Thanks everyone. As of now I haven't been feeling any hair greed yet...just enjoying the results so far. I've always been pretty bland with my hairstyle and have mainly just kept it fairly short so far. I'm not sure how many I have in reserve, but Dr. Wong did mention I had good scalp laxity. I'll try to get some better pics up soon with top of the head shots and some hairline shots.

It's been awhile but here are a few more pics at just about 7 months now. I had a few more but they were apparantly too big to post. Things are going really well though, and my hair is just a bit longer in the new pics. I think I prefer the shorter haircut and actually makes it look a bit thicker so will probably go back to it. When I had my surgery Dr. Wong told me just wait how you look at Christmas time...and now here we are and I really couldn't be a whole lot happier with my results so far. Thanks Dr. Wong!

Here's an update at a little over 4 months now. I am quite pleased with the results, particularly if this is just the beginning. I've added a few more before pictures to show you that Dr. Wong raised the hairline considerably, and was in fact planning for future loss. At four months I have not experienced any shockloss other than hair around the scar for the first couple weeks after surgery. I think the results are looking great so far and have had a number of people tell me how much they like my "haircut." They can tell something is different but the change was so gradual they can't quite put there finger on what it is.

Well, it's been about two months since my last update...LOTS is starting to happen. I am now at the 3.5 month mark and definitely starting to develop a hairline and hopefully this is just the start. The scar is pretty much dissapearing as my hair gets longer, the redness is still there but gradually fading. Nice to be out of the doldrums and seeing some results though!

Here's a week 5 update: The redness in the recepient area is completely gone. My donor scar is feeling great and basically normal again. The redness of the scar is gradually starting to fade, but when i go to work I sprinkle a little toppik on the area, and you honestly cannot even see the scar if you're looking for it. The grafts from what i can tell have all fallen out, and my native hair is starting to grow in nicely. It's going to be a tough couple months waiting for my new ones to come in!

Can anyone tell me if you have to buy toppik online or do they sell it in stores as well? If they don't are there any similar products to buy in stores? Thanks.

Day 17 update...everything seems to be going fine although it's tough to say goodbye to those grafts as they jump ship. Recently cut my hair down to a number two and the scar isn't very visible except on the right side. And I might add the most painful part of the process had to be taking out those 71 staples...OUCH!

Thanks guys, I'm just noticing it on my pillow and a little shampooing in the shower...can't tell by looking at my scalp so it sounds like i'm doing ok

hi guys, I'm now at 12 days post-op and know this is the time you start to see grafts shedding, but this morning when I woke up I found a number of them on my pillow. Can anyone tell me if this is perfectly normal, or if I might be vigorously scratching my head while I'm sleeping. Thanks!

I had my consult visit with Mike Ferko in Seattle, and he thought it'd be between 3-4 thousand grafts...but after meeting with Dr. Wong he thought more would definitely be better with a raised hairline if I wasn't constrained by finances.

Now on day 4 with some new pics...experiencing some mild forehead swelling so hopefully that will be the extent of it. Spent a full day at work today with a hat with no problems so hopefully I'm off to a good start.

Thanks for the support guys! Bill, I had been on propecia for a couple of years, but Dr. Wong switched me to 1.25mg Proscar every other day. Hopefully I'll be able to hang on to my native hair as long a possible, but Dr. Wong said he packed enough in the middle that it won't look bad if I do start to lose it all.

4714 grafts with Dr. Wong of hasson and wong. A great experience and here's to hoping for some great results in the coming months!
