Hi All,

Here we are at the 4 month mark. And I'm officially out of the doldrums stage (copyright Eman). The 3 month mark was very disappointing but like many others, I have noticed some growth beginning between 3 & 4 months.

I don't have a balding look from frontal view anymore (just the "thinning hair" look). Being 6'0, this is good enough for most of my interactions I have more hair in my hairline than I can remember anytime during my bald days. The crown is coming along as well, although not quite as fast.

I am posting pics from pre-op in this album, along with 1 month, 2.5 month and 4 month updates so you can see the progression through these 4 months.

Your comments are welcome.

PS: The scar, luckily, has become pretty much a non-issue for me. I'll try and get some pics of it tomorrow and upload them as well.

Kman,

I'm glad to see that hair regrowth started for you. The first several months are the hardest part. Now that you are out of the doldrums, I expect the next few months will be filled with excitement as your new locks grow in :-).

Thanks for keeping us posted.

Best wishes,

Bill

yay!! Congrats KMan and let the fun begin for you. Everyday looking in the mirror will be a fun experience. You are going to go from "Where is the growth" to "I want more growth!"

Looking good and it's only going to get more exciting!

I like how things are looking, and glad that you feel the same. Best wishes on future growth!

Also, I was curious what your density figures were (eg FU's per sq. cm) and how they were distributed (crown vs. frontal third)?

Cheers.

Thanks Guys! This is going to make a big difference - I can feel it.

Eman - I'm at "I want more growth!" already

Redkun9 - I don't have the density figures but as far as distribution goes, I believe the approximate distribution was 3500 for the frontal third and 1500 for the crown.

KMan

Kman,

A definate improvement in both frontal and crown regions after only 4 months. Impressed with the early crown growth as this normally seems to take much longer to show. May the months ahead bring excitement and much growth!
