Hairbank,

Congratulations on your great success story. The difference is truly night and day. I'd like to echo bayscholar's comments in that nobody would ever guess you had a hair transplant. So often, it can look unnatural but yours looks very consistent throughout from front to back and side (temple) to side.

Have you noticed much growth over the past few months?

Nice Hairbank, very natural and dense hairline, it's so cool to see your pics all together in one place, I kept going from before your first HT to the 2/10/07, WOW!!! Your crown is still growing IMO and as Jotronic was saying it takes longer to fully mature in the crown area, since you are at one year now, you will see further growing in the next 6 months and more.
Like you I have also been getting more hairgrowth in the frontal hairline thanks to Finasteride.

Looks awesome. Great results and I think crown will thicken up some. This is another great post of your journey and we can all learn a lot from it. Appreciate it much.

I had to chime in to congratulate you. Your results are wonderful. I truly respect Dr. Wong and his work (his techs too).
You did a fantastic job of chronicling your HT journey. I think many will benefit from it.

Well, I think things are looking awesome!!!!!!

(whisper: He really is being hit hard by the hair greed bug, and even though he looks great, he wants to look like his idol Fabio............ Don't tell anyone though =)

Of course, he looks great now, to be sure, and although he knows it takes longer for for his transplant to fully mature in the crown region------ he still will be in for more!!!

Just Kidding Bank! You look great and I can't wait to see you when that mop of yours grows out all the way!!!!!!

Much Love Buddy!!!!

Hairbank,

My man...lookin mighty sharp there bro! It's funny when a good amount of time goes by...I looked at the first pic before your first HT, and I thought...I remember when this guy posted here for the very first time asking for advice...yes, apparently I was around even then! You've come a very long way man...hair is looking natural for sure, and you have some good density. There is some thinness, sure, but I would hardly call you a "balding" man at all. I'd be thrilled with those results!

Thanks for posting your updated pictures, and thank for all you do to help others on this forum...and thanks for being a friend!!!

Bill

All- thanks so much for the kind words and honest feedback. I really appreciate it. I hope the pics, and my journey, will especially help those in need of major crownwork(as I was). Overall I'm very pleased with how things turned out.

M&M- Haven't really noticed much this past couple of months but I'm sure it's happening. My crown started pretty quick, cooled off, then a second waive of growth came around month 7, I think?? I'm sure it will continue to thicken over time but I believe I've experienced the most cosmetic change that I will have by now.

B-spot - (whisper: how did he know who my idol was??......I knew he was too smart for his own good...sliderule, pinpoint mental acumen and all........but telepathy and ESP....does he know what I'm thinking now??) LOL! too funny, braddah! Hey....the magnatism of the HT chair is unsurpassed, my friend........I'll never say never!! Ahhhhh, density............can you ever really have enough?

Bill - Yes..............it's been some time but I remember my first "wet behind the ears" post...........man, I don't know much now but I REALLY didn't know anything then!! I remember thinking "gosh, if I can just get 2000 grafts I'll have a head of hair like Elvis!".............live and learn, huh? At the end of the day, I'll still be envying those 7550 grafts!

Nobuzz, Bay, Gorpy, HK, NN, Janna & GP............thanks for your encouragement and for what you each provide to this community.

Hairbank,

Just wanted to add another WOW!! Thanks for coming back with the pictures. The transformation is amazing. You are probably going to be your biggest critic, but the difference in the pics alone and I am sure in person is amazing. Looks really natural!

I and I know others appreciate you posting your journey!

Looking good,
eman
