Finally took a couple of pics of my hair from my HT with Scott Alexander on June 20th,2005. Hard to take pics of yourself but here are two. one above shot and one above/front. Any opinions would be great. Only been 5 months and I see it getting thicker each week. Going to try and grow my hair out some more as well. This is my third HT overall and basically all that hair up fron is HT. opinions and questions appreciated!

hey Tkerr22,

Wow, looks great if you ask me, but I don't have much to compare it to . Do you have any before pics so we can see the before/after? Where did the docs concentrate your grafts?

Ha, well....it's actually easy to take pics of yourself...you just have to do it a couple hundred times like me and you get real good at it . LOL.

You still look pretty red on top though, or is that the lighting. Is it still red from the surgery? Are you putting anything on it? It looks more red than mine and I'm 4 months.

I look forward to seeing your progress. Post some before pics if you got em.

Bill

think it might be a little bit red, but mostly lighting along with my redish brown hair. Doc put all up front to midscalp. Have a little bald spot towards the crown and it thins out back there too. Will probably go back to get one more session done in a year or so and get midscalp to the crown. Will try and find a before pic but probably won't be like these that concentrate on the hair. Might ask Dr. Alexander to send me one of the before pics he took.
Appreciate the honest opinion though Bill, and along with my redish brown hair my skin ingeneral gets kinda pink and red since I am Irish, but in person does not look nearly as red as that one pic, but not too bad for under bright lights in the bathroom eh?? will work on my self camera picture taking skills and see if i can improve, but thought I'd show you me since I have seen so much of you. Will try and update every couple of weeks or so.

any other opinions would be great! Fire away!

Looks good, but why did you require 3 HT's for the front only? How many grafts in total?

I just had my first HT 2 weeks ago and the doc said I could expect 50% growth by next May, so you should have more hair to come(?)

PB

well first one was about 2000 grafts, second one I went to some horrible doc who gave me a whole 500. so this was my third, but I consider it actually my second since the real second did basically nothing. It was for the front and midscalp too, all of that hair there is transplanted, no native left. I still have enought donor hair too for one more round which I might do in a year or so for the crown and from midscalp back to thicken that up

tkerr22,

I don't doubt that you will see some more thickening up in the next couple of months. As you have demonstrated in your photos, Dr. Alexander performs some great work.

Also, I don't think he would have a problem sending you some "before" shots if you shoot his office an email requesting them.

Happy growing!

-Robert

no real big news to share, I believe my hair is still thickening up front but it kinda makes the midscalp and crown look even thinner now since the front is so thick! (can never please a guy eh?) so called Dr. Alexander and will probably go back and see him in march for another consultation and for him to see what we can do from here. I would like to get my next procedure in July, it will have been just over a year, is that enough time in between HT's?This time it will be nice since it will be for the midscalp and crown I will still have all my hair up front. I was amazed by how quick my tightness in the back of head went away after my last HT, probably three or so days and it wasn't tight anymore, is that a good sign if you want to get another HT a year later?

tkerr22,

In order to get a better idea of your overall progress.......how many grafts did you have in the first 2 sessions? You had 2500 the 3rd time around, correct?

Your progress looks good.
