Jon Gosselin’s Hair Transplant Made Him Cheat On His Wife?

Hi Doctor,
I keep seeing Jon Gosselin of that Jon and Kate show on the entertainment news programs about how he cheated on his wife. Do you think that hair transplant you gave him was what gave him the courage to stray? Sorry, cheap shot! Ha Ha

Ouch. This is an uncomfortable topic to discuss (since it should be a private matter), but since this is the 3rd email I’ve received about it, I thought maybe I should address it once and put the topic to rest. This site isn’t TMZ, afterall.

I saw the same story on the cover of the Us Weekly magazine that we get in our office, and I couldn’t help but wonder the same thing for an extremely brief moment (as the public really only knows him as a hair transplant patient and what the reality TV show editors put forth). Then I came to my senses.

Obviously, fame brings on circumstances we might not normally find ourselves in, but it should be obvious that a hair transplant isn’t going to force you to do anything. That’s such a convenient excuse, if there ever was one. Hair does give a man more confidence, but if the allegations are true (again, it’s none of our business), I’m sure there are more factors at play than just some enhanced cosmetic surgery that caused this man to find himself in this precarious situation. I guess the one upside to this whole thing is that I can now see Jon Gosselin’s great hair transplant results on the cover of major magazines…
