looks real natural and good tempenet! i could see where you would want added density, but all in all im sure you have made great progress.. do you have any pre op pics to mark progress?

thanks fellas,

i'll wait 3 more months to see where i am at. i appreciate the insights !

Hey fellas,

about 9 months ago I had my first HTP with Dr. Ross in La Jolla of 2500 grafts in my temple areas to fill in recession.

9 months later and I am still seeing a pluggy, thin hairline thats not as natural as I wanted to be. I am wondering if I should be considering a 2nd HT for refinement, density, and naturalness

dont get me wrong, i am happy with the results as I have come a long way, but I would like to see a more natural hairline ...

I know I have more months to grow but at this rate its not looking like ill see the results that i intended

i attatched some pictures so you guyscould analyze for yourself

I was also wondering how common it was for a doctor to give a discounted/even free refinement for his patient if they aren't completely satisfied??

let me know your thoughts,

Thanks,

Cameron

thanks guys... i have pre op pics on my profile check it out .. ive definitely taken a giant step forward but am just a bit concerned with density. i appreciate the feedback

So i posted a thread earlier this week with pictures but I didn't quite have enough light to do the real result justice that I see in the mirror.. Although I am happy with the results (from where I was), I am a bit concerned about the density and naturalness of the hairline.

I recieved 2500 grafts in both temporal regions .. In light, when I tilt my head the transplant is really obvious and the plugs are pretty spacious, which is what I was not hoping for.

I know I have many months to go, but how much density can I expect from here on out? I don't want to have to cover up my hairline every time I go out in order to avoid being detected. Should I consider another operation? Im hoping not, but who knows.

I went in for my half way visit the other week and was displeased as they had me meet up with the organizer/planner rather than Dr. Ross himself. Of course, she said it looked amazing ( why wouldn't she tell that to customers). I know I've made huge steps, but maybe I had unrealistic expectations of a full, natural hairline?

Here's to the upcoming months and a lot of new growth, and OPTIMISM rather than PESSIMISM!

(once again, the photos still dont do justice.. the camera cant pick up what a human eye does. the resolution on my mac isnt that great)

thanks guys! my crown progress is just from rogaine and propecia. ive been using both about for about 9 months now and they have surely worked wonders.. i also just started nazoral a few months ago. at times i feel like the hairline is a bit thin/ and im naturally self conscious about its authenticity.. but nonetheless, i am extremely happy with the results thus far and have my fingers crossed for the coming months!

happy growing and cheers!

So i was going to post pictures of my hairline (approaching 8 months post op come the 14th) asking if I should be worried about density so far. Well, intending to take some pictures on photo-booth, I ran into some pre-op photos I took and forgot about.. I can now say I am pretty happy with the results after looking at where I was.. seems like Propecia and Rogaine have done me quite well too..

How much density on my hairline can I expect in the coming months? And what do you guys think? Be honest!

Thanks

note: pics 18, 19, and 6 are pre op..

the rest are now

thanks guys! i appreciate it

So i am six months post op with Dr. Ross (La Jolla), and am beginning to get a bit concerned. I received 2500 grafts in the hairline region. Although there has been an immense improvement, the hairline itself is a bit spacy and pluggy. The hair itself is kinky, dry, and wire like. Its not as bad as it sounds, and I know its still very EARLY, but is there cause for concern here?

Can someone reassure me that I will see an improvement in texture and thickness within the next few months? I have darker hair too, and at this point id rather wear my hair down and cover up the hairline because i think it looks a little obvious

I've seen Dr. Umar (Los Angeles) body hair techniques in placing thinner hair for a more natural look to refine the hairline.. Was wondering if i should start considering..

Anyways, Ive remained optimistic and hopeful this entire 6 months and will keep with the glass is half full mentality

Happy Growing

Thanks guys! any input/advice helps
