Furless,

I'm sorry that I contributed to this thread getting out of hand.

Anyway, this thread is yours and we shouldn't take that away from you.

I'd still like to know whether or not your hair count was before or after some DFUs were created - this will help clarify whether or not you naturally had such a small number of single hairs, or whether or not some of them were used to create larger FU grafts.

Either way, I look forward to seeing your results and I'm sure they will come out great!

Heal well.

Bill

To learn about how I restored my hair, view my my hair loss website.

Remember, true beauty radiates from within, not from the skin.

I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice. All opinions and views shared are my own.

It is insane to even think this. First of all your posting behaviour isn't remotely similar to that of a clinic employee. Second, if you did, which you don't, you would have disclosed it.

Now that you mention it ....
Hah.

FYI - In Dr. Seager's paper on micrograft size he said he generally observed 10% one-haired grafts, 50-60% two-haired grafts, and the remainder obviously three/four/possibly five-haired grafts in Caucasian patients.

"Refinement" has nothing to do with hair counts per graft, so I'm glad that was corrected.

Furless - semantics aside I would bet on you having an excellent result with excellent density.

No foul what-so-ever, Bill.
imo the discussion was quite relevant and educational. Like I said, we should all feel free to disagree with each other and occasional fire-works are a part of the game.

I have requested this clarification from the clinic. I will post an update as soon as I have the information.

At day 10, scabs are going away and so are a lot of the grafts. Of course this was expected, but it's sad to see them leave nonetheless. Can't wait for them to grow back with renewed vigor.

Thank you all for the comments and the best wishes.

Thanks trigger.
I will try and post pics of the scar later today.

I had a 2 day session - a strip was cut from the right side the first day (yielding ~2200 grafts) and from the left, the second day.
Both were tricho closures.

The yield from the first day went completely into the frontal 1+ inch and the temples. The second day yield covered rest of the area.

This reminds me, there was some discussion on how hard a 2-day session is on a patient. I will post my experience on that soon.

Happy New Year, guys.

I've uploaded my pics at just over 3 months.
(as is always the case, it looks better in person than it does in pics)

The 3 months after surgery actually flew by - I managed to stay away from the mirror - in fact there were many days where the fact that I'd had an HT wouldn't be on my mind.

Post 3 months now, with some action going on I am more anxious and awaiting growth.

I had considerable shockloss in the donor region on the left side. It's slowly starting to fill in now.

Can't expect much @ but 3 months, but it looks like you have healed nicely and the fun is just about to begin for ya!. I think your ultimate results are going to be damn good; your diffuse thinning should be nice "filler" for the transplanted hairs, and you received a truly robust number. I'm curious to see what your density is going to be like.

Good to hear about your shockloss starting to reverse itself. Next time you wish us Happy New Year your going to be a newly hair-ridden man...

Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician.

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Hey furless.

Just curious when you feel the worst of your shockloss occured.

I realize we all heal and react differently but I'm six weeks post -op (2872 graphs) and wondering if i'm over the hump with regards to shockloss.

Also your a lucky guy...I got 5152 hairs out of my 2872 graphs....you're killing me with that hair count !!!!! NO soup for you !!!! (sorry...Big Seinfeld fan here)

Happy New Year to all !!!

All the pictures I have seen on here from Dr. Keene have been very good. In addition it seems she always had the patients best interest in mind with her conservative approach..

I look forward to seeing this result as well.
