Rooney is just like thousands of men out there going bald in their 20's

Is it now socially acceptable to have hair transplant surgery now that Wayne Rooney has gone and done it? Let's face it even though he is not the most beautiful person to look at and could hardly be called a style icon the fact that he has taken the step to get a hair transplant could encourage thousands of men to come forward and do exactly the same. They'll just say, "Well if Wayne Rooney's doing it, I don't see why I shouldn't be?" or "if it's good enough for Rooney its good enough for me!"

Trends and fashions are led by celebrities and so hair transplant surgeons in the United Kingdom and around the world must be pretty pleased that somebody so prominently in the public eye has not only had the operation but has been so open and vocal about it.

It is pretty obvious that some Hollywood celebrities have had hair transplant surgery but they tend to be very secretive about it and hide it as if they are embarrassed about it. The fact that Rooney has been giving details about the operation and even posting photographs of the surgery on the internet has done a lot to make hair transplant surgery much more routine and normal than it was previously.

Rooney is just like thousands of men out there who just don't want to go bald in their twenties. Men who were possibly afraid of ridicule should they go for hair transplant surgery should take heart from the fact that this high profile Manchester United footballer went for the operation.

Hair transplant surgery is obviously extremely effective in counteracting the effects of male pattern baldness however any man considering it should be careful to choose a skilled surgeon and one with a good safety record. You should also ask to meet past patients of your prospective hair transplant surgeon to see the results.

If the idea of surgery is just too much for you the next best thing is the hair loss medication Propecia which reverses the natural genetic process of male pattern baldness in around 90 percent of men who use it.
