well, It really comes down to what you ultimately want.. Density vs. Coverage.
It's obvious we all want both, but most of the time it's not an option. For me, coverage outways density. I would raither have an even coverage and no bald spots, than having a dense coverage in the front and a bald crown. Just doesn't seem to way evenly. Just my opinion. But also remember your doc's recommendation, he or she has seen many experiances with this question.

Hair,
That's a good point...I am honestly not certain...I think what I want is a dense hairline and front half, but of course, I still want some coverage in the back....so I don't have this thick front and bald back...but, I don't know...it's a very good point to think about though. Thanks. More feedback is appreciated! Bill

9 month pic update. This is probably about as good as it gets? I don't know. It's definately much better than before surgery...but it definately shows me that I have more work to do. Off to prep for a second surgery...oh decisions! What does everyone think? Do you think that another 2000 grafts in the front will be good to fill in the front for the most part? What do you al think? Thanks

Bill,
I agree that it definitely looks better than pre-op. From your post, it sounds like you want to continue on the hairline with 2,000 more grafts? Is that correct? You have a good bit of acreage to consider at the crown. My concern is with your available donor hair. Are you ok with leaving the crown "as is" or maybe a light session after you do work up at the hairline? -Robert

Bill, hairline looks great!! I have to agree with Robert....
I think you should consider attacking the back. If you go a large enough session, you still may be able to get a little more density in the front too. Good Luck and Looks GREAT!

Hi everyone and thanks for the comments.
Robert, Yeah, I know what you mean...I am fine with leaving a thinner crown and having a fuller thicker hairline. Most people look at my face so I rather have a natural looking bald spot in the back with a nice thick hairline than have thin coverage everywhere. That being said, I have been so advised that I should have enough grafts to attack both the front and back, but we'll see. Bottom line? I'd be satisfied with a good thick and natural front half and a natural looking thin area in the back. I mean, I'd rather have it all...but if I had to choose, I rather attack the front. Hair, Thanks for your comments as well. Like I said....I much rather have a nice thick looking front half blending into a natural looking thinner crown than to have it thicker in the back and still thin in the front. However, docs have advised me that I should have enough to cover some of the back as well, so we'll attack the front, and then do the back on a third session....yikes! Don't want to jump the gun on the third...since I"m only just thinking about round 2. Terry, Yes, this was my first HT. I'm quite happy with the work for only 1600 grafts. My second session should be a little larger, so that will be good. Please, do post pics, I'd love to see them. Who was your doc by the way? Bill

Hair,
Indeed...yeah, I know everyone had different goals. The one thing I have determined is that it doesn't matter so much what your goals are, as long as you have them and know what your goals are to make you happy. For me...I'd love a full head of hair...lol....but if I can't, I'd rather have the front back then the crown. Thanks for your support...I appreciate it and need it! Terry, Sounds awesome! I forget...did you say you have any pics of your surgery? I'd love to see before and after pics! Good stuff!
