Senior Member Salt-N-Peppa Posted January 21, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2007 These are photos that I took the day prior to my HT #2 while at Dr Hassons' office. I have included a pre HT photo from 8 months ago for comparison. This HT was 4944FU on the front and mid section of my head performed by Dr Hasson on May 23rd 2006...The crown had no work done, any new hairs there is attributed to Avodart. I am quite happy with the results to date.

Regular Member TooThin Posted January 21, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted January 21, 2007 It looks very natural. Excellent coverage with only one surgery. TooThin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pushing 40 Posted January 21, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2007 That looks phenominal. I can't imagine how it must feel to go from slam ass bald like you were to looking that good with all that hair. Seriously, what does that feel like? I know it doesn't happen overnight; it is a gradual process over the course of months but still it must feel almost like "holy crap, look at me!!". That's awesome, very happy for you!

Senior Member Salt-N-Peppa Posted January 21, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2007 It feels kinda like if you score bringing the hot chick to the prom. I have been losing my hair for so long, and unfortunately my confidence too......this has been a HUGE lift to my appearance and how I feel about myself. Like Bill, I am diligent abot going to the gym virtually daily, I watch my diet closely but I had no control over going bald ( BTW, thanks for nothing Dad!!). Now, I feel back in the drivers seat. We are a visual society, and I used to be on the short end of that straw. I can hardly wait for the next 6 months to pass as I just had HT #2 with Dr Hasson last week. Thanks for the kind words.

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Salt-N-Peppa, Looks great man....8 months and almost 5000 grafts has given you a lot of coverage. Keep us posted on your 2nd HT progress as well. I can't recall...have you posted any pics from that yet? How many grafts? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Salt-N-Peppa Posted January 21, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2007 no HT #2 photos yet. I should get a file from Jotronic soon and it includes the post op #2 photos. I'll upload those soon, and also create a blog on this forum that will show pre-op, 3 month, 4 month....through 8 month. It is kinda funny, I got 1960FU on HT #2 and was disappointed that it wasn't 2500. Hair greed I guess. I told DR Hasson that there would not be a rematch, two HT's is enough.

Senior Member hairbank Posted January 22, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2007 S-N-P, Thanks for posting your updates....................it's really, really coming along nicely. Looks like you've got nice coverage pretty much everywhere and you're crown isn't too bad..................maybe avodart will continue to pick up the slack for you there.

Senior Member Salt-N-Peppa Posted January 22, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2007 Actually, HT #2 last week focused on the crown extensively, but I will continue using Avodart to hopefully enhance the transplant.
