Default what can I expect

hallo
now can i not help but go and look myselves in the mirror constantly and continuously while i can not imagine how it will look like in the end .. while I'm in this ugly duckling stage, you might give me a little feddback ? - you get my links to my home page :

http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com...asp?WebID=1666


when you've looked through them a little, I have just some questions

1 - how much density do you think it will be with 1600 graft in the area

2 - now my hair is very dark (almost black) and fairly thick - will it really create a new hairline? So I could have bristly hair without it would look very thin?

3 - how short can I get it (when it is outgrown it all) until it looks thin - both in the crown and the recipient area ..

4 - could i have hair like Bear Grylls or is that to short?? :

would like to cut me with machine

I can not imagine how it will be, and dreamed the other day that I hat a normal hairline again got a little downer on when I woke up and looked me in the mirror hehe - but it will be interesting to see how it will be at the end

I think that amount of grafts CAN create a nice balance in your front. Who was your surgeon?

Thick, black, coarse, wavy hair creates the best appearance of "fullness". Many guys can try a 3' guard but few can use a 2' guard, so experiment with your hair cuts and see how deep you can go. I do think you can go for that hair style in the link you've posted.

An HT can only be successful in the hands of a good surgeon - to be honest, your choice worries me. As you probably know already, a hair transplant is not a standard procedure that every Doc graduating from med school can perform, it takes a lot of skill and experience. An HT at the hands of an incompetent Doc can leave you with incorrectly-placed grafts, depletion of donor hair, a big donor scar and grafts not coming in to grow hair. I hope you made your decision only after plenty of research.

Good luck.

For a causasian, blonde provides better appearance of fullness, as the hair to skin contrast is insignificant.

Yes I forgot to add that as well; a better appearance of fullness is achieved when the hair color and scalp color match closely.

Hero,

Everything's looking perfectly normal for only 2 months. I encourage you to try and relax and not to worry. It takes a solid year to see the full results of a hair transplant. In the meantime, enjoy the ride

Best wishes,

Bill Seemiller

Hero,

Like Bill said, you are right on track at 2 months. I know how excruciating the wait can be. I'm almost 2 month into HT #2.

I also think the Bear Grylls style is very, very possible!

All the best!
