i had HT with DR. Keene and im very happy with results after 13 months. Maybe i expected a little bit more,but i had "only" 2000 grafts.thats why i would sugest to everyone to go with more grafts because 2000 gr will not make any big difference! im also happy that all my natural hair i lost in shock loss came back!

i would like to know one thing. If you have HT and have shock loss,and all natural hair comes back after shockloss,does it mean that your natural hair (that came back) is not weak and will stay there (almost) forever?

i visited both doctors and for some reason decided to go with with dr. Keene. i had 2000 grafts and my hairloss was similar to yours. Tommorow will be exactly one year post op. i will try to post pics soon. Im happy with results, altough maybe i expected little bit more,but as i said it was worth it!. she sugested 2000 gr probably thinking of my shock loss,well i had shock loss only in my donor area but it all came back! my scar is still visibile with wet hair but i dont care much about that! i would like to have second procedure and add more density but im tired of all that process,waiting period,shock loss etc....

hi action how u doing? tell us what dr keene told you ,please. i called dr keene couple of times but could not get her on the phone. im hapy with my transplant with her but maybe i expected little bit more (i had 2000 grafts). i also had little growth in my temples,but overall looks good,maybe because of my existing hair and propecia.... good luck my friend!

hi all well this is my 7 month update,and im sory i have only 2 (bad) photos, this site was great to help me to choose a right doctor and i found many other things that helped me to improve condition of my hair. now after 7 months i can say- it was really worth 7000 bucks how much i payed for surgery! my growth started 2 months after surgery and lasted until month 5. in that time after 5 mo i stopped using MSM so i dont know if that was reason,but i doubt it. Anyway,growth on my sides (where i received 1500 grafts) was good but density is still low and does not match my existing hair. But when i stile my hair (look at my pics) its not noticable. I also recieved 500 grafts between my existing hair. bottom line,transplanted hair mixed with my existing hair give me nice result, but i wonder if i didnt have any (or few) existing hairs in the front how result would be.... im taking proscar every 2 days now and hope to keep now what i have,and most important thing- i dont have any more people saying: dude you are balding.... maybe result would be better if i have received more grafts but my donor area was not really dense according to the doctor....

hello action how u doing? well,it takes time to see final result i guess,.....if u check some other posts in this and other forums u can see lot of people notice big diference from moth 6-8. are u going to check with dr.keene after 6 months? Im 1 month behind you and im very hapy with result. I was taking every day MSM,hair vitamins,biotin,nioxin follice booster and proscar. I dont know if all this stuff help but i noticed a lot of growth after 3 months and also my existing hair improved 100%. Nobody is saying - "dude u are balding " anymore.... good luck and i wish you many new growth in new year!

i think this is true. my existing hair become healthier, stronger and thicker almost immidiately after transplant.

hi gibraltar, yes,hair around my donor scar is coming back,still not 100% but its coming back! It started growing around 3th month post op. i dont see any hair on scar but it takes time i guess....

hi all ive recently purchased BIOTIN capsules (5mg) from health store and started to take them 15 days ago... My existing hair is improved alot,i mean ALOT,its ticker and really healty,and i can also see alot of new growth from my HT transplant i had 4 months ago.... Im not sure this is all related to biotin but i have not seen my hair in this condition for long time! I have been taking MSM,proscar and HAIR vitamines for about 8 months but i have not seen so drastically change like in these last 10 days! anyone have simmilar experience with biotin here? Also im not sure if i should stop taking MSM,i really dont see any benefit from it,in last 8 months it maybe did my existing hair growing faster but i doubt it has something to do with new (HT) growth!

hi actionradar how u doing? well,5 months is still to early i guess,im 4 months and still waiting to see any big difference. i know waiting sucks.....which side is growing much more,right or left?

i think it looks good,there is big difference between your first and last photos. Scar... i dont know... its noticable...... BTW i have a question for u guys- is trico-closure supposed to be invisible? Is hair supposed to grow thru scar?

wow so you saw first growth after only 3 months, right? thats amazing! im almost 3 months post op and still waiting to see any growth.....!

hey actionradar how u doing? i saw your 3 month pics they look ok for only 3 months. do you see any new growth yet?

i think it looks really good. im also using MSM. and i think my hair is much ticker now. how is your scar? do u still have that bald patch?
