Bill - Seemiller Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Thanks Mrjb, It is good to see activity happening...but it's definitely going slow compared to the last 2 times. BUT, good things come to those who wait right? LOL B...nah...if I was going to do BHT, I think I'd go for the chest...a lot of hair there I could use! I don't see BHT in my future though...EVER Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairbank Posted February 27, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2007 Bill- Sounds/looks like things are getting interesting!! I'm betting the next 2 months prove very eventful for you.............hopefully your little Bill-clones will have the same success!! Glad to hear you plan on growing it out a little at some point...........I think HT hair needs to at least be grown between 1"-2" for a nice appearance of density.

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hairbank, Ah...now if I could only clone my grafts and not just myself to post on multiple threads at once . Then I'd have a REALLY thick head of hair. I agree...I think the hair has to be longer to appear more dense. My main reason for keeping it short was so the little hairs growing in could easily catch up. Of course, since it's a slow process, it doesn't seem worth keeping it too short for a long time. So I've decided to grow it on the top to at least an inch and the sides to a 3 or 4 clip. I'll probalby keep it like that for several months and see how things progress Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Orion Posted February 28, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2007 Looks like your right on track Bill! I've been following your progress so I can compare your results with mine considering we got ours roughly at the same time I got a nice "pop" of growth between months 3 and 4 but things seem to have slown down a bit..guess we all must be patient..it sure is tough though My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Orion, Thanks for the post my friend. I just looked at your blog too...yep, looks like we are in a similar place...always encouraging to go through this with someone at the same time. Though admittedly, it can be discouraging for someone if one person is experiencing earlier growth than the other...good thing we are both educated and know that hairs grow at different rates for different people . Glad to see you are progressing nicely! Much more to come for both of us! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member John_in_NC Posted March 5, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2007 another month or two and you will be fine, no sign of HT as the hair will grow enough IMO. Maybe the new crown grafts will take longer but the old one will fill in while the rest grows. Happy days are here again....just let your grow now and you'll be fine.

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Thanks John, I appreciate the encouragement and support! some lights my hair looks great...top view looks pretty thin still...but I'm sure a lot of that has to do with my hair being so short and my ultra-thick sides. I'm going to grow the hair a bit and see how it looks. Also, I feel some itching starting again in the recipient area...typically means more growth to come. 4.5 months is still early! Will kee you all posted. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 5 month update: Some new growth...coming in slowly. I have grown my hair a little bit too...still very short...in the process of growing it. The difference between the 4 month and 5 month pictures can be attributed to two things: 1. new growth 2. Feathering effect of slightly longer hair The feathering effect, however, will look much better once it grows longer considering my hair is still relatively spikey! Comments welcome.

Senior Member nobuzz4me Posted March 17, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 17, 2007 Bill, Looking great - particularly the crown for month 3 vs 5! Should fill in nicely, you have a lot more growing to do! How is your scar area? When did see the first sprouts? I am 9.5 weeks and believe I am seeing the very beginnings of a few sprouts. Hoping I am an early bloomer! NoBuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mike1651 Posted March 17, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted March 17, 2007 Bill: Your showing great progress...the layering effect is starting to become much more noticeable...your crown swirl is excellent & the density will continue to improve...it looks great my friend...looking forward to next month's update!!

Senior Member John_in_NC Posted March 17, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 17, 2007 I want a HAIR count, a hair shaft diameter, and a picture taken under a 120 W light in a room at exactly 72 degrees. Looks great! You are officially in the normal looking stage now. 99% of people might see some thinning but that's about it; no signs of HT in my opinion. In a month or two, the thinning will disappear as well so you should be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Thanks for your encouragement guys! nobuzz, Yeah, the crown is coming along nicely. Hang in there buddy...9.5 weeks is early. You may experience a few hairs around that time, but don't expect too much at that time. As you know, it's a gradual process. Mike, Thanks buddy. The layering effect is starting to help a little bit...hair still very spikey at this point. That will change soon. John, LOL buddy. You're funny! Yeah, I'm looking normal again...still a long way to go, but I'm getting there. I can't wait until my hair grows out a bit. NN, Thanks man....it's good to see a difference month to month. Hairbank, Thanks bro! Things are coming along nicely and can't wait for things to continue to improve! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Thanks for the update Bill, I have been following your progress & you are looking good for only 5 months! Can't wait to see it grown out.

Senior Member M&M Posted March 17, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 17, 2007 Bill, I was reading some of the comments on my phone and was anxious to get to a computer and actually see the new photos. Now having seen them, there really is a difference at Month 5 vs. 4. You are in the home stretch now - past the awkward first couple of months and now just happy growth to look forward to. Thanks for being so diligent with your updates and here's to continued strong growth! It's going to look fantastic afterwards! ___________________________ 1662 with Dr. Ron Shapiro - Spring 2006 1105 with Dr. Ron Shapiro - Fall 2009 M&M Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 follica, Thanks man! I appreciate the encouragement. 5 months is still early so I look forward to more growth. M&M, Glad you could see the pictures. Indeed there is a difference. Can't wait for a few more months...hair will be longer and new growth will come in, not to mention the thickening of the existing hair. Good stuff. Thanks guys!
