    I know, I know...not really trying to get too concerned till about 6 months....just staying positive..

    I know it's early and the worst thing to do is stress myself out, but I am a tad bit concerned. In March '12, I had 1700 FUT put in my almost totally bald crown, and after 4 months, there was significant growth. It was pretty thin, so I wanted to thicken it up, so in May '13, I had another 1500 grafts put in. Well, the 4 month mark has come, and I don't think I see ANY growth. In fact, it may look a tad worse than it did before the second transplant. Is this normal? btw, there are pics in my profile page, nothing too recent though.

    People overthink this stuff too much. My post-op instructions say that you can return to activities, including lifting, 7 days after operation. I personally took it easy until my stitches were out, but picked right back up from there. Did this for 2 HT's.

    there's so much of this crap out there, it's all garbage. Dead follicles are DEAD. I remember wasting money on some foreign miracle herb treatment years ago.

    same here....3200 in the ol' crown over 2 surgeries. Seems "bald spots" seem to have a worse stigma than a receding hairline.

    wow,world of difference already...

    ^This. Every industry that makes money is "sick". There's good guys and bad guys. Everywhere. Don't throw all the good guys under the bus because of one bad experience.

    Oh I didn't see you lived in FL...yeah, def. check out Glenn Charles, I've had 2 procedures with him, and he does both FUE and FUT..

    You already have a scar..save your money and go FUT. You might not also be a candidate for FUE since you've already have had 2 FUT's, I'd talk to a doctor on that one. and slightly off topic...I think Bosley, even though they seemed to do a decent job, showed alack of ethics doing a HT on someone who wasnt 21 yet...

    Uh, if I were you, I wouldn't show my face/head when "modeling"...

    I'll be honest man, I think it's too early for a hair transplant, I'd wait it out a few more years to see where it could progress, save up money, maybe do the buzz cut and go from there. From the looks of it, you could possibly lose it all by 30, and when you go the transplant route, it'll bea one-and-done (maybe 2) and you'll be happy you "fixed" it all at once rather than chasing it for the next 10 years. And possibly, you might grow to dig the buzzed route, find yourself a beautiful wife, and not give a crap anymore. You have a decently shaped face with ears that don't stick out a mile, unlike me I say hold off and buy a cool car and nice sunglasses, you can pull that off..

    Nobody seems towant to posts pics to back up their stories, but in your area, I would get in touch with Glenn Charles in Boca Raton, he's one of the coalition surgeons on this site and I've had 2 transplants with him (I flew over 1000 miles, just drive the 2 hours, you already seen what settling for "close" does!). Steer clear of Bosley, I've heard nothing but horror stories about them.

    That looks fantastic..

    normal shedding, worst thing you can do is worry and stress. Buy a cab driver hat, some plastic rimmed glasses and be a hipster for the summer..nobody will know the difference..

    I'm 33, not on meds, I take herbs, eat right (for the most part) and excersise. My crown and very front went on me in a flash, but the rest is much slower, if it's going at all .I've also not touched and coke/soda stuff in over 9 years. I'd like to think that all this contributed to the stabilization..
  17. Gettinold
    Dunno, want to say the spot was about 3''x3'', however that translates...

    Fantastic, my heart goes out to her. She must be thrilled...

    So I had my first transplant March of 2012-about 1700 to the crown area. The growth was good, the coverage was a bit lacking, dang my thin hair..so I went back last week, wanted to thicken the crown and start on the hairline. We went with 1500 more grafts to the crown (Dr. Charles assured me that I had good donor hair and would have planty left over to continue the HT's if my hair loss continued to progress), and then start filling in the very front, 500 grafts..Will get more pics up soon, dealing with some shockloss in the back but not stressing over it. Just want my stitches out now, they are annoying as heck.. FIRST PHOTO-MARCH 2012,PRE-OP SECOND-MAY 2013 THIRD-IMMEDIATE POST-OP MAY 2013 FOURTH-IMMEDIATE POST-OP MAY 2013
