Senior Member Clint69 Posted May 2, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hey Guys, Since today is my three month mark, I thought I would take some photos. I updated my two and three month markers. Month two was really rough as I look much more bald than when I started. At month three, I have a significant number of hairs that have broken the surface and it is starting to define a hairline. It appears that I will be an early grower. There is hair sprouting everywhere even though the photos are not picking it all up. I am looking forward to month four. I am optomistic at this point. Please let me know your thoughts.

Senior Member TC17 Posted May 2, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 2, 2009 Definite signs of growth so far buddy. How many grafts were placed in the hairline and how many in the crown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Clint69 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 2, 2009 TC - I believe that the break was approximately 2300 in the hairline and temples and the remaining 1740 in the crown. These are just close estimations. When Dr Rahal and I discussed the plan he asked what bothered me most about my hair. I told him it was first and foremost the temple recession and lack of framing of my face. We decided to concentrate more in the front and less in the back but understanding that a future procedure would eventually be needed. Although I expect to have a good result, my challenge is thin, straight hair probably average or slightly below in terms of fineness. None the less, I am getting excited knowing I am shifting to the growing phase. My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Abedogg Posted May 2, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 2, 2009 Lately I've seen a lot of Rahal's patients start growing early. Was there anything he suggested you do pre-ht? Are you on Rogain? thx, Abe Had 3k With Umar on Feb 16, 2009 My Hair Loss Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Clint, I just posted on your blog as well. It appears that there is still a bit of postoperative redness at 3 months. I actually had extended redness up to 5 months for my second procedure, but it eventually went away. I see some signs of growth. I expect the explosion of growth will start any day now :-) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Clint69 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 4, 2009 Abedogg - Yes, I am taking Rogaine. I used Rogain prior to my surgery but only once daily. I stopped prior to my surgery per Dr Rahal's instructions but resumed two weeks post HT. I am now using it twice daily. I am also using Nizoral 2% twice weekly. Hair hope - Thanks, I am looking forward to the next several months. Bill - Yes, I still have just a slight bit of post op redness. That being said, it seems that the pics make it look more red than it actually is. In person, it is much more difficult to see the redness. I am hoping for a nice growth explosion in month 4. Wantego - Yes,lol my hair does stand up naturally! As it gets longer, it should start to lay down. Thanks for the comments and encouragement guys.
