  1. Thanks all! Do Docs only aim for 50% density because they are conserving grafts for future transplants? Or will they try to pack in the number of hairs to give me near 100% density, but then only half of those will actually grow due to blood flow issues or something?
  2. I don't get what people mean about “the appearance of density.” I wear my hair back so there are either hairs growing there or not. Can I possibly get 75% or more of the density I have on the rest of my head? I don't want to end up looking like I have some thinning but my hairline is “not that bad.” Is it unrealistic to aim for a thick hairline that is a least almost as dense as the rest of my head (which is pretty thick)?
  3. what about my question - do HT's destroy the underlying dormant cells?
  4. Are those underlying dormant follicles theoretically destroyed in a HT (when they plant the new ones, what happens to the old ones?)?
  5. Thank you very much. Why is is just 50-60% of original density? Is it just because they cannot pack the follicles any tighter? I was planning maybe 1200 grafts. If Dr. Feller or another Doctor or expert comes across this post, I would love to hear your thoughts on my questions 2-6 too. I appreciate it!
  6. Hi all, I am 34 years old and am probably just a "2" on the hairloss scale, with some recession in the front. It bothers me quite a bit and I am thinking of finally making an appointment with Dr. Feller. I am nervous about a HT since I wonder if I am being unrealistic in hoping for very thick results. I wear my hair up and I do not think I will be happy if it ends up "see through." My hair is dark and on the thick side and used to look great. I am hoping for you insights on a couple questions: 1. Do you think Dr. Feller is the best for a smaller first time procedure (maybe around 1250 grafts). I see a lot of his great results are repairs and I do not see as many blogs from first timers? Is he the best for thick results? Is there someone else I should check with too? 2. Can a hairdresser/semi trained eye tell? Could former HT patients tell? 3. How thick is it? Is it near as thick as before I started balding? 4. Theoretically, if some new stem cell procedure comes out in 5 years that can reawaken the dormant follicles, does this procedure destroy those cells? Or would they grow back up among the transplants for a very thick hairline. 5. Do the hairs existing in the transplant area get destroyed? Is the shockloss permanent? 6. About what % of the hairs transplanted are growing after 1 year? Thanks all. I am just nervous about regretting it. I am at the point where I can get away with combing to cover it (although I am really unhappy about this) and do not want to go through all this only to have a few scraggly hairs and risk losing more of my existing hairline hairs in the process.
