Senior Member Mahair Posted September 7, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted September 7, 2005 No doubt Dr. Keene is one of the top docs. Conversley if you are having ANY doubts or nervousness cancel.One thing I learned the hard way is trust your instincts. If you are not 110% good to go ,bail out. "The first cut is the deepest."

Senior Member the B spot Posted September 8, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted September 8, 2005 I feel you Gorpy. You know I am going this the 13th and I am a bit nervous myself. I have never had any type of surgery and while I am confident in Dr. Shapiro, a little trepidation does exist. You will be fine. I have yet to read any negative posts regarding Dr. Keene. Happy Growing!!!

Senior Member Gorpy Posted September 8, 2005 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 8, 2005 Thanks for the replies. I'm actually very confident that Dr. Keene will do an excellent job. It's more a nervous anticipation. I'm also nervous about what people will think of me having the procedure etc. I don't think I'll be able to completely conceal that I had something done. Especially since my hairline will be moved down. ____________ 2700 Total Grafts w/ Keene 9/28/05 663 one's = 663 1116 two's = 2232 721 three's = 2163 200 four's = 800 Hair Count = 5858 1000 Total Grafts w/Keene 2/08/07 Mostly combined FU's for 2600+ hairs My Photo Album See me at Dr. Keene's Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JacobS Posted September 9, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2005 Gorpy- Folks in general have a very short memory span and adapt to a new look very quickly. Do what makes you happy!! Most people really don't care because they enjoy being around joyful people and you will be very pleased with yourself in 4-6 months. Dr keane will take good care of you. You are going with someone with a great track record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Gorpy Posted September 9, 2005 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2005 Ha, that's funny. I'm definitely looking forward to my new "hair style". Just to have hair in my hairline to comb would be nice. I'll keep everyone up to date with my progress. My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 28.

Senior Member GuitarPlayer Posted September 9, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2005 Gorpy, how many grafts are you getting and what norwood level are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gorpy Posted September 9, 2005 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2005 2700 grafts. The front half of my scalp is very thin, but the back half is still ok,so they are all going into the front half. Whatever norwood that is. I've been on finasteride so hopefully that halted or slowed future loss. ____________ 2700 Total Grafts w/ Keene 9/28/05 663 one's = 663 1116 two's = 2232 721 three's = 2163 200 four's = 800 Hair Count = 5858 1000 Total Grafts w/Keene 2/08/07 Mostly combined FU's for 2600+ hairs My Photo Album See me at Dr. Keene's Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
