Repo-man,

I agree that given the comparision photos Dr. Feller has presented, there is a big improvement.

Remember that those with extensive hair loss cannot achieve "true" density, but only an illusion. Hairstyling plays a huge role in this. Your messy hair pictures show your hair without any layering effect, that is, hair overlapping each other creating more visual density.

As Facelessman said, you should still experience some thickening of the hair. But I expect another large session will help you meet your long term hair restoration goals.

Best wishes,

Bill

What I find most surprising is the fact that when combed properly, the hair seems to hold up well when wet. I know many people without visible loss who do not hold up that well under moisture.

I think it looks good combed forward. I also now realize that there are many "home run" photos on the internet that can probably be combed in ways that would completely alter one's perception.

This has turned out to be an extremely interesting thread.

Thank you Bill.

Ceasar,
Yes, you would be suprised how different even the best examples of hair transplantation would look if those patients didn't style their hair optimally.

A single Hair Transplant without OPTIMAL styling is like a gun without the right caliber bullet: near useless.

Thanks for your input.

I can vouch for this, as I know I have done at other times in other threads....in my circle of mid-20 friends I'm known for having "cool" even "thick" hair....and under many conditions, and certainly the ones that matter most, my hair does look both cool and thick. However....however....just how thick and cool it looks is intricately connected to how (well) I style it.

I considered taking some shots of my hair under some conditions and posting -- and I don't mean absurd or extreme ones, either -- to show how much different my hair can look.

It's an incredibly easy and swift process for me to style my hair, but it is an essential one.

repo-man,

the current pics on your blog look great, I am of indian origin too and was a bit concerned - i guess i we should not make any conclusions so early.

Just as a side note : have you done an audit of how many grafts placed have actually started growing ? No offence to the Dr. but, i think I read in one of his previous posts in this thread that the grafts should be placed carefully/differently for an asian/middle-easterner otherwise they may not all grow... see the Dr.s post on page 1

thanks.
