Bill, I can definitely relate! I sacrificed getting a new car as well and future payments for graduate school. I paid a lot of money for my one hair transplant and if everything pans out like I hope, it will be well worth the money. I haven't told too many people about my HT, but the one's who know are supportive and they knew how I felt about my hair loss. I also distanced myself from friends that know nothing about my HT...we have more of a "phone relationship" now. This was really tough at first but I figured it would only be for the first few months after my HT. I contemplated whether or not I truly wanted a hair transplant for about a year. My advice to anyone who is debating whether or not to go through the HT process is don't rush into it; take your time, do your research, know what you'll be sacrificing and once you made a decision, do more research.

Thanks guys...I'll call the clinic and find out.

hairshare, you might not know the answer to this question but I was wondering, of the 2,400 grafts that you received for the second operation, how many of those were used to restore the temple points? Dr. Hasson restored my temple points and I wish I would have asked him for a rough estimate on how many grafts were placed in my temple regions and how many grafts were inserted in my frontal 1/3. thanks

Looks awesome so far ScottishGuy...I can't wait to see your final result! Congrats
-
Ned you're going to have an excellent result! For only 5 months, your hair looks great! Any new updates?

No I'm not allergic to seafood but I actually started MSM this past Tuesday (only taking 1,000 mg once a day instead of 3,000 mg like before). So far, so good; I'll gradually increase the dosage over the next few weeks. Thanks

Comb...you must be thrilled with your results! You look like a totally different person; a younger one at that. I can't wait to see your 12 month results! Happy growing.
-
This is beyond impressive. Considering all of the factors involved, this ranks up there as one of the most amazing repair jobs I've ever seen. The new hairline looks very natural....A+ work!

I've read tons of articles regarding shock loss but I was wondering, on average when can a patient assume that they are "safe" from having any shock loss? In other words, up to how many months can one experience shock loss following a surgery? Thanks in advance...
-
I can't get over how much growth you've had in only 5.5 months! Excellent result thus far, you must be thrilled! Congratulations.
-
Wow! Looks awesome for only 3 months...I can't wait to see your 8-10 month result!
-
Well said...you bring up great points Emperor!

default609,
I say just shave your head, stop taking Propecia, and stop complaining about how Propecia doesn't work for YOU or how "you find it hard to believe that it works at all."

hairshare,
Your hair looks awesome! The transformation that you have gone through is simply amazing. The temple points are looking good and you can't even see the scars in the back. Please keep us posted with your results from the second operation...I hope my results are just as good as yours!

Bleach, I went through the same exact situation as you. I graduated from college (undergraduate) in 2007 and I told myself that I was going to work for about two years and save up for a HT. I start graduate school (physical therapy) this coming fall and I'm taking out loans to pay for the schooling. My thought process was this... with any profession you want to exude confidence and with my current state of hair loss there was NO WAY I would be able to do that. When I worked in the hospital for the past two years, I had to work with patients individually, or converse with patients / family members of that patient; and I always had to deal with drifting eyes towards my hairline, which not only affected my self confidence but my focus as well. I need to be focused at work, and not worry about what my hair looks like, or stress out about whether or not somebody can spot Toppik or Dermmatch in my hair. My hairloss has held me back SOOO many times in my life, personally and professionally. That's why I decided to get my hair transplant when I did. I figured that this would probably be the only time in my life that I would be able to go through this whole HT process. Hopefully it will all pan out in the long run. Good luck at school and with your decision making.

thanks HMO and Phil...yea i'll probably be doing my fair share of reminiscing when all of this hair sheds away. Thanks for the compliments....I just can't wait for the summer
-
I just updated my blog with 2 week post-op pics. The staples are finally out! Let me know what you guys think
-
Yea that definitely sounds like an ingrown hair to me too. I would contact the office tmrw morning or maybe PM Jotronic. Keep us posted, good luck!
-
Phil...did you contact H&W about your situation?
-
I agree with hair_me_out...I wouldn't lower the hairline at all. In fact, I left it up to my surgeon to decide where to place my hairline because I trusted him 100%. After 45 minutes, we both decided on a hairline that suited me. The most important factor to consider when constructing a hairline is to make it age appropriate. Who is performing your HT?
-
It might vary from doctor to doctor but I know Dr. Hasson used a .70 mm blade for single hair grafts (hairline region), and a .90 mm blade for the multi hair grafts for me. That said, these measurements more than likely will vary from patient to patient because everybody's hair shaft diameter differs.
-
I've used Toppik & Dermmatch in conjunction for over four years and I must say both are great! Some days were better than others but under ambient light it was pretty obvious in my opinion.
-
You've had excellent growth thus far...please keep us posted with your progress. Good luck!
-
Excellent result! Dr. Rahal is the king of hairline design IMO. A+ work
Problem with exercising after my HT

Hey guys, I'm 3 weeks post-op and I returned to the gym today and while I was warming up on the treadmill, my scalp became extremely itchy all over. It's not itchy any other time of the day, just when I begin to sweat. Has anybody else experienced this?
