Hello everyone,

For all of you who have been asking, I have updated my photo album. But because I have so many high resolution photos in it, with the flash media, computers have a tendency to run slowly and/or lock up.

So I thought I'd post the links to some of the pictures on this thread.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my results, though you can tell there are still some thinner areas that I'd like to address with a 4 surgery in a couple years. All the pictures were taken with a flash due to the fact that natural lighting wasn't available to me when I took these. Keep in mind some areas will look thicker whereas other areas will look thinner.

Keep in mind that I would be a full NW6 (except for the area below my crown that I believe is being kept with Propecia) with absolutely no native hair on the top of my head.

My hair in the front is a little longer than mid scalp to the crown area as well. Growing my hair longer will help make the hair appear thicker due to the feathering effect. But I really like how I can style my hair a little better with it being a little shorter.

Pictures below:

11 month left side
11 month right side
11 month top/crown
11 month back
11 month full face
11 month top angled
11 month hairline

Bill,

looks good. If I remember correctly, your last ht was kind of sprinkled all over right? Are you going to take some additional photos without flash to give a better idea of the overall look? Are you happy with the results?

notgoing2gobald,

If you take a look at my albums below, you'll see how far I've come. Even the before pictures however, don't do justice to the result since I have lost all my native hair on top of my head since the before pictures.

I will take some pictures in natural lighting sometime in the next month and post them (like I did for my 8 month pictures).

I am very happy with my result - however I would like to add some density at some point in the thinning areas in the next few years. But I am liking how I look again and have much more hair than I used to. So I'm not in a big hurry to get another HT right away.

Thanks for asking,

Bill

just out of curiosity from someon who has never had a ht before: how do you know you have lost all of your native hairs? are the transplanted hairs of a completelly different texture?

And, of course you have had a huge transformation, that goes without saying. Im only asking about the "without flash" photos, as you pointed out to me recently how significant this can change the overall picture for better and for worse. Glad to see your new pictures and to hear your happy with your results.

Wow Bill, you have come a long way man. Cant believe the transformation.

Looking at you from the front i cant even tell you had lost any hair or you had a HT. Looks so awesome and natural, and your gonna have this for the rest of your life. Damm i am so jealous because you have a better hairline than me. (I am at a NW 2)But i have a denser back half

Anyways Bill, keep us posted with more good news. Congrats on HTs


OOh can i also add that man put your shirt on cause you make some of us look like sissies
Man i dont wanna sound gay, but man i wouldnt mind having a body like yours too.

Looks good buddy

You have come a long way!!

It's a shame your hair is so straight. Get a perm and your hair would look thicker.. I am lucky as my wavy hair covers a bit

You still have a couple months though!

Bill:
I think it looks awesome. It is nice to see NW5's and above get some revenge on nature and to see others with similar NW levels as they progress.
Thanks for the update.
