KJM,

 

Thanks for providing us with an update on your second procedure. I'm sorry if you mentioned this elsewhere, but since I couldn't find it, how many grafts did you receive during each procedure?

 

 

1st time round of the top of my head around 1100 grafts 2nd time around 2500

Thanks for your advice, So scars from previous surgery slow the rate down or just dont grow all together?

Thank you for this David, but i am away from tomorrow for 3 weeks, Was going to get in touch when i get back, which would be getting on for the 8 months, I know it take 12-18 months for the full cycle of your hair, Just looking through other 7/8 months and look alot further progessed than me, at this stage Thanks

Yes finastride and 5% Foam, the second Surgeon Was Farjo, Who i know is well respected!

The first one about 1100 2nd one around 2500

Thought it was time to give an update, from my previous post, i had my 1st HT @ The Hospital Group in 2010 well whats done is done! I then had 2nd 1 in Nov 2012 now 7 months on, (by a recommended surgeon) I thought i'd be seeing alot more progress by now, What do you guys think? Am on the meds and regaine foam 5% Tried to take all the photos in the same location with the same lighting flash on an off

Pre Op 2010:

3 Hours after 1st HT:

Nov 2012 Pre 2nd Op:

3 Hours After (much better this time!):

Now 7 months on from 2nd HT:

Right lets get off on the right foot, i am in no way promoting the hospital group and have nothing to do with them!!!!! just my personal experience

I am early 20's , yes this is my first post only because this is the first forum i came accross after re-researching and have no trouble in proving such that i had my HT at the Hospital Group back in January 2010 to the approprite people,

i have various pics throughout my HT process of my head and scar that i will post up a select few from before and now, now the scar personally i dont think is that bad i can be covered with grade 2 or 3, i have a fractured skull from a bad accident when i was about 8 so i know about living with scars and them scars are worse than my HT scar in my personal opinion, the latest pics i have are from the 30/8/10, i was expecting a bit more density on the top of the head but am going 4 a review within the next week!

all pictures have been taken on my fone with the flash on, ive tried to take them from the same angles and the same light!

1 day before pre-op

3 hours after, think 2517 hairs

i had my staples taken out after 18 days

and this was the result i was left with after about 8 months scar still a bit pink and no scar will be invisable and hair will never grow back were the scar is!! well unless you have furth surgery to rectify the problem

all in all i think its an improvement to wot it was before IN MY OPINION but further surgery will be required to achieve density!
