Jason Gardiner reveals full barnet
Aug 2011
Jason Gardiner has been following in Wayne Rooney's footsteps and
tweeting pictures of his new hair transplant.
The Dancing On Ice and Born To Shine judge has undergone a second
course of treatment — spending another six grand on top of the
£30,000 he already forked out.
The results after two ops were plain to see as the 39-year-old
proudly paraded his new look on the internet.
The acid-tongued judge, who underwent the first procedure a year
ago, said he was impressed with his new barnet.
But he admitted he needed patience as it took a while for the hair
to fully grow.
In July he had been spotted covering a bald patch to hide it from
photographers.
Now, after his top-up Follicular Unit Transplantation — broadcast
live on the internet as part of a TV show called The Bald Truth — he
was thrilled to show off his full head of hair.
Writing on Twitter, he said: "Day 1 post op & head is feeling tight
with slight dull throbbing pain.
"You would never know I've had it done. No swelling or bruising at
all. Photo taken just now in my hotel room in LA after my 2nd FUT
procedure!"
Discussing why he had the transplant, Jason said: "Everybody, from
family to my closest friends, said I looked great without hair.
"But this procedure I'm having is not for anybody else, it is purely
and simply because of the way I feel about myself.
"This is a process that requires patience. You don't see the yield
until 10 months to a year after. So initially, my closest friends
were like, 'Oh my god, what have you done to yourself?'
"And, to a lesser extent, so was I, because you go in with this
pre-conceived notion that the hair is going to start growing through
fairly rapidly but the reality is quite the opposite.
Jason, 39, blamed the second op on his “very advanced baldness”.
Asked to describe the pain on a scale of 1 -10, he said:
“Anaesthetic injections = 5. Once they kick in =0. Post op = a
tender 4. It’s really nothing painful to endure… a sprained ankle =
8.”
Later, he posted: “Day 1 post op & head is feeling tight with slight
dull throbbing pain. You would never know I’ve had it done. No
swelling or bruising at all.
"If you are going to do this, you have to be patient. But a year
down the track, I can't tell you how impressed everyone is,
including myself, at this procedure."
