Have you had an HT before? IMO if I had your hair I wouldn't be concerned about much. What are you wanting to accomplish?

Yes I have ... and that is both good and bad. The reality is that since it was from Bosley, it did provide good thickness, but the hairline is not 'realistic' enough, so that is what I hope to achieve.

Hi M&M,
From your last picture I can see what you mean about wanting a more natural hairline. I think any of the top doctors mentioned on this site could easily fix that hairline up and have it looking extremely natural.

Hi Gorpy! Thanks for the reply. It's amazing how much information I have gathered in the few short weeks since I found this site. Congratulations to Pat (for founding this site) and to everyone who contributes. Wow - what a difference it makes!! For the first time in quite some while I feel both sad and happy. Sad that I never found this information earlier but happy that I have at least found it now and intend to act on the good information and go to a good doctor.

Hi M&M, Did you have Micro and Mini grafts in your HT? If yes what is the size of the grafts? How many total number of grafts did you have? Could you please provide any pre op pictures?

I think a lot of us are in the same boat, had a bad HT experience and then started browsing the Internet for information. Biggest mistake in my life was to rush to the first HT outfit I found. Until last week I had a big scar to remind me of that mistake. Now thank God (and Dr Epstein!) it will be easier to "forget" it.

Hi Jagdish,
I (sadly) did - yes. They were Mini & Mico (hence M&M) grafts from Bosley. I had a few small surgeries over several years, with each about 100 to 400 in total. Virtually all were 1-2 hairs, with a few 3-4 further behind the hairline. I'd say about 80%+ were 1-2 hairs, though. I don't have any 'before' pictures per se, as I got the HT's to stay ahead of my balding. I only wish that the after looked as good as the before.

Hi Hairworthy. Who was your bad HT with? First step for me will be to reinforce my hairline, with the second step to minimize the donor scar.

I have my appointment now booked with Shapiro in May. I'm excited, yet nervous as I now realize how premature and uninformed I was with going with Bosley in the past. Oh how I wish I waited! But I'm excited at the prospect of 1000 - 2000 grafts that will thicken the hairline and allow me to style it any way I desire. The downside - recovery time. But I'm hoping my existing hair will cover up the transplants. I'll continue to provide photos pre & post the procedure.
