Great pics as always Richie, you still appear to holding steady via the meds too - sweet!

The crown is not done yet IMO - Still a few more months to go..

Im with the other guys here too Richie. Great pics for a sincerly honest visual. I also think that this is a great example of a case where you really waited to see great results. I realise that because you have such thick hair in other areas, this only made it more difficult for the crown area to look "grown in", and be consistant with you the rest of the style. But you have been rewarded for your patience. And obviously with your choice of a top Dr. I hope you continue to see even further improvements. Good luck!

Richie,

It's been awhile since we've seen you on the forum. Welcome back :-).

Your hair's looking great now with very minimal signs of thinning in the crown. Hopefully Propecia will help minimize the risks of future hair loss for you and minimize the need for subsequent surgeries in the future.

Glad to see you're enjoying your new hair!

Bill

hey guys , thanks for the replies ,

Raphael and spex

I have had continued growth over along time for crown work , mine is very slowly getting better and better , even after 15 months I've recently , in only the last month , had pimples and new stuble coming up on the weaker right side of my crown work , so I know I'm still growing which is increasingly incouraging .

HI Bill , nice to be back with and update ,

When I started on the meds , way back in june 2006 I had a big shed , so I simply shaved it all off ungaurded , as it grew back over the next few months I noticed the condition of my hair was alot better , thicker shafts and denser over my scalp , between 6 - 9 months and i knew the shed was over and by then my hair was growing strong enough to style and people even commented , i just told them i was taking meds to re-grow my hair , I don't really give a fuck what anyone thinks anyway , at the end of the day I don't want to go bald so I'm taking positive steps to prevent it , this made my feel more in control so i worried about it less and less , the finishing touch was my Ht .

Below left is the pic which made me realize I was going bald , taken in march 2006 , before the meds , I had a really good response in the front and first third of my head from meds , the crown sadly was too far gone , I still had some hair but nothing i could even style , so i had it filled in with 2100 crown grafts .

For newbies

The area covered with the HT was almost a square , 7cms by 5cms thats an square area of 7x5 =35 cm2 , i had 2100 grafts , mathmatically that equates to approximatly 60 grafts per cm , the majority where grafts with two hair in , I have always had a longer hair style and wanted to keep it that way , I explained this to Dr Feller so we had the same goal from day one .

Below march 2006 and now



Thanks
richie

Hey Richie,

your hair transformation looks phenomenal, congrats!
One Question:

you had ZERO graft placement on top/frontal third, yet your response from "meds" looks absolutely stellar. Question being, if you cut your hair down as short as your pre-meds pic do you think it would be as "thick" in appearance? I only ask because the transformation looks so great and it's hard to tell given the different lengths. Judging by your post med "grown out" shots, looks as though you have no loss. Have the meds really helped in *this* SIGNIFICANT of a way, as appears by your pics?

I'm suffering from Damn Sucks Ba*$@s A@!! Male Pattern Baldness as well...had to bury my grandmother last weekend! AhHAHHAHHAHhahaHHHAha....she had a weird accent anyway--- AhHAHhaHHAHAHhHAHAHH!!!! told every body at work I crashed my wheel chair, hence the "bald spot" in my crown..AHHhahhHAHHAhAHAHAhhAH.....anyway, DR. FELLER looks to be the best way to go, especially judging from your pics; let me know about the hair length discrepancies and meds, and what not! AhhHAHAHhahHAHHAAHhahHAhAHAHh!!!

hey benedict

I have posted more pics from march 2006 and early December 2006 it shows the improvement while just using the meds , I had been on meds since June 2006 ,

The first pic is from march 2006 , the next pic is December 2006 only 5 months after being on meds .



The early pics aren't best quality but you can clearly see how bald I was going , I was left with an island of hair at the front , thin on top and a balding crown , the meds have improved my front and top and all but halted any hairloss , the crown has been improved from 2100 grafts .

This is Feb 2006 and August 2008 after meds and a crown HT .



I now just use 1mg of proscar per day , this works out better value for money , tight yorkshireman I'm affraid .

I believe my native hair is still getting better due to continuation of taking meds .

These pics are to help any guys thinking of trying the meds , I have had no side effects .

richie
