The first couple of months what hair was transplanted (seen as shaved stubble) fell, my scalp itched considerably as my nerves regenerated, especially after showers, and the hair growth didn't occur until 6-7 months later. Then you factor in normal/slow growth time, so it takes about 9-10 months before you see any hair at all. I would say give it a solid year, that is why I waited over a year between transplants--and it was a decision well made. And by the way, do not count on seeing much hair growth during the first year.

The first surgery was done at age 21, and the subsequent two surgeries at ages 23 and 25. My hair was considerably thinning at the front (at such a young age!) but I had very thick hair in the donor area (and still do). I am now 37 years old. My scalp is flexible, I have thankfully not had some of the issues which I've read about in some comments above, I do take Propecia, and I see that the hair remaining on the top of my head is that which has been transplanted when I was younger. I am thankful for having done the procedure, and I do believe it was a Dr. Johnson in Boston Bosley who did mine. I highly recommend you research the credentials of your doctor and do not get your surgery done in smaller cities with lesser known physicians. Above all, be realistic, and although I remain with a full head of hair, it is not full like that of a 16 year old, nor would I want it to be.

I went in and they kept telling me what my hairline was going to be before i said anything. We agreed that it would be around where i wanted it to be but he finalized it when i was doped up on drugs and of course i smiled and said YEEESSS~~~~. Now its 7 months later and im only seeing a couple hairs on the front of my head and thats it. I had 7,000 transplanted and im not happy bc not many has come in after the few that came in 3 months into it. the hair i do have is very very frizzy and the texture is like that of a brillo pad you use to wash dishes. they tell me to spend another 500$ on getting a hair comb but who the hell knows. all i know is i dont care how much i have on the top of my head bc my hairline looks stupid and its too damn high.

Everything seemed fine with me. After reading these comments I hope most of my hair comes through. I'll be pretty upset if most of them don't. What are some other places to go to, beside Bosley? What are some other methods people would recommend? I had the procedure down over a month ago. Everything seemed fine with me. After reading these comments I hope most of my hair comes through.

Have a problem and try to get it resolved. The only way you are going to get corrective action (refund) is too threaten a lawsuit or go public with your results. Not everyone has issues but be among the many that do across the US, what a nightmare. Bosley promotes themselves as the leaders in the industry, why? They are the best known because of advertising that's it. You owe it to yourself before you part with your hard earned cash to visit with several experts. Bosley is a sales organization, you need a doctor who cares about you. The doctor in Dallas was an ER doctor, he is not even a general surgeon. They have a cardiologist in Beverly Hills doing hair transplants. Who would leave being a cardiologist to do HT's? A cardiologist who was not a good cardiologist. You want one of these guys doing your surgery? You guys have to be smarter when choosing who you have do your work , research, research and then more research. This is surgery, not a hair cut. This is forever, good or bad, you own it forever no going back. Bosley has great advertising and good sales people. They even have women selling the procedure that will tell you how hot you will look once it is done and they would date you. C'mon wake up that is sales. Make sure you look at all documentation before moving forward, don't wait till the day you get there, after driving or flying in to find that they will not be responsible for issue that arise later. Read the release the day you go in for your consult not on the day of procedure. It's a numbers game with them just as with any other sales organization, some will bite and some will not. They will sweep the problems under the carpet the quickest way they can so you never hear about them. Bosley Medical Violations is from an unhappy patient but what he says is true. You may be one of the lucky ones but you can also be one of the unlucky ones and forget about it at that point, your gonna be a mess forever. Think..... Good Luck-Go non-surgical better and reversible. Hi Everyone,

I went to Bosley - nice people - but the bid is for about 12-15K, for 2200 and 2600 grafs. What concerns me is if I have to do additional procedures, and the medications including the laser comb. I also have to admit I am concerned about the outpatient part of the procedure. I am reviewing the paperwork but I am also going to get a 2nd opinion from a Doctor on the Hair Transplant Web Site this Friday. I thank everyone for their comments and if you e-mail me or post any advice I would appreciate it. I had to apply 5FU on my scalp for a dead skin peel and it took some hair off.

It seems like Bosley is a reputable company from what I know of so far when reading their website & AskBosley Blog, but I just want some first-hand accounts from women patients.

I've been fighting hair loss since I was 19. Now 42. I travelled to Canada and had a transplant at the Seager Hair Transplant Centre ($4,000 in 1995) (back when the $ was worth something). Great results. Currently I'm using Nizoral, Laser Comb, and Promox to avoid furher surgury. Nicely written article. I’ve been fighting hair loss since I was 19. Now 42.
