» » ARMANI turned you down for low hairline work, and the rest of your head

» » That’s impressive.
»
» When I went to Toronto for the transplant, on the day of my procedure, I
» filled out the forms, they took my payment, prepped me, took pictures, put
» me in a gown, etc. Then they brought me in to meet Dr. Armani. He said he
» didn’t want to do the procedure, that I didn’t need it. I tried to convince
» him otherwise. We went back and forth, and after about 15 minutes I
» realized that I wasn’t going to change his mind, so I gave up. I was fully
» aware of his aggressive reputation (which is a big reason why I chose him
» in the first place), so I sat there during the conversation almost laughing
» to myself about the irony – here was Armani telling someone not to be so
» aggressive, warning about future loss, etc.
»
» BTW, Dr. Armani is fully aware of how controversial he is. We talked about
» all the flack he gets, and he became very animated. I think he truly
» believes in his strategy of aggressively treating patients via hair
» transplants.
»
» » I’m not gonna hate on you though. Once you see any hair going, you
» want
» » the process stopped like hell whether it’s all gone or barely any. If
» I
» » was in your position and I knew the probable loss would be there w/o
» meds,
» » then I’d be on meds too.
»
» That was the smartest thing I’ve done. I started noticing lots of hair
» coming out in the shower, on my pillow, etc., and then saw my hairline
» creep back ever so slightly, and I got on the meds immediately. I was
» diagnosed by a dermatologist with AGA (so I know I really have it…I
» already knew from my brothers that my family has the genes for it.), but he
» wanted me to use minoxidil to maintain my hair. Shortly thereafter, I
» started using finasteride off-label. I’ve virtually maintained all my hair
» since.
»
» » But I will say that I would probably not be on here at the HM research
» » area so much. I’d have said “f*ck it” and stopped thinking about it if
» I
» » knew I was always gonna be so well within NW#1-transplantable range.
»
» I think most people would agree with you. Like I said, though, I like my
» hair, and I have obsessive/complusive disorder to some degree. The reason I
» am so hot for Follica’s procedure is that it’s the one thing I can do to
» potentially get what I want – hair transplants are not an option for me
» right now, and the existing meds on the market arn’t that good at growing
» hair at the hairline. So I am stuck. But Follica’s procedure is something I
» can try at home, and I don’t have to worry about a doctor rejecting me.

You’re nuts buddy :slight_smile:
