Is that an unrealistic hope? A hope to where we can get as thick of a head of hair as we want, if we have the money to pay for it...

Is the hair restoration research moving quickly and making progress?

Thanks

Hi HLNewB,

This will never happen! You can do a search here and you'll find this question has been asked at least several other times. There are many problems with this

- Your body rejects foreign tissue. Taking Anti rejection drugs and their many side affects may be acceptable for a life saving operation such as kidney, liver and heart transplants but not for a cosmetic procedure such as HT

- If the body didn't reject the foreign tissues who in the hell would want to have a strip removed from their own head so someone else could have hair.

- other peoples hair isn't going to look natural (color, texture etc.) with your own hair.

- Cost would be extremely high

- No respectible doctor would do it, Medical malpractice insurance would cover it, etc, etc, etc,

As for restoring a completely full head of hair I'm sure things such as tissue regeneration science, hair cloning etc are much more likely but I wouldn't keep my fingers crossed for the near future.

If you still think implanting other peoples hair into your own sounds like a good idea I'm sure you could pull something off is some third world country. Just make sure you report back to us on the results

If it were possible I bet there would be no shortage of donors. Everyone on skid row would have an ear to ear scar.

I think you put it in a nut shell there Rambler
