will hurt but that is why using anesthesia is a must.

Thank you for that bit of information.

I found these reviews when I was researching online. Do you think these reviews are reliable?

Have seen this on TV many times as was looking for my son. He decided against it in the end as taking the hair front he back of your head leaves a scar and when some of the hair takes and some doesn't (common thing to happen) He decided he would rather be bald than to look like a hedgehog with Patches here and there.

In the end he grew his facial stubble and has the rest at a No4 on the clippers and it is a great look - Women like men who can accept that their hormones did it and they say the more testosterone you have or something is why you get Male pattern baldness.

Bald men look nice to be honest..... Better than those men who have a comb-over (In my opinion) I love that No2 on the clippers look - Very sexy :-)

The problems I feel are there when you read web sites is they pick and choose which reviews they put on the internet - And the bad ones don't really get to see the light of day - It is best to be able to talk to REAL people.

I did see a guy on TV who had the patch missing filled in by tattoo. It looked great, though I don't know how it would look a decade or two later....

Good luck

I vote no. Love the bald look on my man!

The hair comes from the back or sides of your scalp.

As far as pain, you won't be going to the gym to work out that afternoon, but you won't be screaming and wishing for death either. A local anesthetic is used during the procedure.

Depending on how much hair you need replaced, you may have to go more than once.
