Good luck man!

congrats on joining the "Cool" club Because of the procedure being FUT I imagine the coverage/density will be good to keep your hair at a medium length? Are you on any preventative medication? Worst case right now is to stress yourself out; it's a journey so just take it one day at a time and focus on healing

if you're feeling a positive change then that's what matters; happy to hear things are going well. ref the 2nd pic: how does your hair look when it's dry? I received my package a few days ago and have just started using the xyon dutasteride; starting oral minoxidil next week

@Shaheer pls clarify; was your initial procedure done by a tech or was the repair done by a tech?

definitely some positive difference; what does your hair look like when it's dry?

well done

Attached pics of how my hair looks 6 years on; please keep in mind I was diagnosed with crohn's disease 2.5 years ago so for that time frame I've been on remicade infusions every 8 weeks My crown was untouched back in 2017 ; I'm not currently on any hairloss prevention medication and you can see in bad lighting I'm definitely going to be in a fight Shoutout to @UKLad81for suggesting I post more images even at the detriment of my confidence!

@CatInTheHat Hey man; haven't updated primarily because I've been focusing on my health though I will say over the last few weeks I've been tempted to reach out to Lollie and Dr Cooley to see if I would even qualify as a candidate for round 2. Not on any hair meds; I'm on some major medication for my Crohn's which I'm sure plays an affect with my hair. Until I got sick 30 months ago my hair was in great shape; I feel my hairline could use a lil boost as well as my crown. Over the past year I've been seeing a therapist for other issues and he was surprised when I mentioned my insecurity about my hair.. it's always in the eyes of the beholder I don't regret having my FUT done back in 2017; if anything I keep my hair short now so I have to limit how short the barber uses the clippers on my donor area to avoid seeing the scar. If I were to go for round 2 then I would be interested in covering that up so I can go shorter if need be

The 1st pic took me back.. very happy to have what I currently have.. @HairCenter is worth checking out for anyone considering work done

I'm about 18 days from marking 4 years since my procedure with Dr Cooley. I mentioned in a different post that the past few months I've had some health issues; I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease which has resulted me in taking medications via infusions every few weeks and also had surgery about 2 months ago. That along with steroids and antibiotics made me feel a bit insecure about my hair so I've cut it shorter than usual. Looking at other posters does result in hair envy; sometimes I think about adding density to my hairline; closing out my temples etc etc.. I'm happy with what I have and hair greed can lead me on a path which I don't need right now. My crown has thinned ( I am unable to take meds) so who knows, maybe I'll revisit it down the road when my health has improved. Speaking of cutting my hair short, I went to the barber yesterday and it looks like they went a bit shorter in the back than usual so it's been my first time viewing the scar; so for the next few weeks will be wearing a hat when I go outside; I don't think it's too noticeable but my wife saw it right away. Regarding these pictures, apologies for the quality; this is my bed hair and the guest bathroom mirror hasn't been cleaned but hopefully you can see how everything looks 4 years out

who was the doctor? in my eyes there are some areas that haven't been addressed; what was the pre-surgery plan?

extraordinary; your hair looks great when it's dry

the 3 month results look amazing

Digging the hairstyle and the hair color; great result

that length looks really good; what did your hair look like before your 1st procedure?
