Parsley did HT's two and three. Great work, too. A lot of mileage from a small number of grafts. I just want to go with somebody who has a reputation for getting MORE grafts, really. Parsley is kind of a smaller session guy.

The 3 - 6 month time was the worst for me. But, I still noticed thickening up to 14 months or so. I felt like things really started to happen around month 7 or 8.

Mine was a little different, as Cooley completely took out a couple rows in the my front of the old transplant and most of the unnatural ones in my crown. So, for a few months I did look more thin than before, but it really looks natural now.

Hi Triffid,

I was about the same size scar. I had an open wound for months and the original ht doctor could not touch it till it healed as working with a wound leads to larger opening. Please remember that surgeons were only doing say 3 mils at a time on my last 3. Never try the whole scar because it may get even wider. The t - closure did not work

Hi,
It is normal that hair may be lost as a shock result on HT's procedure, but normally after 7-9 months it grows again, so you have to wait some time and see...
For the scar: The wider the scar is the worse the closure would be and the bigger the scar will be, we usually recommend max 1.4cm width in donor area and we can get up to 27 cm length strip, which gives us about 2500-3000 grafts, and this amount it enough to cover big area of bald. When we do the HT, scar area almost invisible. Hope this answer may satisfy you
Cordially
