my lasest update. Still waiting for more to grow, I assume I am at about 60% growth now with much more thickening to still take place.

Hey Salt-N-Peppa,

Looks good so far. More will grow. 5 months isn't that far along. Do you have any pre-op pictures? As you can see below, I'm also a Dr. Hasson patient, but I just had my surgery with him last week...so I have a long way to go to catch up to you. This was actually my third procedure but only my first with Dr. Hasson! If you could post some before pictures and immediately post op pictures if you have em, that would be great!

Actually you can view my post from about 2 weeks ago titled " salt-n-peppa hair growth journey"...it shows pre-op,month 3 and 4.
I'll try to get all the photoos together in a blog as it is way more convienient than the method of posting I am currently doing.
Cheers.

I'll check it out! You could always just keep adding photos to your photo album by editing it. I always do that and then post a comment so it bumps up to the top stating that I made an update to check it out.

Salt-N-Peppa,

Do you have any immediately post op photos? If so, can you post them? That will give your viewers a good point of reference as to what you should expect. 4925 is a significant number of grafts. Did he fill in your crown area too or did he just focus on the top 2/3 of your scalp?

sorry but no immediately post-op photos----The plan Dr Hasson and I developed was to cover roughly the front 2/3 ( leaving essentially the circular bald spot that is about a 2.5 to 3 inch diameter). I wanted as large a first HT as he felt comfortable doing ( it ended up being 4925). It was indeed a long day for all involved. My plan is to have a much smaller second HT ( about 2000 if laxity allows) that will cover the crown and slightly lower the front hairline with wispy single hairs....... I , unfortunately, don't have really thick dense hair from which to donate. However, the good thing about our plan is I will be introducing transplanted hairs into "virgin" scalp areas so I'm hoping for a reduced shock loss effect. Cheers.

Salt-N-Peppa,

4925 grafts is a lot of grafts for the first 2/3 of the scalp...so I imagine based on that that you have a lot more growth coming your way. If you can get 2000 for your crown, you should be in pretty good shape after that! That's what I would imagine. Dr. Hasson is the man after all!

I agree that he is the man! The frustrating part is the waiting for new growth. It is imperceptable to me by looking in the mirror each day, but when I look at my "before" photo I can see huge progress. Good luck on your 3rd (wow!) HT. Cheers

Salt-N-Peppa,

Hang in there buddy. Waiting is no fun...and some people's growth takes off earlier than others. Have you emailed Dr. Hasson at all showing him your current result and asking what else you should expect? Do you feel any hair stubble when you feel around the top 2/3rd of your scalp? Again almost 5000 grafts...that's a lot of grafts in that area...so I would expect you should have a LOT more growth!

Thanks for the good luck....yep, 3rd surgery...total of 7550 grafts for me. That's a lot of GRAFTS!

Funny you should ask, I just had my hair cut today and the lady who has been my long time stylist was playing with my hair like a monkey. She said she could feel the fine hairs starting to emerge from underneath what has already grown :-))) You actually make a great suggestion about e-mailing Dr Hasson about my current and future growth potential, thanks. As I said in an earlier post, I'd like to get another 2000+/- FU's to bring me close to your total count. That should fill in my crown easily and have plenty to tweek my front hair line. Oh, a final thought, my hair stylist could not even find where my donor strip was taken from. I am truly astounded that the incision has disappeared!! Cheers
