Its true that the chances are you will need more than 1 HT but that also depends on how much you've lost already and if you are a good responder to propecia.

And thats the problem.
Its a gamble.
No one can predict what is going to happen with your hair loss in the future and whether or not you will have sufficient donor hair to cover that hair loss.
So you made NEED a further transplant, but not be able to have one.
All the money in the world can't then buy you what you need.

Likewise no one can predict how you'll respond to the necessary drugs and you won't know if they are having side effects until those medical problems appear.
What happens then? You need the drugs to maintain your appearance, but you can't take them because they're ruining your health.

These are all very real & distinct possibilities that have to be realised & considered.

A surgeon will only be able to deal with your appearance here & now.
Its a fact that your appearance will alter with time.
Those changes will present further complications and the need for more surgery and that just guarantees a surgeon more work.

You have to think about yourself and the consequences for your future.
The surgeon won't be doing this for you.

You're the gambler and the surgeon is the casino.
You might get lucky, but the casino is always the ultimate winner.

I'm not saying "Don't do it".
But I am saying "Be aware of the odds and exactly what you're getting into".
