I was undetectable ay 7-8 days post op. There are a number of factors involved in fast recovery. 1. Redness, some people have redness for 4-5 months, some have almost none. 2. If you have hair on top to hide a lot of the work and the doctors dont shave the recipient area that will help a ton.

I was very nervous before and wondered if I was doing the right thing, but I had all the facts and had met former patients and did all my home work and had the money the only reason i was afraid was the "unknown". Now that i have been through this I wont be scared at all if i go through it again. also I had a Ht not to"get laid", but I like the way I look bvetter with hair, thats all.

Hoping I am 32, but they say 30 is the new 20 !! Its funny I did look a few up to see if they were around, but couldnt find them. I guess its "in with the new and out with the old" for me.
-
is it the same length? I noticed that as well and wondered if it is maybe just length.
-
Maybe I should call a few of my ex's

Oh sorry I forgot to say congrats bob, its wonderfull to read success stories like yours!! bro66 there are a lot of late bloomers hang in there.
-
I would say think about it for a while untill you have clear resolve one way or the other.
-
I dont think its shallow, but reality. I have been meeting a fair amount of very attractive women latley and i think its not a result of my HT, but rather the confidence boost from the HT, but who knows maybe its the hair,
-
Great post Joe.
-
I was guessing you would go back to Shapiro, but just thought I would ask. You mentioned your HT softened. I have read a little bit about that on here, could you expand on that? Does the hair come in thicker, then later adapt to a softer finer hair? does that take away from density?
-
I followed my post op directions to a T and the scabbing came off quicky. I was told to softly with my fingers to rub the scabs and kinda massage them off. Call Matt and ask him about it too, but this worked for me.
-
Have you decided on which doc for number 2?
-
b, any new updates pics, comments?
-
unless you go through it you dont understand
-
your post op pics are amazing, You will be healed fast and back in action with little down time. congratulations to you.

Being back in the public eye fast was important to me. I was able to have my HT and back in action in 7-8 days totally undetectable. I have olive toned skin complextion and reddness was not a factor for me.
for some reddness will lingre for a few months, you can conseal it some, ( I think it was Gorphys post I read, you could use a little make up to cover it up) I agree with gorphy recommendations for docs, as well as many others. With your naked eye you could not tell I had a ht with a close inspection. It is unbelievable the advances they have made in this industry.

marino450 , I went through a late shed and do feel i took a step backward, Im not sure why. Im hoping my hair sycronized and will come back all togather. I am very curious what the next 4 months will bring.
-
I would guess I was 10-15cm2 in the temples and and on the bridge behind the hairline. Things we discussed in my consultation was shockloss, at that time they (Shapiro, Matt) could do 20-25cm2 without having much shockloss. And I didnt have to shave my head. I am only guessing on my density. After I go back and talk with Shapiro I will have a better insight on my density. Yes Dr Rose did use the Tri-closure technique on me. you can see a line when I look way down, I tried to show that in one of my pics , but its hard to get it backwards looking down in the mirror, lol. from looking at me from behind you cant see the scar when i cut my hair to a number 3. I havent tried to go shorter because I am tall( 6'2) so I think the scar would be visable for most who look up at me. After the one year mark and I have documented my progress, I will let my hair grow out a bit and the scar wont show at all.

dhuge67 , I was saying everyones results, only commenting on what I saw from my own expirience, sorry if I confused you. I am like you still learning about all of this. It really is quite a journey. i am also contemplating my next move and seeking wisdom from people on this forum, sorry if i came accross negitive towards you.
-
slick, I cut it to a number 7, normally I cut it to a number 8 on top Ive tried to keep my hair the same length for the sake of documenting my results. They thought my density would be somewhere around 35cm2-40cm2. Ill go in in the next couple months and see what they think. I am approaching this like a science project and trying to document my progress the most accurate I can. I have heard many say you can have big improvemnets between 8-12 months, I will take pics every month and we will see.
-
wesley949 , yes the downsides are longer scar and more potential of scar stretching. dhuge67 and hrthr, I had the same thing happen to me I had a major shed!! at 6 months not sure what the heck that was all about. I talked to Matt at shapiro and its possible that hair sycronises itself and has a shed, then all grows in togather in a normal cycle. I hope this is what took place. I felt the same as you dh, Im on propecia so not sure what to think, other than it sucked!! I just posted 8 month post op pics you can comepare my pics and see not much change from 4-8 month
-
I just posted 8 month post op pics. I cant tell much of a difference from about 5 months post op to now. I went through a late shedding, im not sure what that was about. At 8 months they say i could have 4 more months of improvement so we will see. I will keep a good journal and we will let the pictures tell the story.
-
you are well on your way. And your only just starting at 4 months. Your transformation will be a fun one to watch.
-
To really give you any honest thoughts I would need to see better pictures with a higher resolution. In those pics i cant see any hairloss, but pictures can be decieving.

Cooley has a great reputation for his work and staff on here. That is a good size session should make a nice improvement.
