Senior Member hairthere Posted May 9, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Well, I'm 15 months post op having my temple points and forelock done. The hair took forever this time to mature but it is finally manageable. I've also been letting my hair grow out a bit longer. The last two profile pics are from a few months before the procedure. The last two shots will give an idea of how far I have come.

Senior Member irishsailor Posted May 9, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hair there, very nice result fella. Glad the temple peaks have calmed down and more manageable now. Was watching with interest on this case as I've been looking at getting my temple peaks addressed but have pretty coarse hair so still undecided.

Senior Member hairthere Posted May 9, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2013 Irish, Thanks! Yes, I have very coarse hair as well. I think so long as the grafts are angled properly it looks pretty natural. It really makes a huge difference, imo, in terms of framing the face and making the rest of the HT look more complete.

Senior Member hairthere Posted May 9, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2013 @Spanker: Thanks! Yep, it has been a constant chase for me. I am at the point now though where it's nearly 100% HT, so I can finally stop worrying. At this point I think I have one strip left in the bank, and then some FUE. In a few years I will do one more to fill in some thinner spots in the midsection and crown and maybe a little more temple tweaking. @Matt: High compliments indeed. I am no Superman, but I do think my hair looks pretty super!

Senior Member NoTakeBacks Posted September 11, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2013 Nice! I wonder how I missed this one. Really do like the temple/points and hairline! Good wavy characteristics too, amazing transformation based off that top right photo. I have to get back to Dr. Feller for my 6 month follow up to start creating a battle plan, and seeing your results gave me some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted September 12, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2013 @Mickey, Thanks bro! @NTB: It' always good to gameplan with your doc. Unfortunately for me I started from a bad place and had to do a lot of patchwork along the way. Had I gone to Dr. Feller from the beginning my course of surgery would have been much different. I'm certainly lucky to have the head of hair I do now all things considered.

Senior Member irishsailor Posted September 12, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hairthere, I've always said when you look at where you where to start, you got an amazing overall result man. And you took the gamble of not taking meds and just seeing where Ud end up and now you know you will never be bald.

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted September 13, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2013 That's quite a journey mate! Looks great now pal but are you getting itchy feet for more? I'm starting to think lets throw another 4000 into mine so that my hair doesn't have to be styled perfect to show flawless result but not massively fussed about it. How many grafts in total are you now? Bonkerstonker! http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1977 Update I'm now on 12200 Grafts, hair loss has been a thing of my past for years. Also I don't use minoxidil anymore I lost no hair coming off it. Reduced propecia to 1mg every other day. My surgeons were Dr Hasson x 4, Dr Wong x 2 Norton x1 I started losing my hair at 19 in 1999 I started using propecia and minoxidil in 2000 Had 7 hair transplants over 12200 grafts by way of strip but 700 were Fue From Norton in uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted September 14, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2013 Thanks Bonker. Yes, ideally I think one more HT would finish me off. I'm not sure how much I have left in the tank but I'd guess between 1500-2000 strip and maybe a few more FUE. The problem for me is that I have that first strip scar from Karamikian which is now getting closer to Dr. Feller's scar. So that could be problematic. I'd love to get them combined into one scar but I don't know if that's possible. In the interim I am opening my own temporary SMP practice, so once I get a few trained staff members I can just cover up any thinning areas. How many grafts in total are you now? I've had roughly 7k grafts at this point.

Regular Member krazyXplorer Posted September 14, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 14, 2013 You got really nice hairline. If you have body hair you can use it to cover-up scar instead of SMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted September 14, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2013 Thanks Krazy. My scar doesn't really concern me much because I wear my hair long enough that it's not visible. I would use the SMP for my crown and a thinning area beyond the hairline.

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted September 16, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 16, 2013 I think I'm on about 8460 grafts now including fue but the back of my head is still very baggy and Dr H hasn't even started on my baggy part yet that will pull up to my scar he said I have over 7000 when he did my last op but I bet it's more to be honest. Always used to upset me as a kid when my head was so baggy at back as you can visually see it now I thank god lol. Interestingly I think the reason why my head is so baggy is because I've been boxing since 7 so my weight goes up and down very fast during peak of my career I was losing 3 stone in 6 weeks to make weight for fight I feel that because of this my skin has stretched.
