LOL This thread is cracking me up. Personally, I think we should all contribute some of our shill earnings to <span class="ev_code_RED">PurfectPoo</span> for the great laughs he has generated. I think I'm gonna become a frequent poster again if we get this kind of fun going on a regular basis.

ROTFL, RTC! A classic.

Nobuzz: Thanks!

S&P: Technically, I didn't have "crown" work, because the second surgery covered the middle top third (went up to the beginning of the crown). I think the HT2 (middle) growth was about as quick as the HT1 growth (front). Right now my sides and front third are about 2 inches, but the middle-top (HT2) is only about 1 inch, which leaves me with an imbalanced profile. As soon as it all fills in and evens out (I suppose another few months) it should look even better. In your situation, the crown itself is notoriously slow. And, of course, some people grow more slowly in general.

Jobi: Look at the top shot: I had no hair in the middle third of my scalp before HT2. Also, I think the new hairline is more refined. In HT1 Dr. Hasson used a jagged approach. Given the quality of my hair (dark, course), I asked Dr. Hasson to make it less jagged this time. I think it was the right choice.

Hairbank: Thanks, bud. It's really amazing, even to me. In going through all my old photos even I could hardly believe how far I've come. The industry has made humongous strides in the last few years. Despite the torture of wearing a hairpiece for so many years, I'm glad I waited.

Pat: Thanks! How do I attach a sound clip?

And here's a top-pic in sunlight! (And you can even see a shadow of me taking the picture! )

B-spot, there was a day, when you were young and innocent, in which I was king of the alleged-shills. You young whippersnappers don't know what a real battle is -- I lived through Shill-War I, and heroically survived the front lines!

I don't know any other HT forum boss who would allow the level of transparency and candor that Pat does. Consider how he has allowed this putz to parade his miniscule testicles in thread after thread while intelligently responding to him and decidedly refuting his every single point.

Well done, Pat!

Damn, what a sucker I am. All this time I'm posting and meeting with people while I coulda been a shill. Nice guys always finish last, damnit.

How about if I work for you? I could be a shill for a shill. I could post on how much knowledge you possess regarding selecting physicians. I could probably quit my day job with all the business we could generate.

LOL!

Looks like it's gonna be a real winner. Congrats!

Hi, everyone. I have updated my blog with my one-year pics from my second HT with Dr. Hasson. Check out the trip:

Each clinic will give their own advice as to how long you should wait before re-attaching a hairpiece, but I'd say 2 months to be safe.

This is probably the first piece of incorrect advice I've ever seen the legendary Bill give.

Transplanted grafts are securely set in around 3 days. Placing a hairpiece, hat or bandanna over them after that point will in no way damage them. The only potential problem would be using glue or tape over the grafts, which can 1) rip out the grafts and 2) clog the follicles and kill them. Therefore, it is safe to use a system with clips, and to secure the front with a narrow strip of tape, which would be placed just in front of the transplanted hairline.

I used a piece, and was wearing it 4 days after my surgery. Dr. Hasson had suggested I stay away from it for a week or two, but I needed to use it once on the fourth day, though only briefly. Having said that, I always tried to take it off as often as possible (in other words I'd only use it when I absolutely needed to, then used a baseball hat or just stayed home and wore nothing.

I still do feel some new growth underneath in various places.

Personally, I'd just as well you not post pics of your growth down below.

Bill, it all looks great so far. Of course, lets of thickening lies ahead. Yeah, a scar pic would be cool. At 10 weeks your scar was hardly noticeable. What a journey!

You will have to put a space between the "jg" & the "nn" at the end of the url, I could not get it to work right when adding it here.

Check these two photo's out.

<span class="ev_code_PINK">As soon as I walked out of the locker room there was a confident well built guy standing in middle of the machines and I instantly knew it was him. It was a very rare experience and I felt very comfortable approaching him because I knew he was a very down to earth guy. I walked up to him and said "Hi, my name is Hairfree." He was puzzled and when he took off his ipod and after I mentioned Hairfree a couple times a big smile came across his face and was just as happy as I was to meet each other.</span><STRIKE> He motioned his lovely wife to come over an meet me.</STRIKE>

Now, why did the friggen wife have to come in and muck up a perfect story? Can you imagine where this could have gone? Meaty biceps, manly chests, smooth, sexy hair, sweaty embraces in the sauna . . . The title of this topic could have been "<span class="ev_code_PINK">The bond we shared</span>."

Ok, ok, let's be serious. Great story, guys, and thanks for sharing it!

Am I going to need to rename this thread to HT's and Hotties???

Dr. Bauman, this is exciting to hear. I searched youtube to see if this episode is up (had is even been broadcast yet?) I did, however, find this episode you did on ABC, including discussion about the laser gadget:

I think chat might be fun. Imagine if we could get a doc to come in for a Q&A chat session! Well, why don't we try it out?

I PROPOSE WE ALL TRY AND MEET THIS <span class="ev_code_RED">SUNDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 9 PM EST, FOR OUR FIRST SCHEDULED HTN CHAT! SUBJECT: HAIR TRANSPLANTS AND PHOTOGRAPHY</span>

Pat, is it possible to email all members a chat announcement?

Slow grower or not, I'm beginning to see the contours of a nice hairline. Hang in there, buddy, it's gonna thicken up!

But Dr. Hasson personally has impressed me for years. SOOO....what it comes down to is finding a doctor that meets the "gold" standard but also one that you personally like the best based on talent and artistry.

What about a doc who meets the "celestial" standard?

Originally posted by Pat - Publisher of this Community:

Bill,

 

How can you be "celestial" without a Weblog? No time like now.

 

Pat

Agreed. I think Bill gets 1,000 demerits and is no longer celestial. I still have the original planetary picture (without Bill in it)!

Well, I'm compelled to add my two cents. After my HT I started working out big time. It has changed my life.

Personally I think your HT is one of the best I have ever seen period...the only thing holding me from ranking you in my top five transformations all time, is a lack of before pics....you are looking Hella Bushy these days brother congrats!

Bay, I just found some more before pics on my HD! Check out my pre-HT pics on my blog now and tell me if I'm a top-5.
