Please provide feedback. This is nine months old and I don't think it looks thick enough.

you will need to post some pre-op pics. there's no way we can judge what type of growth you've had without them...

TTDS
I don't care if you were smooth bald. This is not cosmetically acceptable. Period. You either A.) We not given enough grafts or B.) Had an unsuccessful procedure. Who's fault is that? Bottomline: You paid a lot of money. You altered your entire lifestyle. And this is what you get? The goalposts need to stop being moved. Nine months is ample time to judge. Keep us informed on your battle. -KK |

TTDS,
It might be easier if you keep this topic in one thread. Your other thread with more responses is here: Nine Month Report Bill

I don't have any pre op pics. I wear a hair piece and the only photos I have of myself are with the hairpiece. The only photos of me before the surgery are ones my doctor took. To give you a reference I was slick bald in the front third of my head with a band of my own hair across the top of my head and then a bald crown. So to judge what kind of growth I've had simply picture the front of my head bald and then look at the photo I took today after nine months of growth and there you have it. To me it seems like the scalp shouldn't be clearly seen at this point and it shouldn't be a sparse and wispy as it is. Were others out there at about the same density at nine months? I understand that 12 months is the maturity date for a HT. I sure hope there is MAJOR growth in the next three months.

Have you tried the foam to possibly jumpstart the grafts
Post op pic would help but I cant believe Epstein would plant that low a number over such a large area. Did you have the front half worked or the entire top. The reason I ask is because if its the front half then thats not good growth . If its the entire top then that amount of grafts wouldnt make much of a difference with excellent growth I have read a few posts about guys getting big spurts at month 9-10. I would try the foam .It cant hurt |

I agree with everything you said. I've sent the same photos to the doctor and I'll wait to see what he says. I'm really discouraged. I posted several times in the past and I was told to just wait that results would be coming. However, I beleive at this point I should have seen a lot more than I have.

I followed Dr. Epstein's orders exactly. I did use Rogaine for about three months and then I was told to discontinue it. All 2520 grafts you see were placed just in the front third of my scalp. I had my own hair across the top and the crown wasn't touched.
