Fred, with some reservations I will say that Swing's "touch and go situation"( FUE) is a bit contradictory to your entitled assertions about this relatively new procedure. There may be other patients who share his similar and misfortunate post surgery problems or it may be that his experience may be an exception. Which possibly might rule Swing an exceptional fellow, and I'm not prepared to give him that platform just yet.
I stated before, a wig is not a permanent solution to hair loss. I won't promote it's virtuous qualities just because I wore one in the past with some moderate success. Nor do I entirely disagree with you or others of like mind/opinion whom consider the idea of choosing to wear a wig off as an overpriced and flimsy alternative to surgery. In the same breath I will say, as a recipient myself of a failed strip surgery ( certainly no exception here), I can not sensationalize or sing the positive merits of surgery either. Your assertion about surgery(FUE) is partly true. A hair transplant can certainly result in moderate to good cosmetic improvement. A word to the wise to those whom rely on (published) statistical data for comfort. Surgery stats are notoriously inflated and often tell only half a story. So pleease read them with a well balanced dose of skepticism and jaundice eye. Wig versus Surgery(FUE)= Risks + Rewards. Neither are absolute. Fred I genuinely wish your's/everyone's present/future surgical experience and outcome ends on the overall positive spectrum of this debatable equation. Life is filled with choices. The challenge is deciding which one is going to be best suited to complement your particular circumstances while understanding that those very same circumstances are often short-lived and can and will change/disappear in the wink of an eye. I'm thankful we have choices.
