Bill - Seemiller Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hello everyone, I thought I'd post this on a new thread so you get an idea where I was comparing 9/2004 before any surgery to where I am now on 3/4/2006. 1 year and a half later and I have more hair. I apologize in advance for the difference in lighting, but this is the best before picture I have that shows my full front face...whereas, I had to work with a different camera in my house for the second pic. Either way, I think it's pretty clear that something is different about me. I've had some people ask me, did your hair get lighter? At least they notice "something" is different. What do you think?

Senior Member hairbank Posted March 6, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2006 Bill, I think it looks great! The difference of the pics is night and day- I'd be very pleased if I were you. Also, I think your hairline looks natural and you cannot tell you've had any loss at all. Congrats to you!

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hey guys...thanks for the compliments. I look the best from the front for sure...looking at those pics, it looks like I haven't had any loss and i'm not thinning...but top pictures show otherwise...I have one more surgery to go...hopefully before I'm ready to stop I think. I just cut the top of my hair down to a 7 clip, and to some degree, Im' sorry I did...because when I compare now my 7 month pics to my 5.5 month pics, I look about the same. I think, however, that most of the hair on top at this point is grafted hair...which is kind of crazy if you think about it...I think growing my hair out a little bit is the best look for me for now.

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Thanks bro66. Got any before/after pics you can post? I'd like to see your pics and follow your progress. At 3 months, you have a long way to go...you may or may not be starting growth yet at 3 months. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks guys...I appreciate the feedback. I'm definately excited...I have more hair than I have since 2002, maybe even 2001. I still plan on getting one more done, since the front looks pretty good, I want to focus more on the top and back to get a more dense look. Thanks for all your support.

Senior Member tkerr22 Posted March 16, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted March 16, 2006 looks excellent Bill! you and I are in the same position with our hair and I am getting one more HT this summer to fill in the midscalp to crown area. The front looks great now just need to thicken up the midscalp and crown to match the front! congrats! My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Robert_ Posted March 16, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted March 16, 2006 Bill, I have to chime in with my own thoughts. Wow. You are truly styling now, my man.

Senior Member HairHope Posted March 16, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi Bill, I think it looks really natural and very good. I would highly recommend you take a few years off to see what it looks like after a few hair cycles. I believe you will see an increase in the caliper of the hair and your density will significantly improve. best wishes.

Senior Member Gorpy Posted March 17, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted March 17, 2006 As I have told you before Bill, I think your hairline looks dang good. Congrats. I know it has been a long road for you. I think Hairhope has a good point.

Regular Member stillhere Posted March 17, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted March 17, 2006 Looks nice, that's a pretty solid hairline that frames your face very well. I wouldn't touch the hairline anymore. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Wow...thanks guys. I appreciate all the feedback and support I've gotten from you all. I hope I can be as much of a support to all of you as you have been to all of me. I am happy with the hairline for sure, and have been feeling more confident to go around without a hat. The responses I've gotten from people if anything has been, did you lighten your hair? Which obviously...I did not...but I just kind of smile and say...nah, I just got it cut . I agree...I plan on taking some time off, maybe another year...I figured more time off can't hurt anything than jumping into something. I'll wait for a few reasons...obviously, to see what my hair looks like after a few cycles as you've all suggested, AND, to build up the funds for my hopefully the last surgery. I don't plan on getting anymore hairline work done...though I admit, I'll get some grafts toward the front to dense up behind the hairline and further back to the crown. Thanks again all of your for your support. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member L'Anonyme Posted July 8, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted July 8, 2006 Very very nice hairline work, Bill. I hope mine from Dr. True comes in this nicely. And again, good luck on Oct. 19 in Vancouver...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 I just noticed there were a few new posts on this...so I thought I'd reply. Thanks L'Anonyme....I was impressed with Dr. Trues work. Have you gotten your HT yet? If so, how far along are you? I am excited (yet a little anxious as normal...though I'm not a veteran at this point) about meeting Dr. Hasson and getting a third surgery done. I'm actually more anxious about flights than I am about the surgery . Either way...I know Dr. Hasson's work has been astounding, so I feel comfortable in that. Busy, Thanks for the encouragement.

Regular Member L'Anonyme Posted July 15, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted July 15, 2006 Bill, yes I had it on May 25, 2006. Everything went exceptionally well and I'm hoping the results turn out as beautifully. You can find my pictures if you search "Dr. True/1150 grafts" or just search my posts. I'm only about 2 months out; my hairloss wasn't as extensive as yours and I just had frontal hairline work done. I'm on Propecia for everything else....

Bill - Seemiller Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'll take a look at your pictures L'Anonyme. Good thing to be on Propecia....it definately has halted my hairloss, however, I don't think I have a whole lot of native hair left anyway....but I want to hold onto what I have Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted July 16, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hi Bill Funny, I think I am very similar to your hairloss as well. As u know I'm 61/2 months into my 2nd and the front looks good ( A great hairline compliments of Dr. True ). At 2900 or so grafts I think I'll need another HT to fill in the balance of the crown and frontal area to complete the restoration.. I think my magic number is about 4500 -5000 for a complete head of hair.. JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
