    Great story! Kinda weird, but kinda cool.

    Now, I have to ask the question on everyone's mind: if they can grow an ear in a woman' arm, why can't they grow hair on a man's head? o_O

    They can but not in the right places.

    The only way to regrow hair on the top of the head is implanting hair follicles from the nape of the hair. Trump had a barbaric procedure where the flap of the scalp is cut out and moved more towards the top of the head. This allow him to a comb over, which explains the weird hair line.

    I wouldn't call it "barbaric", although I would never undergo such a procedure despite considerable thinning. I just buzz it all off, boom, done.

    I would. Oh yes, definitely. Lots of barbarism there - all kinds of it!

    To barbar or barber, that is the question.

    Yeah, they don't do those scalp flap procedures anymore because they are so barbaric. I have friend who is a famous hair restoration Doctor. Years ago, I was developing a Mickey Mouse hairline (Or Bella Lugosi hairline). He filled in my hairline by implanting tiny hair follicles in to the hairline. The hair was taken from the nape of the neck. To this day, I grow my own natural hair in the hairline. Of course, my procedure was tiny, and not invasive. Also, my friend doesn't cut out a strip from the scalp, he just shaves down the hair in the neck, extracts the follicles and transplants it! It looks good to this day. That is the difference between my procedure. Not barbaric. What Trump had is definitely barbaric.

    Trump's procedure struck me as so weird, I wondered very briefly if he'd had any other off-the-wall transplants... No, Stormy! Don't tell me. I've decided I definitely don't want to know.... under any circumstances.
