Senior Member mattj Posted June 24, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 24, 2013 So month 4 has arrived! The growth which has occured since last month is obvious. In fact the difference between now and 2 weeks ago is clear to me when I look up close. As you can imagine, I’m paying close attention. I chose to have the photos taken without any styling products – I wanted them completely natural. But my hair is now very stylable. More stylable than it has been in many years. I went to a new barber and he had no idea I’d had anything done, although I did tell him and he had many questions. I normally decline styling products at the barbers as I’m going to wash my hair as soon as I get home, but I decided to let him put a little product in and, well, it was extremely satisfying to have a hairline that I can do something with. For close to a decade now I had given up on trying to achieve a proper style with it, as my hairline was too receded and thin to allow for it and products always made it look worse. I had forgotten what it was like to be able to quickly and easily make it look good. Now I’ve already forgotten what it was like to be receding! I had these taken last week but delayed posting due to illness. I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal.

Look at this result: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171004-dr-reddy-fue-restoration-frontal-crown-area-norwood-4-2437-grafts.html No one can make an accurate assessment of your level of loss, hair characteristics, or graft needs when you are shaved down unless you are in person and under magnification and even then it is questionable. You should be happy that they didn't feed you a line of bs and instead gave you an honest assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mattj Posted July 24, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2013 Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I had a few personal things to work through and I had to take a temporary step back. Life takes its toll, eh? It wasn't pleasant but I'm glad to be back. My hair? It's looking great and month 6 is nearly upon us, so expect photos soon! Since I last posted, the number of people I've told about my procedure has increased even further and the number of "wow!'s" and "I would never have known!'s" have become impossible to count.

Senior Member mattj Posted July 24, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2013 Thanks for the warm welcome back! I'll get my 6 month shoot done next week as that's the mark. I badly need a haircut, but as you're understandably eager I'll see what I can do tomorrow in the way of a snapshot. Yeah, I would say the biggest changes occured between month 3 and 4. This is understandable as previously bald areas very quickly gained hair. There has continued to be improvement since then, but it's more subtle and not as strikingly obvious. I would say my growth probably kicked off sooner than average, possibly due to a fast metabolism. Once I have my month 6 set done you should see that my hair has improved since the last update.
