Thanks man!

@jcs87not sure why it's not showing on your end; can you please let me know if you're still having this problem?

@UKLad81will respond in detail later on but huge sign of progress!

congrats @Yaz89 how does the donor area look when you grow it out? Did you tell your wife that you had some work done?

@Worried in Il if using any meds/suppliments run it by the clinic first so they can be aware and guide you. The doctor you've chosen has posted some really good results. You stressing yourself out won't do the healing/results any good. Maybe stay off this website for a few weeks and try your best to stay positive.

congrats @Barak and the clinic

safe to assume this picture was taken under harsh lighting? harsh lighting always makes hair look thin If your hair looked like this under regular lighting then it makes sense to take the plunge; 700 grafts doesn't seem much but your doctor has posted some great results in the past. Maybe the quality of your 700 is so good that it'll do the job #Spartan700

with your hair dry in the first picture it looks great; i wouldn't have thought you needed any work done; nothing you can do now but let time run it's course

You picked an excellent doctor. A natural look makes it less obvious any work was done. Once it grows in you'll be feeling a lot better.

2.5 months is way too early and unrealistic; give it time..right now your expectations are your worst enemy.. distract yourself for a few months (easier said than done)

@HairsHopingis only about 7 days out from his procedure. Give him the time to heal. Putting negative comments out there doesn't help him nor will it inspire him or others to post. What's done is done so be supportive of the patient. Everyone who has had a procedure typically has a roller coaster of emotions.. did I go to the right doctor..did I get enough grafts.. did I sleep the right way.. am I taking enough precautions.. the list is endless. Most patients won't find support from knowledgeable ppl in their real lives so they come here for support. So as members on this board, give him the support he needs now and the support he will need over the months to come.

you're only 7 months in; give it another few months. do you have any before pictures with hair at the same length to do a side by side comparison?

can you post some pics from other angles to get a better idea of the growth?

@RegsCongrats; how many grafts did you get? FUE/FUT?

Congrats on choosing Dr Cooley; how is the recovery process going? any pics you are willing to share?

will you go in at the 12 month mark to do the video review at Dr Cooley's?

Thanks man!

Steady progress man! Best wishes for the coming months

nearly a year now; how are things looking?

congrats! things are looking good man 2 posts about Dr Cooley within 24 hours; can we get a 3rd?

Yesterday marks exactly 52 weeks since I was in the chair. Time really has flown by. I don't obsess over my hair like I used to. I don't wake up at odd hours of the night trying to style my hair to cover the thinning areas. I'm not as nervous as I used to be standing in well lit rooms or even have pictures taken of me. Today I had to have a photo taken in front of some bright lights; to see a comparison of before I have attached a picture from Nov 2016 when I had to do a presentation. Once in a while there are thoughts of hair greed that have come across my mind but after seeing this pic from Nov 2016 and today's then those desires go away. I'm very happy with how things are looking. I don't take any meds so there is always that fear one day I may need more work but for the moment I'm going to continue enjoying these results and living life. **I'll try to post better resolution photos shortly; I just realized the resolution from zooming in and cropping these ones aren't the best but hopefully you can see the differences**

Sorry for the late response; haven't been on here that much. Shame on me for my poor math; you are correct; picture was taken on week 34 not 38. I am coming up to 12 months on July 17th. Haven't seen my scar yet so will take and upload pictures of that as well as how things have gone

Easiest way to search for flights is www.google.com/flights or https://matrix.itasoftware.com/ How far are you from washington dulles airport? you can fly direct on turkish airlines from IAD - ISTANBUL on Turkish Airlines Same applies for JFK (much more hectic) and Boston I believe

Hey Markee I can help you with flight info (a hobby of mine is flying and helping family book tickets) What city are you flying out of? You mentioned you owned a business; safe to assume you use a corporate credit card that has accumulated any points? DM me and I can give you a few quick options. Travelling on points = more cash in your hand for your procedure

Breathe; everything will be fine Where are you flying out of? Easiest way is through Turkish Airlines. DM me and we can talk; nothing to worry about
