Guest Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 vocor, is 80 grafts per cm2 considered low as far as donor density? also, when are you going to post up your next pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vocor1 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I'm not sure what average density is, but I think 80-100 FUs/cm^2 is good density for a non-balding area of hair. I will take 4-month post op picts this weekend. I never got around to posting the 3-month picts. But I'll post the 4 and 3 month picts as a progression with the other picts I took. vocor1 Knowledge is Power If the worst question is the one never asked, then the worst answer is the one never shared.

vocor1 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 PRGuy: No, I'm not confused. Here is the scoop: 25 FU/cm^2 = visible established presence of hair 40-50 FU/cm^2 = appearance of fullness 60-100 FU/cm^2 = natural full head of hair If you can refute this, let me see your sources. I'm not above being wrong, but this is info I read from Shapiro Medical's brochure. 100 FU/cm^2 is very dense hair. I know I came in just under 80 FU/cm^2 in my donor area when I had my HT. My sides and back are pretty darn thick -- it's the top that was thin and crappy. vocor1 Knowledge is Power If the worst question is the one never asked, then the worst answer is the one never shared.

AJ Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 So 5 weeks down the road 90% off the new hair has shed, however I am experiencing little/no shock loss to the original hair in the transplanted areas. I am using 5% Rogaine once a day combined with Propecia so I do not know if this is some of the reason for the low shock loss. The scar has healed very nice - hardly noticeable anymore. My head also feels almost like before, so I think most of the nerves have reconnected successfully. Overall there has been little pain/discomfort and I am looking forward to seeing some hair reappearing within a few weeks.

Guest Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 aj can we see some updated pics please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 AJ, I'm waiting anxiously to see your updated pics. My hairline is similar to yours. I think it was wise not to go to aggressive on your hairline. I think you'll be very happy with your decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
