Senior Member scooter Posted November 11, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2014 Looks great, Scooter. Really thickening up now and getting longer. You are the second poster I have recently run across who had a procedure 5-10 years ago, yet there wasn't much evidence you had a procedure before your ht#2. Do you have any thoughts on why you did not retain many of your grafts/hairs from your 2007 procedure? I am just wondering if we should all be thinking about maintenance in a different way to ensure we retain our grafts and keep on growing. Also I got off my fin and was losing more hair , so I got back on it and it's paying off for me now 1st HT 1973 FUT's with Dr.Robert Mcclellan 6/28/2007 *unfortunately I have no info on hair count on my 1st surgery .. 2nd HT 3026 FUT's with Dr. Bernadino Arocha 1/9/2014 1's - 797 2's - 3700 3's - 246 5634 hairs http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/attachment.php?attachmentid=54945&d=1389315686 3026 FUTs 1 day HT#2 post op frontal picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hadenough2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hadenough, thanks for your reply. When I had my HT in 2007, it was a very small amt of grafts for the area. I probably would have been better off with about 3500 forbthe area. Also this was before I knew much about this type of surgery so we wanted to be safe and start small and see if another procedure was something worth pursuing. I was happy enough using concealers until last year I decided I wanted to add more and with a top Doctor. That's when I found Dr.Arocha and couldn't be more pleased with my results. Take care, Scott Thanks for the responses, Scott. That makes sense and seems to be a fairly common problem for some transplants even as recent as your first one - not enough grafts for the area trying to cover. It is also good to hear that you feel fin has really helped you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel younger and starting to get lots of compliments from my friends and family. In the pics, I do not use concealers and only use them on my crown as it still has some thinning but is also improving.

Senior Member scooter Posted November 17, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hi Scooter, how are you making out? Now that you are so far along, are you glad you did it? Hi tercex, I am very happy with my results. Starting at 4 months post op I have seen such a change. I can now style my hair the way I always wanted to. My confidence has skyrocketed. Getting compliments all the time now. I have absolutely no regrets. I owe it all to Dr.Arocha and his team , they are brilliant and really took care of me. So I am very happy I did it and would recommend a hair restoration with Dr.Arocha to anyone I know who wants to restore their hair !! I would do it again in a heartbeat , and I just might have 1 more in the future for the crown.
