These are my post op pictures. Sorry that I couldn't take much pictures to show the first few days, but they'd be pretty close to what they look like right now...I've had 2000 grafts placed in the frontal 1/3 area, lowering my receded hairline by about 1 cm.

Hi Scooping,
That looks good. Very clean work. Looks like all the scabs in the recipient area are gone. Expect those grafts to jump ship shortly. There must be a lot of grafts back mixed in with the hair also. It's hard to see because of your existing hair.

Uh Oh! You look like a high contrast kind of guy. Just kidding with you scooping. I don't know if you've been following our Soft vs. Hard hairline debate. It'll be interesting to see how yours turns out.

scooping,

Post op results look great.

Who was your doctor?

Are you on any medication to help keep your existing hair? Sorry if you already answered this question...I can't remember from thread to thread sometimes.

Bill

Scooping,
If I remember correctly you went to Dr, Keene.?

As Bill & Gorpy said the work looks clean & with 2000 grafts should yield some nice results!

Thanks for the comments guys...glad I finally got those pics up, took me over 10 days to do so.

Gorpy...Yes I'm not only a high contrast type of guy, my hair is also straight as a ruler, with nearly no curls whatsoever, so any thinning will be really apparent. On top of the flash that my camera gave, the pictures does appear a lot worst than to the naked eye under normal light conditions. No, I haven't been following the soft vs. hard hairline debate, but I'm guessing that Dr. Keene took the "soft" approach being that it's not completly flat across with some irregularities or jagged hair line. She spent about a good 15 minutes drawing up my hairline with the little ruler that she had. She told me that even though a perfectly symmetric hairline does look good, but not as natural looking. Yes, there were quite a bit of grafts underneath the existing hair and about 200 towards the mid of the frontal 1/3 area.

Bill...
Dr. Keene was my doctor and I have been on Propecia for over an year prior to the surgery and will be continuing the same dosage for a long time. As the picture shows, the thinning is starting to creep back towards the crown area, which I did not notice until recently, so hopefully Propecia will do its magic more back there.

folica...
good memory...As of right now I'm very optimistic about the results that Dr. Keene did. If all the grafted hair grows, and I do see much existing hair shock-loss...this transplant should be good to tie me over for the next 5-10 years hopefully. I'm 27 right now, a bit young for the surgery, but there was no one else in both sides of my family that had MPB...

Scooping

Clean the donor area well! I didn't in my second ( well i did but wasnt agressive enough) .. It can result in additional scarring..

Learn from my mistake as I had no clue .. Good thing they removed it with my third HT

For 2000 grafts, how long is your procedure? I plan to have ht with dr. Keene sometime in August, any last words of advice.
