There were rumours of possible concealer being used, I doubt it but some very well known people on the HT forums were pretty solid in their opinion. I doubt someone who rocked the balding look would suddenly use concealer after a HT especially as a pro footballer where they have to play in all weather conditions. But most HT patients have to wait many months after their surgery before showing any results rooney had what looked like great results after only about 3 months. Plus when rooney let his hair grow out the baldness wasnt as noticable as when he shaved it really close so the chance in appearance can sometimes be less than it seems.

Added to that he went to a UK doc, uk doc's have a poor rep in the HT field, but if his results are genuine it certainly makes you wonder if the uk is catching up. Some cynics may think that as he's famous and a walking advertisement he would of recieved the best possible help with a money no option approach. One of the main reasons I havent had a ht is the travel I couldnt face travelling around the world on my own to have the surgery but if your going down the ht route you cant put travel in the way.

Theres no doubt thesedays if you do your research your likely to get good results but so many dont research it.

Rooney lost a lot of hair at n early age which isnt ideal for a HT he would I assume have tahe propecia for a year or so to see if he responds and of course he will now need to take it all the time, if hes lucky and has the donor further HT's would be likely maybe for the crown. I think unless you see it in person and know if concealer is or isnt being used then thats the only way you'll know for sure how good the results are thats why most people are told to see ht patients before having the op.

I've decided to take the hair piece rourte as I've thought about a HT for years and never done it at least with a hair piece I can look back and say I looked good, and the chances are the hair piece would look better or at least as good as a HT so it feels I havent wasted years.

I don't want to sound like a prick but one of the reasons I stopped going on hairloss forums was the posts of celebs and HT's, I dont want to know, so I thought a hair piece forum would not have these posts. Would it be possible to post about celebs and HT's in the lounge?
