Perhaps I should have said that I had VERY diffuse thinning

Bill, I'm gonna go back to Dr. Feller in a few months, after which I'll post his before and after photos. For the time being here's one of my own before photos:

I'm a lurker here but just wanted to post a quick note to say how great my HT from Dr. Feller is coming along. I'm at the 9 month mark, already looks great, looking forward to some further thickening in the coming months (after which I'll post before & after photos). I can't say enough good things about Dr. Feller and his staff. Basic info: - 40 years old - diffuse thinner - 3000 grafts densely packed in frontal portion - nice to know there's the option for total awesomeness if I do decide at some point to have a second procedure for the crown Kojak

Thanks for the responses guys. I was just curious about the situations where some unlucky people here have reported poor yields after 12+ months with good doctors. I would of course prefer fast growth, but if I could somehow be promised that I would have good yields but I would be a slower grower, I would "take it". So I was just wondering if the poor-yield results might have been "hinted at" early on - in other words, maybe the grafts didn't "take" as well early on and it was apparent visibly or in some other way. I figured if there were in fact such early "warning signs", I would want to know what they were, and I would find the absence (hopefully) of these signs comforting. Thanks again for the feedback and well wishes. Kojak

I was wondering: for unfortunate low-yielders, was there anything apparent at, say, the 2 week mark (before the grafted hair started falling out) that might have suggested disappointing results? Or to put it another way, if the post-op results seem good (quick healing, grafts and scalp look great, grafted hair is still almost all there after 2 weeks), does this mean anything about the likelihood of a good result? Or is subsequent re-growth of the grafts completely separate from how "solid" the initial results are? Thanks in advance from a newbie (you can probably guess where I am in the process (Who loves ya baby!)
