Senior Member Tubs Posted April 5, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted April 5, 2009 I am now 8 months Post HT. - **UPDATED to 11 mths* After the first few weeks of checking my hair every 10 mins, I began to realise that it was not the most productive use of my time! I didn't keep my HT a secret and so was able to canvas many opinions - such as 1. My wife who said she didn't really mind either way if I had an HT, to being really amazed by the results and the difference it has made to how I look. 2. My barbers - they have never seen a HT that looked so natural - they have only seen bad UK pluggy HT's 3. Several Doctors and surgeons (my wife's side of the family nearly all in the medical profession) who have given my head an inspection that was similar to "monkey grooming" - all agreed that the naturalness and scar healing were excellent. 4. Friends and family - most admitted to being very sceptical and felt I was pursuing a route based on "desparation" - all now postitively surprised on the outcome todate. The decision to have a HT has been one of my better ones - I feel a debt of gratitude to Spex for all his help in the early stages and Dr Feller and his team for the results thus far which I really couldn't be happier with. Next for me is the crown - I really want to avoid long downtime this time round and will be contacting Dr Feller to discuss the possibility of FUE.

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted April 5, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted April 5, 2009 Looks like you've received amazing coverage in one pass. How many grafts? ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Hi Azza About month 4 i started to notice a real difference. I was very fortunate to have experienced early growth, I know from reading your story that you naturally have concerns but I think my early growth was exceptional - be patient it will come. Spex - No problem, will take some hairline photos and post - you down south any time soon? I'll PM/email you re: possibility of stage 2 (got a few questions I would like to ask Dr F.). Petchski - No doubt the propecia has made a difference, I started taking it a couple of months before my HT - the best thing about the stronger crown is that there is enough there for the Nanofibres to attach and make the reamining "bald-patch" disappear. Bill - Yeah, I can and do have bad hair days now! Best wishes for your latest surgery. Thanks again to all who have commented.

Regular Member CalvinKlein Posted April 6, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted April 6, 2009 Excellent coverage buddy. Looks very very natural and would love to see some hairline pics as well. You should still expect more growth and density for the next 4-6 months. Any hairloss meds pre and post-transplant? By the way, I've had family go to Feller in the past. Good choice.

Senior Member Eman Posted April 9, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted April 9, 2009 Looks great Tubs. Spex adding the comparison really shows the true transformation. Looks totally natural and you must be thrilled with what you have. I would say you could get away without having a second procedure as your face is framed and no one really notices the back unless seated behind you at a sporting event...but then who cares! Great transformation! My initial HT thread: done and done!! Check it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Tubs Posted April 29, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2009 I have just updated the above photo album with some hairline shots - apologies for delay. Hair is still thickening and ,imo, looks completely natural - so pleased with Dr Feller and his team that I plan to get in touch with Dr Feller soon to discuss a plan for the crown.

Senior Member Tubs Posted May 3, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks for comments. Spex - sure I can do some distance shots - i thought the close ups posted above showed how natural the hairline was and in most transparent way!! I have no intention (or ,imo any need), for any hairline refinement - very, very pleased with hairline as is. Abby - cheers buddy, slick back was for the photos only, but maybe it time for a new look!! Do you have any updates on your HT - your 9 mths shots look like you had good growth, have you let it grow now?
