Body dysmorphic or just needing hair, that is the question? (from Reddit)

I did two hair transplants on a very bald psychologist age 52 or so who was very bald. After he got his hair back, he felt like a hairy person not a bald man with low self-esteem. He told me that he underwent 18 years or psychoanalysis for his self-esteem problem and was angry that he thought he could have had a hair transplant 18 years earlier and solved his problem. I have performed hair transplants on many celebrities and many of them felt that they could not be themselves without hair and once they got their hair, the never focused on hair but their careers. They each told me, regardless of their age, that the hair made them ‘themselves‘ and freed up their creative side. Thanks for the nice write-up.
