I traveled 2 hours to get an HT yesterday and then went back home. I need to do my first day wash now and have slight/moderate blood spots or maybe scabbing around the grafts. Can I wash this myself or do I need to travel 2 hours down the road and have my clinic do it? Would really like to avoid the drive. Thanks!

Is it advisable to do my first day wash myself. I live 2 hours from clinic and don't really want to drive all the way back for a 5 minute wash. Can I do this on my own? Or should I just mack the 2 hour drive and have them do it? Should have spent the night there. Thanks!

I wasn't going to post pics past 12 months but I really think I've had some noticeable change the last 2 months. Going for small number 2 HT next month to fix slightly thinned area on frontal hairline. Yahoo!!!!!

Maybe I'm measuring wrong but this is how I figure my area that needs to be covered. I have a hairline that is about 6 inches long and I want to fill in the first 1/2 inch. This equals a total of about 15 square cm. If I multiply 15 by my desired added density (30 hairs per square inch) I get a total of 450 graphs. This seems like it would give me a noticeable cosmetic difference. I must admit though the whole measuring process confuses me a bit so maybe I have my calculations wrong.

I had an HT 13 months ago and am really satisfied with the results. I just scheduled to go in and get a small HT to give me a little more thickness to the first 1/2 inch of my hairline. I think once this is done the result will be perfect. My question is how many graphs do you think I would need to get a nice looking density? I'm scheduled to have 400 done but am now having second thoughts as to whether that would be enough. Here's a link to my 12 month photo. Please let me know what you guys think? http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/groupee_files/photo_al...5EE5DBA68B37BAF2.JPG

Here's 1 year pics. What a change from 1 year ago. Absolutely zero regrets . Best 6 grand I ever spent. I'm done posting pics now that I've hit a year. I will probably get HT # 2 sometime in the fall.

Here's the 10 month pics.

Your head looks great in that photo. Perhaps you're being overly critical. I can't see anything wrong with your hair. Maybe you should post a better photo. I would try to hold off another 10 years before HT number 2.

I just saw this photo and can't believe how bald this guy has become. I can't even recognize him anymore. Aging sucks!!!!

Pakistan, I agree with your opinion. I initially thought when my doctor told me the density per square inch (I forgot what that was now) that it seemed a bit low. I never said anything though figuring she knew a lot better than me what would be best. I figured she was probably taking the future into perspective in regards to future loss and donor supply. I don't mind her taking the conservative approach because I believe it looks out for my best interest long term. However, now that I'm seeing how good my hair looks I feel the onset of hair greed kicking in. What I have now is definitely nothing to complain about - but I know with a little more my head would be picture perfect. So I need to reassess whether I should add more, and risk not having enough hair graphs for when I get older should hair loss progress. My family genetics tell me I will never be a norwood 5, but I have learned from this site that is not a guarantee.

I'm at the 9 month mark now. I think I'll probably have to go in for a 2nd HT in a year or so to touch up a few spots that seem a bit thin still, The right side of my head is perfect but the left is a bit thinner than I would like. Fortunately by hair is naturally wavy so it's hard to tell if you're not looking for it. I'd also like to make the very start of my hairline a tad bit thicker. All-in-all i figure another 1200 graphs should do me good. I figure I'll wait a year more though just in case I get some more growth. Overall I'm 100 percent satisfied with my first HT. I knew from the beginning my chances were somewhat good of needing a small 2nd HT.

I've had zero regrets and no complications. HT is definitely the best 6 grand I've ever spent. I was only a norwood 2/3 though so my results were probably much easier to obtain than someone on a higher scale.
