Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted November 13, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 13, 2013 Your hair is looking good! At eight months post-op you should be seeing roughly 75% of your growth on average. You should still have some thickening to come.

Senior Member Spanker Posted November 13, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 13, 2013 How do you feel about it? Big growth jump from 5 months. I don't know how I feel about the temple points. hopefully them fill in a bit more, but over all, you have come a good distance.

Senior Member irishsailor Posted November 13, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 13, 2013 Most of us need a second procedure to thicken things up. Doesn't mean our first procedures were a failure. I think u have made good progress, but u may need a small second procedure to get you where u want to be.

Regular Member BlackAmish111 Posted November 14, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2013 I am also 7 months post from Dr Keene and also have issues with temple area. I went in only for hairline and while one side is filled preety well the other side (done by asst) needs a good amount of Toppik to hide the skin. I'm still holding out on a full review and pics but am wondering if hairline maybe just ain't her specialty.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Actonradar2012 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 20, 2013 This is actually my Third procedure, kinda bummed, dont think i will do another one, to expensive and the result on this one is not going as expected, id rather tattoo my head instead of using nanogen everyday...

Senior Member hairthere Posted November 20, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2013 I would suggest trying a different hairstyle. There is a sweet spot in terms of hair length that provides the best layering effect and coverage for a HT and yours is just a bit too long, imo. A shorter, messy look (with temple corners styled forward) I bet would work wonders. Remember, a HT rarely restores your actual density, so we're creating an illusion of fuller hair, and style has a lot to do with that. Find yourself a good stylist (this will cost a bit more than your average barber) and don't be shy about explaining your situation. Not sure where you live, but in the New York area we have plenty of high-end men-only barbershop/salons that see lots of HT work. I found one and she totally understood the best way to maximize the hair I had and style it so it looked hip. Best of luck and good growing to you!

Thanks!! i will try to stylize it different, il go to a stylist this weekend, i actually got a new haircut, which helps a bit to mask it, but what i keep thinking is that , the immediate post op photo looks so full of grafts, that as of right now, have not grown, i mean if i had to shave my head and it looked like the post op i would be very happy with the result Visit Here My Blog With my HT Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BlackAmish111 Posted November 29, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'd like to rescind my previous statement about Dr. Keene and hairlines -my other side seems to be coming in very well and I'm actually getting pretty happy about the result.
