Here is my 12 month FU. As you can see I decided to part my hair on the opposite side. It had been so long since I had hair I did not remember what side of my head I parted my hair on.
Jana did take some videos of my donor area, and I will try to figure out a way to post them, or have Jana do it for me.
I do plan to have a second surgery at the end of October. I would like more coverage on my crown and bring the temperal anlges down a bit if possible. Dr. Paul thinks he can get another 3,000 + because I have a good donor and good laxity.
It has been 8 months since my transplant and I am very pleased. At 62 my goal was to somewhat reverse the aging process, but keep a mature look. The hair looks very natural and considering my big head ( I wear a 7 6/8 hat) I got great coverage.

I have included some photos of before and after at 8 months and a few of the donor scar.

Graft Count

1 Hair FU 442
2 Hair FU 1180
3 Hair FU 914
4 Hair FU 376
4-6 Hair DFU 403
Total Grafts 3315
Total FU equiv. 3718
Total Hair 9063

(To get my total FU number Dr. Paul doubled the DFU number since there are 2 FU's in each DFU, or double follicular unit)

(To calculate the total hair number Dr Paul used the average of 5 hairs in each DFU)

Your a very young looking 62, even before the HT. You actually don't look over 50, probably younger if the beard was dark. HT looks good.

Thanks for the positive comments.
I have thought of dying my beard but I guess I am too lazy.
