Dr. Ron Shapiro placed 3008 grafts into the odd shaped crown area I had which was a result of 3 scalp reductions 14 years ago. I've included one personal top down photo along with the SMG photos. I had let my hair grow *really* long in preperation for the transplant, so the personal photo taken in July is a little better indication of the true amount of baldness and the area being worked on.

Ron had some extras so he placed 1's into my existing hairline to strengthen it up a bit.

Severn,

Thanks for posting photos of your recent hair transplant with Dr. Shapiro...and congratulations.

Now sit back, relax, and wait for your new hair to grow. Just remember not to do any more scalp exercises :-)

Bill

Thanks Bill. I appreciate your dedication to this site. I would never have considered it without the transparency you have provided here.

I do have a private question to ask though so check you PM's please sir.

I am excited for you Severn.....I think you are going to be one happy man come 12 months from now sir!

lol well, I had really planned on "one and done". I wasn't even thinking about hairlines. But much to my surprise my laxity was so greatly increased from the exercises, and my density was so high that I can pretty much do a full restoration if I desire. I just got lucky that my donor hair is so optimal.

Even though I won't achieve "true density", that is actually good. When I was young, my "true density" was so thick that barbers complained it was too thick to cut. It was like trying to comb a wet mop.

And as far as the waiting game, I'm probably unusual in that I don't mind it. I've been so used to living under a hat that I don't think about it much anymore. I'll just take off the hat in 12 months and see what's up there.

Severn,
Looks like you had some good work done, in the end it's got some similarities to my loss. Will be excited to see your results as they come. Here's looking forward to life without the hat!
