Hi All
I'm 3 days off 12 Months, some of you might have followed my thread.

As a Clint Eastwood fan I've divided my 12m blog into 3 sections:

The good

The bad
http://www.hairtransplantnetwo...opyID=4059&WebID=920

And the Ugly

All these pics were taken this week

Considering "The good"
Certain pictures you can take- and I stress it is about certain pictures, can make it look really good indeed. No argument there.

"The bad"
Look a little closer and your getting into the world of cover ups again, your noticing a hell of a lot of hairs on your basin

"The Ugly"
Stip away all nice lighting, brush it back in force and see where you really are.
I've lost a lot of grafts, I don't know why, but it seems to coincide with extreme itching

I'd be interested in knowing why or what I may have been doing wrong. If you look at the last pic. The left does not have the graft density, that was originally planted.

I won't be going to Dr Rahal to complain, cos two months ago I had the result I wanted, I don't know why it's slipping now, but I won't blame my surgeon. He can put them in, but he can't control if they stay or not.

I can also live with my result very happily, assuming it does not get worse.
What I'd like to know is how did I get here as I was at the point of a perfect result-That I will be asking him.

Looks like the second HT is something I have to assume is unavoidable.

Keep the faith
Pred

i'd like also to reiterate here that Dr Rahal is a top doc and there is no way to get a total result if you have 5000 hairs planted into and area where you lost 20000. I came pretty close though, and I only wondering why it is getting worse and not better.

well u know better since u can see it in the mirror but what i see from the pics is a result that i like. and i whould be happy with. maybe u need 500 in the right temple and thats it.

I think it looks great. I'd be stoked. Even the bad and the ugly pics look solid to me.

Are you going through a seasonal shed, perhaps?

I'd kill to have your "ugly"...

Did you stopped Rogaine?

I don't know what we are supposed to be seeing on the "ugly" pics. I think the *slightly* see through hairline makes it look very natural. I'd be careful because I've seen a few pics where it's a dense rigid hairline and it looks artificial and odd.

Of the three sets of pics, I would prefer your "ugly" pics over the other two for a natural look IMO. It looks damned near perfect to me.

Pred,

All honesty, I would be jumping on a trampoline with your result. I think your hair looks more than good and I like the "James Dean impression" also.

My opinion..

Sorry you arent going to get alot of sympathy here! You have a shit load of hair. Unless the camera lies it appears to be a perfect result and like Severn said any more in the hairline and it'll look fake.
