Hair transplants/grafts?

[jenaflynn.livejournal.com]

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with US-Based doctors who do hair transplants/grafts. I've been poking around all over the 'Net, and prices seem to be all over the place. Obviously I have to go in for a few consultations to get a proper ballpark range of what to expect to pay, but I'm just curious if any other folk here have had any experiences that stand out (Good or bad) or know if any doctors that have good deals? I'm looking to stay in the US (Midwest or East Cost please) for the most part.. Maybe Canada-land if they have good deals up there.

Any/all help is appreciated.

Bonus-Super-scary-hairline-pic. Ignore my wretched acne, poor lighting, 30-year-old skin, etc. This is what I have to deal with. A 1" or so dent of missing hair on my left side. Right side has probably less than a 1/4" gone, and the front part of the hairline has not receded at all. I just have a rather large forehead. I'm hoping to get this "dent" filled in for less than $3k or so. I've heard that they can also do scalp advancement, but that just seems a bit scarier and/or riskier?



Thanks.

To follow up on this post, here's a repost of my last comment/reply from it:

"I emailed HR with a rather vague message regarding this today and got a call not 5 minutes later asking if there was an issue they needed to fix and rather franticly worried on the phone. I told her that I needed information and that at the moment, things were fine and there were no fires that need putting out. But my HR and legal person has been very helpful. We will see what information she can find. She's a great person and I really liked her information during the orientation, and she really knows her stuff. I will let all of you know what I find out. It will be a bit because she's working on another majour fire atm, but when she gets me information on both local/regional/federal laws as well as company policy, I'll be sure to update in here."

Well, I decided to forgo the tight sports bra today and wore a soft cup, non-under wire bra today to work, and while my tie did bow around my chest and back down onto my stomach, there appeared to be no adverse effects from the staff or customers. Good enough results to warrant further such experiments and even more so, dare I say, regular wear of a normal bra instead of one that constricts/binds. Needless to say I'm rather pleased about that.
