Having The Balls To Have A Hair Transplant

[Rudiger]

I had a transplant in February this year. I had all the usual fears and doubts. It's not a small thing to undertake.

I work from home so I didn't have the problem of explaning to an office. It took a good 4 to 5 weeks before I looked "normal" again. That 4 to 5 week gap is the problem. Your recipient area looks sun burnt for about that amount of time - so even when the grafts fall out, you're left with the weird straight-line sun-tan mark. I just wore a cap and got on with it. Of course, in the first week or so, you look f*****g weird - you definitely need to take one to two weeks off work if you do work as an employee.

I was thinking an entire month actually. I'm a line manager over a lot of people so there will no doubt be suspicion and confirmation of it, it's an impossible place to keep anything secret.

The boss getting a hair transplant will be a big gossipy deal, or maybe I'm making that in my mind. I have a lot of friends there and some truly lovable people that I know genuinely won't scoff or laugh at me, maybe I should just remain focused on the one's who matter.

I understand your rationale.

People don't hate hair transplants because they're seen as vain, no, everyone knows the importance of looks, of hair, even the people who have their heads up their asses know that they're spewing nonsense if they ever utter the phrase "It's the inside that counts!" You know this, they know this, everyone knows this.

No, the reason they hate is: you're improving yourself, people hate seeing others improve, and hair is a dramatic improvement on top of that, as we know that looks are king, and people know it. They would want you to accept your decay, so they can shine a little more next to you, or at least no feel so inferior in comparison. By elevating yourself, you're depriving them of that.

And if you get in trouble for having had a hair transplant, it will be for this reason, not because it is seen as vain.

A little lying? The only more elaborate lie I could think off would be wearing a hair piece or having a mistress. This is going to take a lot of energy and dedication, but if you think it's worth it, why not? I hope it all works out for you.

Telling the truth takes less energy, and I really don't think I'll get mocked and laughed into oblivion or fired for having a hair transplant.



I've dealt with colleagues having plastic surgery before. A female colleague got a gastric bypass, she didn't keep it a secret, and what happened is that the ugliest, bitterest b****s at the office started gossiping like crazy, and even attacking her to her face "why would you even do that, at your age, appearances don't matter to anyone! What a waste of money! You're irresponsible!" They were quite aggressive about it. Insecurity, as always. They quickly got tired of it, and now she looks great, from fat to totally bangable 40 year old MILF. No gossip anymore, only positive remarks.

I know no one wants to hear it here, but the best way to go about this is: tell the truth and own it.

Try to lie and to be sneaky about it and that's when the problems will start to escalate. If they suspect and discover you, they'll see you as a sneaky liar who thought no one would notice, and they would be right. By telling the truth, you disarm people somehow, or if they have something to say to you, it will out come out at once. And you can be like my female colleague: "OK, you're done?" and move on.

My 2 cents.

Yep, especially, if people have pigeon-holed you as "baldish dude" - no way do they want you to be full-head dude later on. They already put you in the category as "guy who's on the way to bald". You reversing nature? f*** RIGHT OFF. People hate that. HATE IT. I've seen it over and over. They f*****g hate it. Because THEY are heading to decaysville. They are decaying away, and how very dare anyone who defies that rule? Especially when it's expensive and complicated. They want you to be a decaying bald rat, not a full-head God "because money, science and balls".

Thank you for this Fred, it sounds like the right way to go about it. While I may not advertise the fact I'm getting a hair transplant, in one-on-one conversations I could tell people, and just let it get out there. I will wince at the thought of everyone knowing.

But short term pain for long term gain.
