Senior Member orlhair1 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks Hariri and Sean. Sean, thanks for the insight......I was always skeptical of the concept tha you would see improvement after 7 months when your growth starts early like yours and mine did. But I definitely agree that I continue to see improvement. Looking forward to seeing your updates!

Senior Member orlhair1 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 7, 2012 Well, I am just a week short of 10 months since my surgery. Thrilled with the results. My scar is almost undetectable. I can't even find it, but Dr. Ron was able to locate it after looking around when I went to see him in Feb. for a check up. I have buzzed my hair down really short (equal to a 2) and not any sign of having a HT. I get a lot of compliments on my hair and people ask what I am doing to look so young for my age. I took a few photos this morning and have posted them here. You can see my complete photo documentation from the beginning by clicking on my link below the photos. I am planning on going back for more (yes, hair greed has set in). I am planning an FUE of 1500 grafts to fill in the corners some and thicken up one or two spots. Not necessary for sure, but something I want to do because round one was such a success. I am going FUE because I have an undetectable scar, so why risk it? I have been very impressed with the FUE work coming out of SMG. I will either have the second surgery in June or July depending on Dr. Ron's schedule.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted April 8, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted April 8, 2012 Looking great there orlhair! I think it's great you're going for a second round the summer. Very exciting stuff! I personally would go for another strip - especially since it worked out so well for you first time around. You can always go for more FUE after you've stripped out. But I understand if you want to be careful with the scar. Either way, you are in great hands!

Senior Member Sean Posted April 13, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted April 13, 2012 Orlhair, lookin good. I can understand you don't want to take any chances with another strip scar especially since the one you have is perfect. You can't even tell a thing. I can't wait to see your updates and your next FUE procedure. You really do look great and I enjoy seeing your updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
