2,000 grafts with Dr. Paul Shapiro

Didn't recognize your hairline at first with your long hair. I personally think your hair may be a bit too fine to sport such long hair?

 

Yeah, you may be right about that. I do have some slight difficulty styling it and getting the hair to lie down naturally. I have gotten mixed responses from friends and family as well. So it may just be a matter of time before I chop it again. I may keep it long until the revision - we'll see.

 

To me it looks like your left side has receded further back than right side.

 

Actually, in these pictures you are right. But take a look at my facebook photos (which you have access to), and the pictures from sister's recent wedding make it look like the top right corner has receded more. But it could be due more to styling than actual recession.

 

What time of the year are you wanting to do the scar revision?

 

I'm thinking my spring break. So mid-March. I'll call in to schedule early January.

 

Thanks again for being awesome Janna! ;)

I'm gonna leave this right here so you remember where you came from.

 

Good luck on your upcoming revision. I sucks to get split open but it is part of the greater plan.

LOL.....you have come a long way. March/April - that's perfect. We'll roll out the red carpet for ya :D. Actually, the dermmatch you have in the crown got me thinking that it might be a good opportunity when you come in March to have temp smp application to the crown area. You'd just need to stay overnight. Think about it.

Thanks Plunge. Yah, the difference between now and that photo (around spring 2006) is striking.

Okay Aaron

I've waited to post because I've been trying to figure out if I like the long hair. I really think your hair looks great spiked and short with the messed up look.

Having said that....I really have started to like the long hair as well. Isn't it nice to have these options available!!! Your hair really looks good man. You should be proud!

Newhairplease!!

Thanks gentlemen.

 

@Cant Decide. Appreciate the comment!

 

@Davis91. Thanks! Sure, I'll get around to putting up a clear, concealer free crown pic soon. No problem.

 

@SADbutTrue. Actually no, I did have my hair down to my chin when I was about 20 - right before I started to lose it. But this is the longest I've had it since then.

 

@NHP. Thanks for thinking it over! ;) Yes, it is nice to have options. I am definitely of two minds regarding the style, but I'm getting more used to it. I liked the faux hawk style too, but sometimes I thought it made me look too much like a kid.
