I've decided to post some pictures of my first day of transplant with Dr. Keene. I know from personal experience if it were not this website I probably would never gone through such a procedure. I hope that by sharing my photos I can return the favor to others contemplating HT surgery.

My first day with Doctor keene exceed all my expectations. I personaly felt almost zero discomfort and believe her finished result show exceptionally minmal trauma. I'd like for you veterans to take a look and tell me if you agree. I had approxiamately 1600 grafts placed to the hairline and temporal region

hairdini,

Unless I can't spell either OR you fixed your typose, I really don't see a lot of them...only a few

I'm glad to hear you had a good experience with Dr. Keene. From what i've seen around the forums, she does quality work. Though the work doesn't look too densely packed, I think that it will blend nicely with your native hair. Looking at your before pictures, it's obvious that your temples and hair behind your hairline isn't that thick to begin with...so I think densely packing the area any tighter than she did would have been a mistake. It does go to show that though dense packing is appropriate many times, it's not always appropriate. I look forward to seeing how this resul turns out...so I hope you'll keep us updated with your progress .

Bill

I'm now on day four and feel very fortunate I've had not had a single problem. It almost seems to me like the hair has already started to grow quite a bit in the first four days. Maybe it just my imagination. I also found that one darvocet and one lunesta before bed will make you sleep like a baby. I've never been able to sleep on my back and thought this would have been my greatest challenge. I'll keep the photos coming!!

I like that Dr. Keene went with a lower density. Transplanting into areas of diffuse thining can accelerate hair loss. By choosing a lower density, it allows you to hold onto the hair you have a little longer. The addition of Propecia can help stabilize your loss as well. If you need more density later, you can always go for a second pass.

Looks like nice work so far.

I want to add more progress photos but keep getting this message when I try:

If anyone knows what this means please let me know so I can post more progress photos. Thanks!

hairdini,

Two things I can think of:

1. You are trying to modify somebody else's post (which doesn't seem logical). Just double check

2. Pat moved your thread or was the last to modify it. It seems that if that happens, permissions are removed from the user to be able to edit that post. This is speculation, but this happened to me recently too. I just posted a reply to my own thread.

Try PMing Pat or start a new thread
