Many of you have asked for an update, so I decided to take some pictures and update my patient website with my 6.5 month progress. I also updated my website with 5.5 month pictures since I took them but never updated it.

5.5 Month Pictures

6.5 Month Pictures

Here is a before/after comparison from prior to having any surgery to 6.5 months after my 4th procedure. I apologize for the lighting difference in the photos as I know it's harder to compare. But do know that any remaining natural hair on top of my scalp that you see in the before photo has since been lost. Both photos were taken with flash.



Best wishes,

Bill

Wow! You are looking excellent, my friend! And with flash you're still really looking strong. At only 6.5 months, especially with the notoriously slow crown, your best days are clearly still ahead; I'm very excited for your future and happy for your present.

1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician.

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Bill, your hair looks great! def you will see improvement in the crown in coming months.

Bill, You "Hairy Beast" Now you are just showing off. Cant wait for the 8 and 10 month update. Looking fantasic! I am at eight months from Dr. Hasson. I guess I had better post now.

bill just want to know if you noticed that the growth time is slower with each ht.ihad my 2nd in march and it seems like growth was late to start or being it was transplanted it same location maybe harder to notice growth.your transformation is what we all hope to achieve.congrats

I reckon you had your hairline placed in just the right position. Fantastic result. One of the best transformations I've seen from such a high NW starting point.

One question: how do you know you lost all of the hair on top? It seems like it would be hard to tell if it happened since the transplant.

Looking good there, Bill. Would love to seem some hairline shots without flash next update.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

spin266,

It does appear that growth time has been delayed a bit with each subsequent hair transplant. This can certainly happen, especially proceeding into the 3rd and 4th hair transplant and beyond. Honestly, it's also harder to notice the growth given that my hair was much thicker in my third hair transplant than the first and second. Differences at this stage are subtle, but present nonetheless.

Matt,

I've been told by physicians who've evaluated my scalp under magnification that all my remaining natural hair on top is gone, minus maybe a couple of stragglers in the middle region. Frankly, I'd be surprised if any of those natural hair remained at this point anyway since the hairs were very weak even 5 years ago. Thankfully, finasteride appears to be helping me save the hair below the crown area in the back.

youngsuccess,

I have every intention of taking some photos outside without flash in the coming months. Of course, now that we're moving into the cold season, I may wait a little longer. But they're coming :-)

Best wishes,

Bill

Your hair looks really good. Awesome volume in the frontal 3rd and great coverage in the crown.

Wow, these pics look a lot better than the others I had seen. Some of the further away shots gave me the impression the hairline wasn't as natural as it could be. But the close up shots look almost perfect.

Why haven't H&W used you in one of their video presentations?
