Predator,

It's good to see that you are starting to acquire some optimism since I recall you were pretty unhappy about the healing and waiting period.

Your hair is really starting to sprout. But I'd say in a few months, your cautious optimism will turn to excitement over your new thick locks.

Keep us posted.

Bill

I have had a few concerns regarding redness, swelling,itching and lack of feeling in the scalp- also in the areas not addressed by the operation.

At four Months I have no numbness, some redness and itching,some forelock loss and results that can be favourably compared to my original pictures.

I am not ready to do cartwheels or backflips, but for a third of the way the progress is for me ok.
I'd like to see how well the hairline closes in and would be pleased to see my original thickness.
I'm still glad I went to Dr Rahal and we will see what month 5 provides.

We'll see Bill
I will certainly post updates here each month, for better or for worse, until the final result.
Thank you for you interest and valuable support

Hi Predator:

Your results are visibly coming in now. There is a noticeable difference and obvious progression between your 2, 2.75 and even 3.5 month pictures.

Maybe its the lighting, but I don't see too much of the redness really. Also, you seem to have enough growth to adequately cover the recipient area.

You may not be ready for cartwheels just yet, but from what I've been reading, you aren't even at the half way mark in terms of fullness yet. I'm playing the waiting game myself and am far far behind you. Good luck to you; keep us posted.

predator, it is totally normal to be a little down at your stage. even after my second one when i knew what to expect i felt slightly bummed at 4 months time. trust me, IT WILL GET BETTER. I really cannot stress enough how important it is to give your ht the full 12 months before making any kind of judgment. do a search for a poster named spex who posted the difference on one guy from 12-18 months...

Ready
I'm concerned about good results.
I know what you are going through now, and I hope you find what you are hoping for. I think your pics look very good.

I expect excellent results. I went to one of the best Docs, as did you...A matter of time
