Okay, here comes my first picture post for all you guys!
The before pictures were taken in August, 2002. The surgery (my first ever) was done by Dr. Shapiro on November 8th, 2002. The after pics were taken today (3/4/03), exactly 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days since the procedure.
Remember guys, this isn't even at the 4 month mark yet (well, 4 days to go)!
As you'll no doubt notice, despite the blossoming growth, I DID lose a bit of the original hair from shock loss (in the frontal/central area, where it was still relatively thicker). It's still early days yet, so I'm confident I'll re-grow most of those guys back shortly. I knew that might happen, so I've been feeding my scalp like you wouldn't believe since a month before the surgery.
The right side of my head is where I was thinning the most, particularly my right temple. This is the area that, of the two temples combined, received by far the most grafts. The left side was simply "peppered" with grafts so as to match the right side more, color wise. To look at my left temple, though, you might think that, at the point of it, they're coming-in a little thick. Well, from what I've seen thus far, when each area started sprouting, the hairs came in at that thickness as well, and then (already!) started to blend in. My left temple point is the latest area to start growing (my left hairline corner was the very first area to start growing and look how soft it is now - then came my right temple area, followed by my right corner hairline, which is blending in right now).
I know there's a lot more to come, but here's what I've got so far!
THIS IS FUN!!!!!
Tell me whatcha think!
