Hello all. I actually posted these pictures on another part of the site, but since this is a photos section, I thought I would post them here. I just got an HT and am at 3 days Post OP. The pictures I will post right now are from a month before the surgery and 2 Day Post Op Pics.

I'd love to get some feedback from you all, especially those who have had HT before. How does the post op look?

Thank you all for your comments, and thank you Forum Moderator also for your help and ethical remarks. I also don't think it's fair to speak negatively about a physician without having a personal experience to share.

I will certainly keep you all posted. I will attempt to post some more pictures on here, and/or on the photos page, which ever one I find easier =).

As you can see according to the pics, I still have some hair on top and still have a pretty steady hairline (although very thin at that). The surgery I had was an all around fill in of 1600 grafts, 800 in the front, and 800 in the back. This is my first time getting an HT, so I will see how the results are, and then consider getting a second (and hopefully last) one as I lose more hair, etc.

My experience of Dr. Katz thus far:

The surgery day went very well. He and I had some really good talks during the surgery as he really put my mind at ease during the whole process. He was very gentle and took his time to really do a good job. In the process, as he was removing the hair from the back, he was telling me that he deems the back as important as the front in that he does the job in such a way so that there is minimal scarring. Of course, I will let you all know how that is later down the road. Basically, the surgery went very well, and he made the process very easy. As far as the "experience", I would definately go to him again. As far as results, well, I'm a newbie and never experienced HT before, so that's why I am here...to share my results!

I am going to attempt to post some pics now!

Please feel free to share any more opinions, etc.

Oh, by the way, the cost of the HT was 7000 for 1600 Grafts which from what I can see seems comparable.

anyone else here ever have a HT done by Dr. Katz? Does everyone reading this want me to keep you up to date on my progress?

Sorry...could only upload 1 attachment per post...so here is the 2nd pic 2nd day post op:

Ok, for those who want to know more, I will share. I am 27 years old, with pretty much a straight line hair loss, very thin in the front, balding badly in the back. i am going to attempt to post pictures if I can find out how on this site, both of before and 2 day post surgery (that being today). For those interested, I will keep everyone posted as things progress.

First Picture is before surgery taken July 2004.

Second Picture is today (2 days after surgery)

Are you talking about Dr Theodore Katz near Philadelphia? If so, I've just had an HT with Dr. Katz. Surgery went without a hitch, and I'm on day 2 now. Stitches aren't noticable in the back as my hair covers it nicely (even though my hair is short) and my surgery looks like everyone elses, red and white dots on the top of my head with follicles placed in them. 1600 grafts were placed.
