Senior Member Capelli11 Posted September 8, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hey...it is that time yet again to update everyone! I am now 9 months out and my hair is great! I have seen it lately really maturing as it is easier to style. To make it easier to style lately, I have been getting a #5 (5/8ths per the clipper attachment) on my whole head. It looks really good at this length as I like it nice and short and thankfully it hides the scar nicely! I had some requests last time to take some distance pics...so I tried to take some distance pics (basically as far away as I could hold my camera!) so you can see what it looks from a little further way vs. just the close ups. I still crack up when people tell me I look a lot younger than I am and I always say that it helps out that I still have all of my hair...little do they know the crazy HT journey I was on for the last 9 mths!!! LOL As always, I am here to answer and/or help out anyone looking to have this life changing procedure! I will be seeing Dr. Rahal in NYC on October 15th...so if anyone wants to perhaps meet after work to talk I am cool with that. I always say that it is best to meet with people face to face to see their HT...pictures are great but there is nothing better than seeing it in person. That is a big factor in my analysis too when I was making my HT decision! -HT with Dr. Rahal- December 2011- 4,616 grafts FUT Check out my website updates: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2225 My HT write up: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164084-my-hair-transplant-dr-rahal-4-600-fut-write-up-pics.html My FOXBAR write up: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164085-my-foxbar-write-up-dr-rahal-4-600-fut.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hairthere Posted September 10, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2012 Cap, you should put up a side-by-side comparison of months 7, 8, and 9. I think it will drive the point home to a lot of patients that are freaking out in the early stages of growth.

Senior Member Capelli11 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 I will...i want to really start doing some nice comparison shots to really see how far I came...I was looking at old pics of my hair and i can't believe how bad my hairline was. I always had toppik in it so it was hard to find pics without it but i found some earlier ones and what a difference! -HT with Dr. Rahal- December 2011- 4,616 grafts FUT Check out my website updates: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2225 My HT write up: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164084-my-hair-transplant-dr-rahal-4-600-fut-write-up-pics.html My FOXBAR write up: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164085-my-foxbar-write-up-dr-rahal-4-600-fut.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member MIKIEB Posted October 14, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted October 14, 2012 hello capelli,your result thus far is awesome....can you tell me in your opinion from the 7 month mark to the 9month mark did any new hair apear or did it just thicking up ...thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Capelli11 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2012 I am sure new hair has sprouted up in that time but it is harder to tell. I think the big difference was the maturing of the hair...it was like brillo originally but now is calming down and maturing so I can style it easier now. Overall I love it...what a huge difference a hairline makes!!! -HT with Dr. Rahal- December 2011- 4,616 grafts FUT Check out my website updates: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2225 My HT write up: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164084-my-hair-transplant-dr-rahal-4-600-fut-write-up-pics.html My FOXBAR write up: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164085-my-foxbar-write-up-dr-rahal-4-600-fut.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted October 18, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2012 Cap, you will continue to see a big difference in terms of thickening and hair quality up to 12 months and beyond. I'm sure when you see guys freaking out at 4-5 months you must chuckle now, right? Anyone getting a Ht must really understand that it's a 12 month process.
