Hi all:
Just hit the 14th month Post-OP mark. Looks like I have all the growing I am going to get from my first HT. Figured I would throw together some pictures and mpegs into a video showing the progression over that past year and half"???since I shed the rug. You need Windows media to view it... and it's about 50 Meg, so hopefully you have high speed internet.

Had some fun putting it together"???it's neat to look back at where we started from. The older crowd, like me, will remember the song. Of course I had to pick a song from a RI band...

Been through the range of emotions over the past year...the usual; It's not growing; it's too thin; when is it going to grow; did all the grafts grow; the days when it looked thick, thin, etc..etc...etc...

Overall ??“Completely satisfied, then some, with the results. Could use some grafts in the crown, left side is thinner than the right (biggest scars) and throughout the mid- scalp, and some in the hairline. Dr. True figures I have about 3500 + in reserves. Contemplating my next HT"???Doc wants me to wait and enjoy the new hair before making a decision"???it's been a few years...20 to be exact.



Thanks everyone for being so supportive. This site is awesome!

Glock,

If I could hug you I would. Not sure why, but the video made me a little emotional. I feel for the roller coaster that you have been thru in your life due to your hair. I know what it can do to a person. The avoided circumstances, the possible missed opportunities, the constant worry about what things look like, etc.....

It really must feel like a huge burden has been lifted from your shoulders. This is a remarkable transformation and you truly look great. I am amazed at how things have turned out for you and am honestly very excited for you. You look great and in no way do you need another HT, but I know how the greed monster might set in. I personally agree with Dr. True that you should just enjoy things for awhile. Its like buying a house, you should live in it for awhile before electing to remodel things. It'll give you a better idea of what exactly you might choose to do. Thanks for the posts as these will be very inspirational for many. You're a good man.

P.S. Great song!

Hey GLOCK08.

Results are great !!
Just curious...your results looked awesome at only 5/6 months.
Did and are you still taking any meds to help speed up growth ??(propecia,msm ect.)

I'm going in this week for my first HT and any tips that might help would be great.

Thanks,
More_hair

Glock08, You are a serious inspiration to me and I'm sure to many other people on this site. I've followed your prgress for a while since It appears that you and I have similar loss and very similar hair characteristics, plus being slow growers.

If I could have the coverage that you have I would feel that my life is totally complete. I think it will take one more session for me to get there. People who know you personaly must be completely shocked at the dramatic change !!!

Congratulations, you relly dont need another procedure, but more power to you if you go for it again !!!

Looking pretty dam good ...Enjoy

Looks great.
I'm actually having my procedure done 12/5 with Dr Dorin. I hope my results are like yours.

A NEW MAN!!!

Great story, glad it turned out to be a very happy ending!

I think it makes sense to wait some for your next round. Gives your laxity a chance to return and make sure all grafts have grown in.
If you have the donor and the cash, I would go for it. Next round will be much easier since you will know what to expect.

Looks fanstastic!

really a different looking person. I think this also shows Dr. True's ability to create a very natural result. He is a very good doctor and if I had to do all 3 of my again, i would in a second.

Hooray!
