Regular Member Sofarsogood Posted June 25, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Hi folks, This post is especially for those of us in the "HT brotherhood" walking around with a "pluggy" or "stalky" hairline. I am very happy to report that after 2 years, my BHT enhanced hairline is growing strong and looking very natural (IMO). In short, my 1990s HT hairline wasn't looking natural to me anymore. Having had multiple strip procedures, I asked Dr. Umar to "feather" and reshape my hairline using body hair only. I was (and am) looking to save any head-hair donor I have left for possible future needs. For a very reasonable price, my hairline was "fixed" in one day, using 1000 leg hair grafts. Here are some BEFORE pictures: Here is a video of my 2 year BHT result: http://youtube.com/watch?v=n_8uYbMTa4I Needless to say, I'm a very happy camper. If anyone would like to see my result first hand, I live in LA. Feel free to ask any questions. Ciao.

Senior Member wylie Posted June 26, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2008 It looks great. Adding 1000 hairs to the hairline is an easy job in comparision to some of the horror stories I've seen posted here lately being repaired. Its good that subtle jobs like these shows such excellent results but your hair never really looked that bad before. Afterwards, the results are outstanding and your hair really looks good, you got off easy if you started in 1992, your hair loss must have been minor since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sofarsogood Posted June 27, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hi Wylie, Thanks for the kind words. I do feel very lucky. My first of 16 strips (minis, micros and FUs over the years) was in 1992. The last one being in 2004. I stupidly bought in to the notion of using strip to "keep up with my hairloss". Some of those strips we only made up of 200 grafts. Although it mostly worked out for me, I wouldn't recommend this path today. Happily, Dr. Umar could fill in my strip scars with beard hair if I decide to cut my hair short. Buzz cuts are not an option for me at this time. FYI, along with all the procedures I've had over the years, I've been on procecia and minox since 1992. Back then, my father's doctor turned him on to Proscar (cut in quarters) for hairloss. My father, being a NW6, passed the Proscar on to me. Not so sure my hairloss has been "minor" since then but it's hard to say between the meds and HT procedures. Ciao.
