thanks Gram - appreciate the kind words, my story's a bit complicated .. I had a small procedure in the early 90's when I was in my early 20's, had just started thinning, but I should have never had that procedure in the first place ... it was also a bit of a nightmare in terms of swelling in my face, etc. of course at that time the grafts were pluggy and placed solely in my hairline .. after loosing lots more hair, I simply tried to conceal the plugs by pulling my exisinting hair forward, using hairspray, etc. .. it was a nightmare.. I did this for decades until I researched and did my homework. I did not want FUT so I found Dr. Rahal doing FUE in Canada. He only did about 2k grafts to the frontal zone and I think its a night & day appearance for me, at least I can wear my hair more naturally, etc.
