OK, so after posting my experience with him I've read mixed reviews about Dr. Lehr in Oklahoma City... anyone else have an experience with him they could share? As for me, I only have good things to say about the guy, but I'm still waiting to see the final results of my second procedure with him.

Believe it or not I got a great haircut today.... it does make a lot of difference..

Thanks... I uploaded the correct pic

And finally, this is me before my first transplant. You can see how much hair I grew due to the minox/drugs... One last thing... since I gave his name out.. I'd like to say that Dr. Lear was great. He has a good bed-side manner and even offered to "re-do" an area on my head for free that did not grow in that well after the first HT.

My Doc was Dr. Lehr... in Oklahoma City. I did not use a flash with that pic. I'll upload a second pic that I think I used a flash on...

I'm frustrated.... Here's my situation. Started out as a Norwood 6. Had my first HT 12 months ago ??“2700 grafts. (in front and in crown) Had my second HT 6 months ago ??“2500 grafts. (all densely packed in front half of scalp.) Both procedures were the "strip" method. The Doctor I used is one of the "recommended" Doctors on this site. My actual hair is very thin... so I've always known that I'd need multiple procedures to achieve density. My HT Doctor had me wait 6 months after the first procedure before performing the second. So here I am, six months after the second procedure and he tells me that I have to wait another 6 months until he'll perform a third. (Something about the elasticity of the donor area ??“but he made this determination via email... without "seeing" me) What I can't seem to figure out is whether or not I should be happy with my results so far. Even with my naturally thin hair I sorta' feel like my results should be much better than they are. What do you guys think? I should also tell you that I use the following: Minox/Xandrox, Propecia (1 mg a day), Dut. (.5 mg 3 times a week.) Using this concoction helped me grow back A LOT of hair... even before my HTs... which is why I'm wondering whether out not I should be happy with the results of the 2 procedures. Maybe the drugs/Minox has stopped working for me and I've lost all of the hair that it helped to grow ??“leaving me with only the transplanted hair left? I'll upload a pic that was taken the other day ??“6 months after my 2nd HT.Please give me your opinions. Also, should I try to find a Doctor who's willing to perform a third procedure on me sooner than my original HT Doctor. Thanks, Modman....
