Senior Member Garageland Posted March 10, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 10, 2014 Well here we are at the 5 month mark. Any changes? Feeling is returning slowly but surely to the back of my scalp above the scar, scar has healed very well, small amount of shock loss around the temple ares on the left hand side has grown back. Growth is kicking in very well and I have posted some nice close ups to demonstrate that. I also can feel lots of stubble still in the frontal area so more improvement is to come. Pics were taken today as it is bright and sunny in the same location as all the other sets of photos. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member Garageland Posted May 12, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 12, 2014 So we have reached the 7 month stage and the hairline and front continues to get thicker. I can still feel a little bit of stubble coming through and some of the new hairs are still quite short and wispy. I will try some new hair styles once I get to the full one year mark but for now my hair seems to naturally want to fall over to this side despite wearing it back for many years. Everything has now has recovered in terms of the scar healing and the feeling at the back of my head above the scar has returned fully. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member Dutch Posted May 14, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2014 Looking good David, now the fun starts. At this early stage the hair is still wavy & wispy I found but very early days. How long is this SMP meant to last before a top up is required do you think? http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Garageland Posted May 20, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2014 Thanks for all your positive comments I think I have finally found my sweet spot in terms of length it is now just a case of finding a barber that can cut it to that each time. Dutch as for the SMP it varies from person to person in my case I think a touch up at the year mark would be necessary. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member Garageland Posted July 22, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2014 Better late than never here is my 9 month photos from my latest hair transplant with Dr Hasson for 1755 grafts to the frontal half of my scalp. The difference is clear to myself as I look in the mirror and I am very glad that I took Dr Hasson's advice to deal with the front rather than the crown. In terms of healing my scalp after five FUT sessions feels normal again and I am still able to cut my hair to a reasonable length. I could never go down to a grade 3 or 4 because of my previous scars but I am happy with the length I can wear it at the back and sides. There still remains a sweet spot in terms of length of the top and it seems better to wear it shorter than I used to as the density is better at the front I don't need the length to make it look fuller. Also where the crown is thinner it is easier to keep it shorter and it lays flatter on my scalp. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member Garageland Posted July 22, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2014 I have had several comments about how helpful it is to see photos month by month from the same angle next to each other so it is easy to compare the progress month on month so I made these 3 photos so it would be even easier to compare. It demonstrates how taking consistent photos under the same lighting, same room and conditions is the best way to clearly document your progress. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member chrisdav Posted July 22, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2014 Awesome Garageland. You might have started a new trend - I like how they are presented. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK.

Senior Member Garageland Posted November 24, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hey FUE2014, And there was me thinking that nobody cared anymore! TBH I didn't want to keep on posting up pictures that showed very little difference and boring everyone. Not much has changed since the 9 months I think it is subtle maturing of the hair. I seem to get quite early growth. The overall improvement has been noticeable and many guys who have seen me in person over the years have commented to that effect. I got a new camera recently so will try some photos when I am in Dublin at the weekend. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member Garageland Posted November 25, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2014 Cueball, Thanks I am meeting with some local previous patients and hoping to have a pint with them. Janna- I would like it more if it was still visible! I honestly thought it was amazing for the first 4 months but it dropped out and was barely visible around 6-7 months. I might consider doing it again as it did make a really nice improvement in my crown for a while. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member Janna Posted November 25, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2014 Did you do the one pass over two days or did you do the follow-up (touch-up) 6 weeks later?
