Baxter 12 month update, 3315 Grafts, 9063 Hairs w/ Dr. Paul Shapiro

[baxter]

Here is my 12 month FU. As you can see I decided to part my hair on the opposite side. It had been so long since I had hair I did not remember what side of my head I parted my hair on.

Jana did take some videos of my donor area, and I will try to figure out a way to post them, or have Jana do it for me.

I do plan to have a second surgery at the end of October. I would like more coverage on my crown and bring the temperal anlges down a bit if possible. Dr. Paul thinks he can get another 3,000 + because I have a good donor and good laxity.

It has been 8 months since my transplant and I am very pleased. At 62 my goal was to somewhat reverse the aging process, but keep a mature look. The hair looks very natural and considering my big head ( I wear a 7 6/8 hat) I got great coverage.

 

I have included some photos of before and after at 8 months and a few of the donor scar.

 

Graft Count

(To get my total FU number Dr. Paul doubled the DFU number since there are 2 FU's in each DFU, or double follicular unit)

 

(To calculate the total hair number Dr Paul used the average of 5 hairs in each DFU)

You have every right to be happy with your results baxter.

Great result in my book.

Your a very young looking 62, even before the HT. You actually don't look over 50, probably younger if the beard was dark. HT looks good.

Thanks for the positive comments.

I have thought of dying my beard but I guess I am too lazy.
