Comparison after about 4300 grafts in 2 procedures, 8 months post op 2nd:












A few thoughts. Boy i sure have come a long way,, i no longer have any second thoughts about going out in public, and i feel much less alienated and closer to my peers. I am grateful for living in this time of age where these things are possible.

That being said, the work is not perfect. The scar is rather wide, and some density is lacking at the hairline. The scar doesn't bother me as much as the density though, but chances are that i will probably be going a 3rd time for a small repair+density FUE session. I have talked over these concerns with the Dr. and i remain positive about the whole thing.

Scar:



Density (7months)



Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated..

Congratulations on your so far successful project. Its great that you are feeling much better within social situations.

Im guessing that your dying your hair this lighter colour? Are you as comfortable with the result if you have your natural colour. I think that it would hide the scar better, but as you mention your are more concerned with density in the hairline. Either way, it looks great!

Thanks.

Yea i've dyed it platinum blonde, because i find that it hides the scar better, as well as making the hairline thicker so it's win/win.

So far so good, this doesn't look like the end of the line for me yet though.

MiketheDane,

Wow, your hair looks great. And I think the blond look is very becoming and further enhances it.

Congratulations my friend - you deserve it.

Bill

Looking really good Mike, really good. Might very well get some additional thickening in the coming months, too -- you look great right now, and will only improve to round things out.

The blonde locks seems to have been a great idea, too -- I might try that myself.

Thanks man - you should try it! It's summer after all, though you will most likely end up half-orange with your dark hair..

Looking good Mike.

I was just wondering whether you consulted with anyone before bleaching your hair? I understand having very low contrast between hair and skin colour makes any imperfections less noticeable. However, I was wondering whether the chemicals used to dye the hair could have a negative effect on weak hairs and could it lead to more hair loss?
