4 awesome repairs with SMG
Just read a really worrying article that stated there has been a rise in hairtransplant amongst the teenage generation to fit in with their friends and so they can take good selfies for the likes of facebook.
Apparently this came from the New York Post, it is troubling me to be honest..... surely their can't be much of an idea of how things are going to progress at such an early age as 15.

Young men still in their mid-teens are battling male pattern baldness by flocking to cosmetic doctors for hair transplants. Despite the very expensive cost, which could reach $17,000, teens with means are willing to spend to spare from being the butt of jokes for the vanishing hair or receding hairlines at age 15 or 16.
There was a spike in hair transplant procedures in the past 12 months, said Dr xxxxxx, a surgeon based in Islip, reports the New York Post. Dr xxxxxxx gets hairs one by one from the patient s back of the neck and transplants it to the top of the head. The procedure takes up to six hours.
He estimates that the number of his patients, who are getting younger, has increased by about 50 percent in the past 12 months. The patients could just have slight hair recession or be totally bald. The cost of the procedure is often shouldered by the patient s parents, Dr xxxxx said.
The hair transplant surgeon explains the growing popularity of the procedure to the selfie culture as many youth join the trend of taking photos of themselves using their mobile phones from big moments in their lives such as school achievements to minor ones such as just chilling, and posting these images on social media sites. However, young men with less hair are often hesitant to post their selfies on Facebook because of the jokes or negative comments they get about their hair deficiency.
One of Dr xxxxx patients from Manhattan, whom the New York Post describes as follicularly deficient, said, I don t just put pictures on Facebook anymore there were jokes about the way my head looks. The youth adds, I just want to look hot.
In some instances, some of these teen males didn t know they were losing hair until their social media friends comment on their vanishing crown of glory or they realise hair deficiency from the photos posted. Dr xxxx discloses that a lot of these young men lose their self-esteem upon finding out that they have hair problems. They re not comfortable in their own skin, the surgeon observes.
Some don on head covers such as hats or scarves to hide their hair woes. However, for those who could afford the procedure and have undergone it, they had become hat-free and gained more confidence.
