Senior Member joeyz400 Posted April 4, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) It is hard to tell what is native hair growing back and what is new but I think I see progress. My head feels back to normal if you guys know what I mean, no weird sensations or tightness. So here are some progress pictures and the last 6 are my 4 month pictures taken today.

Senior Member ShiningDome Posted April 4, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2011 It definitely looks like you have way more coverage when compared to your pre-op pictures. At only 4 months, this is great! My Hair Restoration Site My Photo Albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member corvettester Posted April 5, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Hey dude, you're looking fine for just four months. You have a lot more growing to do. From what I gather, it's the 8 month mark when you really start to see the difference. Two questions though: Why did you decide to go with only 2,500 grafts? That doesn't seem like anywhere near enough. Do you have only limited donor supply? Btw, Dr. Dorin did my HT too. I'm coming up on my 6 month update in just two weeks. I'll be sure to post an update. If it's any encouragement, check out my 4 month update. Good Luck!

Senior Member joeyz400 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 5, 2011 Yeah, that was all he could safely get, my donor supply is low. I followed you, seeing you had your work done by Dr. Dorin, looking good kid. I know we are in good hands for sure. I am confident I will get a good result with the limited # of graphs I got. 2,542 strip with Dr. Dorin on December 8, 2010. 1286 Singles. 1176 Doubles. 80 Triples. 3878 hairs.

Senior Member corvettester Posted April 5, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm confident you'll get a great result too. It's going to start getting really interesting over the next two months. If you've been following the Results by Leading HT Clinics section lately, you'll see that T&D has been posting some very impressive results lately with a very small number of grafts. I don't know how they do it, but I'm not the only one to notice. I mean, it's kind of shocking actually. I'm so used to seeing NW3s getting 2,500-3,500 mega-sessions to get amazing results. Then comes along True & Dorin with a mere 1,500 graft session and an abracadabra result! I think it's kind of interesting how all the leading coalition docs all have "that one thing" that sets them apart from each other. They're all great at many things, no doubt, but they all have one special claim to fame. I think that T&D are the docs that, among other qualities, are best capable of doing a whole lot with very little. Be patient and stay positive... and let me know if you need anything.

Senior Member hairthere Posted April 5, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 5, 2011 You would be surprised at the amount of coverage you will get from all those double grafts. At this point changes will be very gradual, and then around 8 months it will be much more evident. But it will continue to progress and mature even after 12 months. I usually find just the overall quality of my hair gets better, and stronger 1 year post-op. You might eventually want to go for a second procedure for more density or perhaps to do more crown work.

Senior Member joeyz400 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 5, 2011 I noticed the same, that Dr. Dorin gets great results with minimal # of graphs. Not taking anything away from any other doctors here but there are some results I see from Dr. Dorin that are better than other Doctors doing double the amount of graphs. Maybe there is a better survival rate of graphs which would make the difference. Either way I am very happy I went to a doc with "that one thing" of doing excellent work with minimal # of graphs, being that I am limited. I am amped about the months to come!!!! 2,542 strip with Dr. Dorin on December 8, 2010. 1286 Singles. 1176 Doubles. 80 Triples. 3878 hairs.
