Caesar08 is right - there are those, like him, that have needed a bit more time to see results. Don't lose heart: with an excellent surgeon and excellent hair/scalp quality, the best is yet to come.

After seeing Freeman's 7 month, then the difference at 9 months, made me realize how the change can be slow, then you have that month of dramatic growth after the 6 month mark for some.

yeah just hang in there ttp, dr alexander is one of the best, and remember that most ht's take over a year to mature.

The rogaine and fin are definitely helping, and I bet if you dyed your hair you would look even younger. With your hair characteristics, Im suprised dr. alexander didn't give you a bit lower hairline, but better safe than sorry.

keep us posted on your progress, knowing dr. alexander's reputation and seeing his results, you will be fine.

Thanks again for all the support and valuable feedback gentlemen! You've all managed to put my mind at ease.

Funny thing about dying my hair. I DID dye it only about two weeks ago with a supposedly permanent color. Clairol I think. I've got a fair amount of experience with this stuff since I used to dye and bleach my hair a lot in the old days. I got pretty good coverage and it looked good for a few days and then faded quickly. I guess once I got the haircut it pretty much got rid of what was left. I was surprised when I took my pics that it didn't even look like I'd dyed it at all. Got a suggestion from Atticus for Robert Craig hair color and I'll give that a try when I get a chance. On Monday I'm heading out on the first leg of a trip that'll take me to NY, London and Barcelona so I won't have a chance to do much about it till I get back.

I really would have liked my hairline to be a little lower. I'm not sure I'm going to be happy with it as it is but I'm happy to let it mature and evaluate it after that. I asked Dr. A about it during my initial consultation but he would not entertain any thoughts of lowering it beyond his initial suggestion. He said that this is where it needed to be and I decided to go with his instincts.

Thanks guys!

TakingThePlunge - I would agree with what others have stated. As you know, it is the final result that matters and you have plenty of time. As you pointed out, Dr. Alexander has a great track record. Keep us posted.
