[QUOTE=jgreyorl "Sorry OP, I swear I am not trying to hijack this thread. Sean, yes they are very recent. I have some more recent ones with my hair grown out and those are the ones that Chad/Dr. Rahal used to give me the worst case scenario balding pattern. Everyone tells me it's not bad and my girlfriend and friends all tell me that don't think I am balding, but I have definitely had some significant recession since my early 20s (I will post some photos from then as well to compare)."

It's all good. Well it's good to be informed of worst case scenario. I guess if he suggests it then plan the transplant according to that. Can't wait to see your photos from early 20s to compare it. Right now though, you might not need many grafts depending on the type of hairline you choose. The photos you posted, your hair looks better then most at the level of norwood you mentioned.

Wow! 3000 grafts in one day? That's pretty amazing, I thought Dr.Rahal never went past 2500 in a single day!

Congrats man, it looks absolutely great!

Thanks, I appreciate it. Yea, turns out they were easy to extract on me for the most part. We were going at a really good pace. I also had decent density. A lot of factors played in that part. But I am glad I did it all in one day rather then the two day period. It worked out in my favor as I don't think I could have lasted another day honestly. I had to sacrifice sitting in the chair from like 7:20am to 7:30pm and it got me what I needed. I'll keep updating my results every 3 months for you guys to check out.
