Senior Member Salt-N-Peppa Posted May 14, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yo Bushy- how long is the length of hair on the top and on the sides??? Also, how long did it take to get appreciable "crown" growth post HT? Trying to gauge what an ideal length of hair might be,and why my crown is coming in painfully slow. Thanks bro- looks really good!!

Senior Member Bushy Posted May 14, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2007 Nobuzz: Thanks! S&P: Technically, I didn't have "crown" work, because the second surgery covered the middle top third (went up to the beginning of the crown). I think the HT2 (middle) growth was about as quick as the HT1 growth (front). Right now my sides and front third are about 2 inches, but the middle-top (HT2) is only about 1 inch, which leaves me with an imbalanced profile. As soon as it all fills in and evens out (I suppose another few months) it should look even better. In your situation, the crown itself is notoriously slow. And, of course, some people grow more slowly in general. Jobi: Look at the top shot: I had no hair in the middle third of my scalp before HT2. Also, I think the new hairline is more refined. In HT1 Dr. Hasson used a jagged approach. Given the quality of my hair (dark, course), I asked Dr. Hasson to make it less jagged this time. I think it was the right choice. Hairbank: Thanks, bud. It's really amazing, even to me. In going through all my old photos even I could hardly believe how far I've come. The industry has made humongous strides in the last few years. Despite the torture of wearing a hairpiece for so many years, I'm glad I waited. Pat: Thanks! How do I attach a sound clip? ____________________________________ My blog.

Senior Member Bushy Posted November 24, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hi, everyone. It is now 18 months since my second hair transplant with Dr. Hasson. I am now probably 100% grown out. My blog is updated, and I'm posting some nice, full-sized shots here. This is probably my final picture update, and I'm eager to hear your reactions. Here are pictures with flash: Without flash, it all looks more dense: And here is a fun pic I recently took, right out of the shower: What do you think? ____________________________________ My blog.

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted November 24, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2007 Bushy, You certainly have come a long way. Your results are some of the most impressive. I appreciate the effort you have made to provide several angles and even styles. It is nice to know that with the right conditions and in the hands of a gifted surgeon not only can we get our hair back but the possibility of actually having the ability to style things. It has to be almost lifechanging for you? Everyone of us is likely jealous of the mop of hair you now have. I'm happy for you. Thanks for all your posts to give us all an array of hope.

These last few days of "thanks giving" have made me reminisce a bit. I recall the years of fair loss, followed by hairpiece-hell. It was this site which saved my butt from Bosley the morning of my scheduled surgery with them. And the camaraderie and wisdom of so many posters helped guide me to where I am now. It's nice to have hair back, and to be able to style it is a real treat. I'm just learning, too. Here is a new set of combs I just bought: It's gonna take me months to master these. Thanks for your kind words and sentiments, NN. ____________________________________ My blog.

Bill - Seemiller Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Bushy, It's nice to see you back on our forum community. I hope you'll stick around for awhile. You have always been one to post photos from various angles and lighting so other members and guests could see the reality of your result. All that to say, your18 month results look fantastic my friend and hold up very well in varying angles, styles, and lighting. So what in the world are all of those combs for? Are you starting your own styling salon? Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Bushy Posted November 24, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2007 Glock, thanks! Thrilled is certainly an applicable term here. Mike, that is some compliment. H&W's way with hairlines is one of the main reason I chose them. Bill, this is where my journey all started. Even when I take some long breaks, I'm always part of the family. Uncle Bushy ain't goin' anywhere. As for starting my own salon, check out my medicine cabinet: Between that and the combs, I can start up a side-business, don't you think? Jason, I'm not sure . . . but if you come over we can test them out and see. ____________________________________ My blog.

Senior Member Bushy Posted July 25, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi, everyone. I've just updated my blog with my two-year (final?) pics. Your feedback is, as always, appreciated. Here are some of my favorites: I can hardly enumerate the number of ways in which my HT's have changed my life. The journey all began here, on the Hair Transplant Network, one hour before my scheduled Bosley surgery. I owe you big time, Pat. ____________________________________ My blog.
