looking very good hb.
what strikes me is even though we cant see the face,how much older the guy looks in the "post op" pics minus the hair on top.
just goes to prove how much bearing our hair has on our percieved age.
happy healing geezer.

Lol! Nice observation Balody! And very true. I think my change from age 38 at NW5 to now (and after HT 3 growth) makes me look much younger.

I can tell you what sealed the deal for me to move forward with my 2nd HT.............I was walking out of Walmart in the winter of 2005 and took a look at the skycam of me walking out of the store.............still a bald eagle in the crown since my first HT didn't touch it. I absolutely "hated" it and was in the chair for HT #2 within 2 months.

Now don't go picking on us old geezers too much - I can still outlift most younger guys in the gym ;-)

Looks really good HB 7.5k you are going to have some wonderful results if your first round with master wong was any indication of the future....love the work he did in the crown area.

Just wanted to post an update - I did add a frontal shot, top shot and crown shot that Joe forwarded to me (Thanks Joe!) As you can see, coverage was really pretty good on top, the crown is still a little thin but I'll remind you that I clipped down to 1/2", usually I wear it around 1 1/2" long in the crown and it covers pretty good.

This will be of interest to those of you who have concerns about shaving down for HT's. After having gone through this a little more than two years ago I admit I was aprehensive to shave down again, then show up at the office with a buzz cut. I was scab-free by day 6 or so, clipped the sides and back to match, even went back to work at 11 days and had no problems.

One caveat, I did cut the sides and back to 1/4" to match and the scar's still a little red so I used a little dermmatch and viola......no scar!

I'll probably just post monthly progress pics. So far, things are great. most of my feeling has come back everywhere. If anything, I'm healing quicker this time than with HT #2. I'm heading back to the gym day after tomorrow at day 15 and will start with light workouts graduating to heavier stuff at 1 month. I pulled the staples out on day 8, all 71 of them with very little pain whatsoever.

Peace -

Hairbank,

Glad to hear that you are getting used to sporting the new do!

I guess a little dermatch also goes a long way on the scar eh? That's great!

I look forward to following your journey yet again my friend.

Bill

Hairbank-

Looking good buddy. I thought that your before pictures looked good enough to forego the third, but I am sure that the results are going to get you to a level where you want to be.

I know exactly what you are talking about when walking into Walmart...I sit there and stare at the HD quality TV screen with the top of my moonscape and say "Is that really me??"

We still need to meet up at some point. My GF's sister is staying down at U of I C-U (my alma mater), so I should be down there at some point this summer if you would like or are able to meet up in that vicinity.
