08 Baldness Cures and Consequences: C. Sutured Wigs
Some companies claim to permanently "cure" baldness by actually
attaching what are no more than wigs or hairpieces to your scalp, not
your existing hair.
Cost: Whatever it is, it's a horrid waste of money.
(a) Advantages. There are none. The supposed advantage is that,
unlike with sewn-on-your-own-hair hairpieces, the surgically-installed
ones won't come loose as your real hair grows.
(b) Disadvantages. They are legion. This is a surgical procedure that,
logically, is bound to be unsatisfactory for many very good reasons.
First, your poor scalp will probably never completely heal from this
until you get it removed for good. Second, if you need, every month
or so, to have a sewn-on hairpiece removed for servicing, you surely
would need to have the sutured thing removed too for cleaning and the
addition of new hair for the hairs that inevitably fall out. But you
can't do that servicing without undergoing yet another surgical
procedure. Feel sorry for anyone who has actually undergone this
procedure. Don't do it yourself.
