Senior Member greatjob Posted September 23, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2013 So I'm somewhere around 9 months post-op now, to be honest I've kind of been slacking on my documentation, but I thought I would post a pic that was at about 8 months post op. I am super happy with the work, now I'm just trying to figure out how I can scrape up the money for another round to get me closer to my final goals.

Senior Member Nick153452 Posted September 23, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2013 Congrats man! You have a solid frontal region now. I am not really seeing a significant difference between month 6 and 9 though. But your 6 month results were very good.

Senior Member greatjob Posted September 23, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thanks guys!! Yeah I can't say I've seen huge gains after 6 months, but I think I was also an early grower. I can say that when I feel around with my hands I feel some spikes which could just be hair cycling or growth, who knows. I am really happy with the results, I don't think I could have asked for more in my case. I really hope to max out my donor in the future, but I'm just going to have to figure out the money situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Nick153452 Posted September 23, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2013 Money is always an issue, unfortunately. Hopefully, Dr. Mwamba will have promising results in the coming year or two to where Donor isn't an issue. and you can undergo 50000 graft FUE sessions without thinning donor. That was, when you win the lottery, you will be able to get back up to native density.

I really think Dr. Cotsarelis and Follica are going to come out of nowhere in the next few years with a treatment that will be a working cure. I mean basically every single future treatment/cure currently in trials or under study is based off of his research, so I would put my money on him and Follica cracking the code before anyone else.

Senior Member greatjob Posted September 24, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hey op can you please take a pic of your hairline? Took a couple of shots today of the hairline. No product, out of the shower with dry hair. I cut it down short a little while ago to let it grow out and find the sweet spot. I'm going to let it grow out and then go get a good hair cut. I included a pre-op shot for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member KO Posted September 25, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 25, 2013 Have you experimented with shorter cuts or concealer? You may not even need a second surgery.

Senior Member greatjob Posted September 25, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 25, 2013 Have you experimented with shorter cuts or concealer? You may not even need a second surgery. Looks great really. I have used concealers for about 3 years or so and I hate them. Right now I still use them a little on the back half of my head. I did cut my whole head down to about a 6 guard to try and find the best length and it looked worse shorter. I'm letting it grow out and the I'm going to go to a really good stylist and let them use every trick they have to make my hair look as thick as possible. The work Dr. Rahal did is perfect and if I had close to that density on my whole head I would be set forever. The problem is the pics I have posted don't really show the reality of my hair behind the transplanted area. It's pretty thin. I knew I was going to want to get in the chair again, now I just have to figure out how to pay for it, lol. Oh and thanks for the compliment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
