Ben,
You are not even half way grown out yet. There is alot more on the way in ALL areas of the recipient site.
If you want to lower your hairline you certainly can, but wait until this session grows out first. You will probably be surprised how much lower your hairline actually will be once the hairs are given a chance to mature.
Grow well.
Dr. Feller

Hello all...just posted 5-plus and 6-month photos. More to come!

Hope all here are growing well, and/or taking solace in the wealth of good advice and experience narrations that this site offers! I have been "away" for a while; between a fair amount of familial travel back to NYC, and a new job, my internet time has dwindled!

Face-

Thanks for the update. Looks like you're coming along, but, in comparison, maybe a little more slowly than some. Judging by the number of grafts you received you should have mucho more thickening and some growth yet to come.

Hope you find time to keep posing now and again.......always enjoy having your input!

Hairbank -- thanks for the feedback! I tend to agree on the growth rate. Overall, it looks and feels and "behaves" differently, and from what I can see, comparing the just-after photos to the most recent ones, everything is growing; while it is definitely thin behind the temples (or whatever those parts of the head are called), it looks even.

Given that a) the temple points used about 500 grafts, combined, of the 4200 I had moved (if I had overheard Dr. Feller correctly during the procedure), that b) I had a large area to cover, and c) my hair is fairly fine-textured, AND d) that even at what is now past 7 months there is more growth to come, the thin-ness is par for the course. Now that it has grown to a more standard length, it's hard even for me to remember that it wasn't that way all along!

How are you growing these days?

Benjamin

I'm pretty pleased with my crown work, it's still a little thin, but pretty much covered. 'Course now the frontal work I had from HT #1 needs densed up to compliment the crown .

I need to post some updates and will do so soon. Really, I'm pretty pleased overall.

Keep growin', my friend!

Hairbank,

Yeah, could have answered my own question by actually clicking on your blog link, which was right in front of me...looking great! And 120% natural. Damn fine progress from your starting point!

There's definitiely an improvement, but this result looks very thin. What percentage do you think grew?

Curious,

I would say, all -- from the "before" shot, there was very litle there, and I have a large head and fine hair. Of the 4200 total, 500 were used for the temples...leaving 3700 for that large expanse of skull
