It all boils down to personal choice but once you have had a taste you generally want more

great post. Here is my situation. I love my results now I basically look like I have a full head of hair, however one more pass would make it look incredible. the question, should i have another HT, or if I did could the ht possibly shock my native hair and not really make any progress? Shockloss was not an issue at my first session, would it be for my second? This is something I have not seen commented about. I agree totally about the hair greed- I have it, lol. but I am concerned about shockloss. If I could have another session of 2500 and not go backwards I would do it, what do you think?

Personal choice Troy.................If I were you, why risk it?? It looks great now, right? Since you only had 2500 grafts first time you should have mega-grafts in reserve for later.

Purely personal choice, my friend. In your case, if you're on Propecia and go to a quality surgeon, hopefully you needn't worry too much about shock loss..........just IMO.

Hair Greed.................ahhhhh, will we ever really have enough follicles on our heads for it really to go away??
