4 awesome repairs with SMG
Just read this whilst browsing and i think Dr Ball makes good sense in what he's saying. Interesting read.

Interesting read and so true. I was in my mid-twenties when I first consulted with Dr. Farjo. I'd receded and thinned out at the front but my crown was intact. He stressed the importance of planning long term but all I wanted back then was to restore all the hair I'd lost - I really didn't think I'd care how I would look when I was forty or fifty.

Thank God I listened to him in the end because those twenty years since have flown by and I have decent coverage throughout with an age-appropriate hairline (and still some grafts in reserve if needed).

I can't stress enough to all the twenty-somethings considering a transplant - long term planning is THE most important consideration. You may not think you'll care about your hair in twenty plus years but believe me, you will!

The media are thriving on these young reality tc guys who are having transplants right now at clinics who don't know what they're doing.
They have set the HT industry back a number of years.
I foresee a number of repairs and unhappy young guys in a few years.
