Women have hair loss too! And we suffer for it just like you men, maybe even more. Whereas hair loss is common in men, it's less common among women and we get stared at due to its relative rarity. These photos are a brief, though representative, sketch of my hair transplant journey.

Due to a combination of circumstances my hair had become, for me, the object of much anxiety. Heredity, coupled with the results of forehead/sinus surgery, left me with a very uncharacteristic (and personally embarrassing) hairline.

This album will hopefully give you the proof of the possibilities of hair transplant surgery, and perhaps the motivation to proceed with your own.

Kelly,

Welcome to the forums. hairloss certainly is at the very least just as much of an issue as it is for men. It seems more socially acceptable for men to lose their hair than for women, yet at the same time, we are all in this boat together.

Your results look tremendous. Any details about the surgery you are willing to share? how many grafts/hairs? When was the surgery? Who was your doctor?

Congratulations!

Bill

Why, thank you Bill (previously known as Bill), I appreciate your comments. This is my first, and will be my only, hair transplant experience. It turned out wonderfully, I'm very happy. I posted here to hopefully be of some service to someone else who is researching, like I did prior to my HT.

For the record, here's my 'stats':

Surgery: 1-29-06, single session, with Dr. Steven Gabel of the Northwest Surgical Hair Restoration clinic in Hillsboro, Oregon.

Total Grafts: 2008

Single Hair Follicles: 563
Two Hair Follicles: 1026
Three Hair Follicles: 295
Four Hair Follicles: 124

I also have a blog, accessible through a link attached to my forum name. More info there for anyone wishing to pursue more.

And btw, you're looking pretty awesome yourself. Now you're going to have to be spending all your money on hair brushes and mousse and getting it all styled nicely for your lady. Thanks again for your comments...

Kelly

Truly awesome results. I'm very glad for you. He has given you such a perfect hairline that helps frame your face nicely. Nice eyes too BTW. We get tired of looking at ugly bloaks. Thanks for the post.

Kelly,

Thanks for your reply. It seems Dr. Gabel has done a very nice job for you. Your hairline looks phenominal. I'm glad you are pleased. I will be taking a look at your blog in the next few days to learn more about your experience.

Do you have and/or are you willing to share any immediately post op pictures? I'm guessing that in order to get your hairline to look like that, Dr. Gabel had to do some good dense packing in the hairline. Since I have no prior knowledge of him...I'd wonder if Dr. Gabel has been looked at before for coalition membership. Maybe Pat can chime in here if he sees it.

Thanks for the compliments Kelly. I've come a long way after 3 HTs...but the fun part of this 3rd HT is yet to begin in fullness. All I can say is I'm looking forward to the summer time.

Congratulations again.

Bill

Happy Camper,

The work looks great, congratulations! I have not heard of Dr. Gabel, but it looks like you picked a winner!

I saw your weblog, that is nice that you are documenting your experience for others to share. Many women (and Men) who suffer from hairloss will find your story very inspirational. Also, could you post some form of ID, I find it hard to believe your posted age, you look about twenty years younger than that!

Welcome to the forum,

Thank you JOBI, yes it is nice to once again be able to have stress-free hair! :-) And, yes too, I'm verrrrry happy with it, as I hope you are with yours.

Take care.

Kelly
