Senior Member hairbank Posted March 23, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 23, 2007 L', To further explain what I meant by the bulb in the graft, take a look at this graft pic link posted in "B spot's" thread (thanks B) about comparing African American grafts to Caucasion grafts. If you're grafts were trimmed using a microscope, the number of hairs or bulbs contained should have been evident as you seen them in this pic. Just my opinion, hopefully we'll hear from others on this. So, using this as an explanation of 2 hair grafts in the hairline just doesn't seem to make sense to me, but I'm no Doc either. Keep me posted of how things go for you on the results of HT#2..............best of luck!

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 L'Anonyme, Sorry to hear that the first HT didn't produce the density you were looking for. As you know 1150 grafts is not a very large number, however, by the looks of your pics, I would agree that you really didn't need that many grafts in the hairline anyway. Regarding the grafts not growing, I'm not sure what to tell you. I tend to agree that it would have more to do with the way the grafts were handled then your physiology. It sounds like by what you are saying Dr. True didn't offer you an explanation of any kind...are you thinking about asking him? I know for me, I'd want to know...but that's just me. I'm glad Dr. True gave you 200 free grafts...just make sure you take and keep detailed photos of your immediately post op pictures and progressive pictures up to at least a year. Do yourself a favor at the least, and take some pictures in better lighting. Those last pictures you took are difficult to see, and will be difficult to compare later...just IMO. Good luck and keep us posted. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member L'Anonyme Posted March 24, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks, Bill. I'll try to put up more pics in better lighting, but as I said before, you can tell what's amiss from what's up already. As for the poor growth, I think you answered the question -- bad handling, lack of quality control, whatever you wanna call it; that's the only thing it could be in my opinion.

Senior Member notgoing2gobald Posted March 5, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2008 In ALL honesty, it is *very* difficult to tell by your pics... They have such a rustic, rarity of quality that one would only find in a Robert Rodriugez film (sin city, death grind, anyone?) which really makes it difficult to tell. Even through the filter of your '70's horror film lens of your pre-op pic &(most) of your post-op pics, you appeared to have LITTLE hair loss... That being said, you look good over all and have NOTHING to be concerned with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member L'Anonyme Posted March 5, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ha, thanks notgoing. Maybe I'll break up the horrorshow aesthetic soon w/ some color shots, but the last few I think are bright enough to show how the hairline has developed and matured.

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 L'Anonyme, It's good to see you my friend. From the pictures, it appears that you have a very nice solid hairline now. I've never been a fan of those types of pictures as the contrast isn't realistic. I hope you'll post some additional color photos also. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
