  1. Here is my pic at exactly 3 months. I'm still pink on top. Constantly breaking out in pimples on top of my head. Itches like crazy sometimes. Does this thickness look normal for 3 months? I see a slight difference from the 2 month mark but not much. I really want thicker hair and I'm hoping it doesn't stay this way. I had 4,500 grafts in the recipient area.
  2. I had a regular linear cut HT done a few months ago by a top notch doctor. We did 4500 grafts but the Dr said I did not have anymore donor hair available for my crown. He estimated I'd need another 5,000 grafts for the crown. The hair on the back and side of my head is so thick you need a lawnmower to get through it. To me it looks like enough hair there but not enough elastic skin to cut out. So can I do an FUE and take individual hair folicles out of the thick sides/back of my head?
  3. I'm exactly 10 weeks post op. I had 4500 grafts in the front 50% of my head. I was totally bald. Here is my photo from today. I'm really not too thrilled with the results so far. No density at all. I have a lot of pimples with whiteheads on top of my head (like when I was a teenager). I wash my head with baby shampoo 2x a day but it itches a lot. Am I just jumping the gun here at 10 weeks? I really thought I'd see more results by now. Looking at the above photo can any experienced guys or doctors tell me if this is normal at 10 weeks? Do you think when this gets thick 4500 grafts will be thick enough to hide baldness? Thanks.
  4. Hi everyone. I just found this site. I am in my early 30s and I am at a 5a hair loss level on the scale. I started seeing my hairline receede in my late teens. By mid-20s my MPB hairloss in full swing. Hair loss is devastating especially at my age. I wear a ball cap whenever I leave the house. I do not go out and socialize much and have low to zero self esteem. Maily cuz this level of hair loss at my age is rare and all my friends have full thick heads of hair. Both my grandfathers who died in their early 80s had some thinning but no MPB and still had defined hairlines. My father is in his mid-60s and has a full head of hair with no MPB. My brother is 5 years younger than me and he looks like a 1960s John Lennon he has so much hair. This makes it even more devastating for me as I often ask "why me". Back in the late 90s I went to Bosley in NYC and had a transplant in the front. Results were ok but I'm not happy with them. Natural looking but no thickness at all. Plus I have these two long scars on my head where they took the donor hair! I did wear hair units from Hair Club for Men and my self esteem went up thru the roof. But they are cumbersome, not natural looking in front, and the maintanence is a pain. So I'm thinking of another HT but a lot of grafts. Would anyone recommend the surgeon in Ontario, Canada named Rahaul? His pics seem good.
