Eman,
You setting some people up for a disappointment when they start to lose their hair and give the "meds" a try.

I agree with you Leeson and you bring up a good point. Typically these questions (for me at least) are coming from non-balding friends and family. So, in my mind I don't feel bad about using this response.

My two really bald buddies are the ones that know I had a procedure (so no bending of the truth there) and if any other balding buddies began to seriously inquire about things I would probably tell them in confidence what was truly going on so they would know not to expect these kind of results.

I'd like to add that the re-growth is quite gradual. That is, we don't experience a new head of hair "overnight".

I liken the post-HT period to gradually going bald - in reverse.

When you are around people on a regular basis, they simply don't notice the gradual change.

When you see someone you haven't seen in a long time, they seem to notice a change for the better. But these folks can't quite put their finger on exactly what has changed.

The closest anyone has come to noticing my post-HT is to say that "your hair looks like it has changed color."

And, she was partly right. What she was looking at was more hair than she saw a year ago.

I interpret this to mean that my head has more hair on it than before. Hence, there is more hair color to see and less scalp.

There is a great post on another thread here called "hair gazers" - or something like that. The topic concerns people who stare at one's receding hairline.

I haven't ran into one of these people in quite a while. There is much less recession to scrutinize.

All of this, plus my personal observations, leads me to believe that my new hairline is undetectable.

I feel the same about the posts & blogs I've seen here.

Cheers to all.

I just found out last week, from my trainer, that my dentist (who is also a client) has had three transplants down in Atlanta! I never would've guessed, and I'd consider myself in the top 10% based on knowledge of transplants.

So, there you go.... BTW, I think he went to Griffin.
