I would bet 10,000 dollars that john could not tell I had a HT (sorry 3 HT's). Hair transplantation is science and science is based on results. HT's today are a very high percentage surgery as are most cosmestic procedures. Ones opinion does not factor into documented proof and hundreds of thousands of successful procedures.
Of course I can totally appreciate his concern and pessimism as i myself was skeptical thinking " no way I can have hair looking good again" (especially at 3 or so months). But then come about 12 months he will be singing like a bird as I was after my first procedure. Then he will want another.
Well, I was wrong too. 5017 grafts later I have a great head of hair by any standard
That is fortunately undisputable
Hang in there John, Feller is a great doc!
4 months is NOTHING. No doubt the waiting is the worse part of the procedure by far.
