  1. Very funny but it just goes to show what a difference a HT can make for someone. And it can make an even bigger difference for guys with big foreheads or odd shaped heads. Jason statham and Vin Diesel almost look better shaved but i think guys like that are the exception rather than the rule.
  2. Looks far better and you're only 7 months in. I think styling is key. the hair combed straight forward or straight back isn't the best style for thinning hair as it exposes clear lines in the scalp. Combed a little to the side will give you that layered effect and i think it will aid you and give you that "illusion of density" which most of us with hair transplants depend upon. Hope that helps a little and best of luck.
  3. Some change buddy. Must've knocked 10 years off you. Really does look good! Delighted for you!
  4. Yes 6 months sounds excessive to me also especially for lighter weights and cardio. Why not just wear a beanie or baseball hat? It's what i do/did and it is pretty common in the gym.
  5. Looks like you're getting there. I think you'll see a big change in a month or so.
  6. I would agree with the guys and start the meds, see where that takes you. If after a year it bothers you that much and you really want to get the procedure done i would estimate 2000 grafts but again you really need to talk to couple of surgeons. I wish you well.
  7. Ya it's not in the instructions and i didn't use it myself until she suggested it, after i mentioned being red at the one month mark. Ya she was very good. Janice is her replacement for now and seems fine although i haven't had many dealings with her so far.
  8. Ya i started using Aloe at the one month mark, Kamila from the office actually recommended that i do that. It has helped a little. My skin is fair so i know that lengthens the recovery time also.
  9. Good stuff Mav. Glad to hear you are seeing activity. Im still very red at the 9 week mark but i had a lot of grafts in a small area so it was to be expected. Looking forward to see the change at the 4.5 month mark! Let the good times roll!
  10. Cheers mate. I appreciate it. Im about 2 months post op and have been using the pura d'or shampoo, it seems to be good from the reviews but i wanted to add another shampoo to the regime. I'll be getting some pics and stuff up soon. Not much action as of now. One last question and i won't bother you anymore in regards to the shea butter for styling do you just put that in dry, style and leave it?
  11. Thanks mate. I'm in the US do you buy those online? Is this the shea butter? http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod6390369
  12. Congratulations man!! It looks fantastic and still more time for improvement and only 2000 grafts! Amazing. Any particular shampoo you are using?
  13. Looks good Dutchie. Im around the same time line as yourself but i'm still very red and plenty of pimples.
  14. All is coming along well i guess concidering i'm in the ugly duckling phase. I'm still pretty red but it's slowly but surely easing up. i think another month and i'll be able to do things without having to wear a hat. I'll get a thread started soon with some photos etc.
  15. Congrats Mav!!! The fun should start now and i hope there's lots of it!
  16. Gents i just used a cotton ball with some aloe/witch hazel solution and gave the area a good rub and a bunch of the hairs came off. Thanks for the advice esrec!! Lets hope the follicle is in good shape underneath!
  17. I have a similar scenario in a particular area maybe 1/2 inch squared, i'm about 6 week post op. It was under the last heavy scabs to fall off also (about 4 weeks). Hoping that the scabbing held up the growth/shedding and the follicle will be fine but definitely concerned.
  18. Looks like the scabbed area is starting to grow. Maybe and hopefully it's just a little behind. I am 6 weeks and had a small area with heavy scabbing and i think it will grow but slower than the other areas. I also have been getting quite a few pimples but from what i hear this is normal. I wish you the best and thanks for the updates!
  19. In regards to hairlines it's hard to look anywhere else other than the "Hairline King". I am 5 weeks post op and i had FUT but the overall experience with the clinic so far has been top notch! I think you are in good hands with any of the 3 surgeons mentioned but based on my experience my vote would be for Rahal.
