I had some requests after my 6 month photo upload to focus on the hairline with the next set of pictures. I have included one "before" photo from 7 months ago. My HT was accomplished by Dr Hasson (4944 FU).
If there is enough laxity, and Dr Hasson believes there will be no safety issues, I will have my second HT in mid January. The second HT will be for the crown and a slight lowering of my hairline ( maybe 1/2 cm or so). Cheers

For some reason the picture looks somewhat better than real life. I've tried various lighting but nothing I've found yet looks quite exact. I am very happy with where I am at right now, but , of course I'm hoping for greater density and somewhat thicker hair shafts as time passes. I also still have quite curly hair to date. I'm told it straightens out over time.
When I play with gels, it seems to mat the hairs together creating more scalp visibilty, actually making the HT look tless dense ( but a more modern, stylish look).
I believe that part of the process for me is to get my eyes to adjust to view my hair as a total stranger would see me. I'm sure I will always be my worst critic. Cheers

S-N-P,

Hey, those look really, really good. Really, at 7 months, you should experience a decent bit of thickening many months to come. It looks great! How many grafts are you shooting for on HT #2??

I had the same dilemma after my first 2 HT's......I'd like more density. However, I've come to realize no matter how many grafts I get it would be difficult if not impossible to pull of the wet or gelled look.

The last part of your post is very true. We're our own worst critics!! Happy growing and best of luck for #2 in January.

Looks fabulous! Those guys really can work some magic, you look perfectly fine now, but I have a feeling the "bug" has hit you so I can understand looking for some hairline work. Since you will be doing crown might as well get the look you want up front. Best of luck and keep us up to date.

Thanks Gentlemen for the encouraging comments--
Hairbank, I think 2000 +/- 500. The vast majority of that total is for the crown. It really depends on my laxity and what Dr Hassons' opinion is. I, unfortunately, don't think I have the greatest amout of hair for harvesting---probably average at best.
Faceless Man--Thanks bro, Happy Holidays, be safe!!
Cousin it----I'll post 8 month photos that will capture my HT to date from multiple angles---then I will also post my post HT #2 initial results.....
Bill--Thanks, you are a maniac on this forum- and I appreciate the love. I am very pleased to date. Like you, I go to the gym every day. I try very hard to watch the diet, try to dress proper etc etc. but I had no control over my hair loss. It really did affect how I felt about myself. Now, I feel my total presentation to others matches more closely head to toe and it makes me feel so much better. Perhaps a bit narcistic, but it is a very visual society. Quite possibly, getting an excellent HT is one of the best decisions I have made in my life!! Stay tuned for the 8 month photos. Thanks again. Cheers, S-n-P

S-N-P,
Things look great and will only continue to get better. Glad to hear that you are happy with the results and it has had a positive influence on your confidence. Keep us posted.

This is for Cousin It----My hair line addition is to add about 1/2 cm of "soft" hairline to the front of what I currently have. I am quite pleased with where the hairline is now but i think visually, for a 48 year old, a few distracting hairs in front would be even better.!!! Cheers
