well ain't that something....This new set of info. is pushing my 2nd HT farther and farther away till i get some down time...

No he didn't really tell me why he shaved the recipient area, I just assumed it was easier to work with. I thought he shaved all his patients

Thanks! Dr hasson is an excellent surgeon and i have a great result from him for my first HT. I really can't do the whole shave head thing again bc of work. the first time around i had like 6 weeks of downtime so it was a non issue thanks again for the reply

I'm 20 months from my first HT w/ Dr. Hasson and things look decent. I'm contemplating a 2nd HT to fill things up nicely in the hairline. Who are the hairline experts? And are there any surgeon's that don't need to shave your head to do the procedure? I only get a couple weeks of vacation and my work go for the HT haircut. Any suggestions?

MAN! the exact same thing happenned to me last night! I got a strong scalp massage in addition to a full body/foot massage and I swore I lost a ton of hair. In fact i could see about 10-20 hairs on my shirt and i started tripping out again as usual. I'm already 20 months post op and I still have the nervous breakdowns about loosing my grafts. I could swear my hairline looks thinner after the scalp massage but my girl friend thinks i'm smoking crack. Thanks for insuring my follicles are intact guys.

sorry man to hear about your situation. side effects are def. not the norm and you just have to weigh whether the quality of life that is being compromised is worth the effects of the medication you are taking. I'm really sorry man. I haven't had any side fx whatsoever on propecia or avodart, so I'm considering myself lucky...

hairs aren't breaking for sure CJS. I usually always see a little bulb at the end of the hairs. I hardly rub the scalp at all while shampooing, never wear a hat, don't use a blow dryer and don't use minoxidil. Thanks for all the advice however. I might be combing the area a little too much though, I've been trying to stop doing that actually but its tough!!! Side effects huh? I'll check out your post after this, but I've been free from any kind of side effects actually.

Bill: thanks for the clarifying, I actually was one too many beers when I read your post. The hairs don't look like thinner shorter hairs, they look healthy with a small bulb attached to the end. They don't have the longer bulb that you usually see if you just yanked out one hair. I've been using Nizoral on the regular since about 4 months post op. I haven't had any shedding with it the past, so I don't think its the nizoral but who knows? Thanks for all the replies, I don't think its visually thinner than at 6-7 months. Its probably about the same. I didn't really see much thickening after 6-7 months and I was a later bloomer.

no the hairs are thick and healthy looking. they sometimes come in pairs when they come out. so r u saying they might be native hairs that are destined for death? if they are grafts, they should grow back right? thanks for speaking up Bill, your replies are always appreciated. GP

Guys, quick question, I'm like 10 months post op and the hair looks decent but I feel like whenever I comb my hair I loose a few hairs, its not a lot, maybe 1-5 everytime I comb my hair and it tends to mainly where the grafts were placed. Am I just being paranoid? I'm trying to be as gentle as I can when I comb that area, and I swear I'm coming the rest of my hair more vigorously and still I feel like more hair is coming out of the graft area.,...does that hair that falls out assuming its a graft grow back??? or is it gone? thanks in advance.

hey dizzy, your hair looks really good to me. I sort of had the same procedure that you had done and believe me, yours look good man. I always look in the mirror and want more density so I totally understand how you feel. I look at my b4 and after pics and see marginal differences. The only thing is now my hair is a litttle/moderately better than before i got the HT but I'm completely off the rogaine now for one year...had I been off the rogaine with now HT, I'd be a NW3-4. Your b4 and after pictures look amazing. looking good buddy....better than mine, at least you can slick your hair back wet, thats a hard feat to do with most HTs. mine looks good when there aren't bright lights and the hair is dry....

hey bank! I haven't posted for a while cuz I haven't been around, but your results look superior. Things def. looking good bro.

Hey Bay! Looks awesome buddy! Nice to see a full head of hair on you. Seriously man, looks awesome for 6 months bro. GP
