Hey all thanks for the positive comments guys. I met with Dr. Paul today to talk about a possible second session. Goals are doing some minor temple work and to increase density overall. My hair looks very good laying flat but I'd like some more density to try different hair styles. I'm about 5'7, not a tall guy by any means so the overhead view is important to me. Plus being a younger guy I have a lot of friends who get a kick out of messing up my hair so there are times when I feel it's still too thin for me. Overall I think the Dr. and I came up with a pretty good game plan. I won't be getting a low broad hairline like most of my friends, but we do plan to put a small amount (~50 grafts) into the temples to square them up more. Dr. Paul stressed these hairs may end up looking odd someday when I recede more so I may end up needing to get them removed later on. He told me to think this over carefully and decide if this is something I really want to do. The rest of the plan involves starting 3-4cm behind the hairline and working backward to the front of the crown. Hopefully this will make my hairline look lower by reducing the see through effect I have now if my hair isn't laying flat. The good news is that my donor is better then I thought (100+ sq/cm) so density is very good but he also stressed that this may not be the case later in life as the donor area thins as we age. We talked for a good hour and made quite of bit of drawings on my scalp so I know exactly what he would be willing to do. He said this a bit more agressive then they usually go so again shockloss could be a concern. It does look like most of the shockloss did come back so that was good to hear but it's hard to tell for sure. I haven't set a date yet and will probably have to wait a few months to get my finances in order but I think this is something I want to go ahead with. Still planning to think this over some more before making any decisions. Will definetly post back if/when I set a date.
