    I'm doing good man. How are you feeling? Is the excirement kicking in yet, how many weeks along are you? I'm going to set up a cosult with Dr. Dorin either this week or next. I have seen some maturity and need to make some decisions after I talk with him

    2542 was the most that Dr Dorin was able to safely get due to my donor area. If my donor yeilded more 2 and 3 graphs that would have been great but that is what I got so I have to deal with it. There are a lot of guys that are real lucky having great donor supply with many muitiple number graphs.... I'm not one of them. I thought the front of my hairline was going to be complete and another procedure was going to address the top and crown the area where he started the taper.

    Do you think some inflate (exaggerate) the # of graphs to increase the cost????? Hence the far from stellar results.

    I knew going into this I would need a 2nd procedure to really get good coverage. I just thought this was going to make more of a difference than it did. I did discuss how I wanted the graphs distributed and wanted to concentrate on the front and taper off toward the crown, as we did. I think that is a much more natural effect than just to stopping at a zone. I am not looking for thick hair on top because the back and sides are not. I just wanted a more even look and I thought that was how the front was going to be.

    Here are pictures with dry hair and nothing in it. I think it looks better with the gel.

    Corvettester how is the weather in the city? So far so good here in Staten Island, not as bad as expected. Irene is being a bitch.

    Here is a new post with a similar situation. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/162426-dr-humayun-mohmand-patient-type-va-2629-grafts-one-session.html I think he had much better results. This result is on par with my expectations.

    Corvettester, I agree with you. I was just thinking it was going to cover a little more. I've seen many photos of cases with my type of loss and # of graphs and seen some results I would be happy with so that disappoints me. If any other work is done, it, without a doubt will be Dr. Dorin.

    Thanks guys for the input. I do have to go for my follow up and see what Dr. Dorin thinks about the result. I just haven't yet because of my work schedule.

    I didn't think there would be a drastic change with a lot of density just a bit better than what I got. I knew going into this that I would probably need a 2nd procedure to get a really good result. I know the amount of graphs I got was low and I am by no means saying this was a failure or that Dr. Dorin didn't do a good job. He is an excellent Dr. and artist. I am wondering how my yield really was.... Unfortunately my donor area and my pockets are low and I don't see a 2nd procedure in my near future. I was hoping to get by a bit better with just one.

    I have a little gel which actually makes it look a little better. The graphs were placed favoring the hairline then tapering off as it makes its way to the crown. There is an improvement for sure but I don't think there will be any more improvement (I haven't see any in 2-3 months) and it fell short of my expectations. When I look at the pictures post-op there seems to be more graphs (scabs) than hairs I see growing now..... I think my 6 month photos look better than my 9 month. I use a little gell and take the pictures in the same place and lighting in all my photo albulms.

    I haven't posted in a couple of months hoping there would be some more improvement. I haven't seen any improvement since the 6 month mark and I think some areas seem thinner. My avatar is the day before my surgery. I know I had a low # of graphs but I had higher exceptions that seemed realistic. I can't capture it in a picture but you can see the scar with a #4 clip. I have my hair on top longer in these photos than any other month. It will be 9 months since my surgery in a week. You can look in my albums to see monthly progress minus months 7 & 8.

    I just got back from my doc and he didn't know about using Avodart for hair loss and wouldn't recommend using it. I guess I will stick to fin. I went off generic and started Proscar split up a month ago. I didn't see any results from the generic. When I started using years ago I used the brand propecia and saw good results.

    I have been taking fin for about 10 Yeats with a 2 year break when my wife and i were trying to have a baby. The time I stopped I saw a dramatic loss and never recovered when I started again 3 years ago. So I was wondering if the switch would help or at least be worth a try. The half life makes a hhuge difference with frequency keeping balanced levels in circulation.
  24. joeyz400
    Does anyone have experience using dutasteride. I know the half life is much longer so it would seem to be more effective.

    Good luck.
