Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted June 26, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2015 We will understand now that you are well on your way to a completely different space in time that you'd ignore the board and move on with your life like so many others have...ha I'm a lifer! Wow, the hairline is looking real good. I must admit, I was initially skeptical of the hairline in the post-op pics. Good stuff!!! Thanks mav! So far this is shaping up to be the hairline I've wished for since my mid twenties. David, looking like your making good head way no punt intended...lol Also your Donor looks like it havent been touched which is crazy good after 3 Hts. Im well happy for you. Thanks ontop! I was surprised at how good the donor looks too. The real test will be when I get it cut. I used to be able to buzz to a #3 with only the slightest hint of the scar. With a #4 it was totally concealed. I'm curious to see if that's changed. David - Former Forum Co-Moderator and Editorial Assistant I am not a medical professional.

Senior Member ontop Posted June 26, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2015 David.. I think #4 will be spot on & it looks your donor hair is past the #4 Maybe I'm wrong. How does it feel to you? I mean when you rub your palm of hand through it? Does it feel any different from your last HT? Maybe also you starting back on Fin all be it small dose that may also give your donor a boost which people forget about. Anyways...things are looking good for you now & that crown is making some good progress given the short time as you well know the crown lags maybe its the blood supply. You can always stand on your head 1 hr a night to give it a boost LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member thatoldchestnut Posted June 26, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2015 Have to echo everyone else's sentiments in wishing you good luck and agree that the hairline really does suit you! I think you and Dr. Bhatti made a good call there. Exciting times ahead, all the best David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted June 26, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks to all who commented. I really am quite excited and have to give props to Dr. Bhatti. As I've said before, I ultimately decided to go with him because I felt that he understood my goals and knew right away how to make them happen within the confines of my remaining donor supply and existing hair. Even given the fact that we were almost 600 grafts shy of the initial goal of 3,000, I'm confident that I'm going to be pleased with the outcome.

I am fully convinced there is really no objective best this or best that, only what's best for you. You find that, you win. Couldn't agree more vox! When I first announced that I'd be going with Dr. Bhatti I got several responses asking "why not Dr. x, y or z?" You can have multiple procedures but you can only choose one doc for each. There were may ways I could have grove but, first and foremost, I had confidence in Dr. Bhatti to deliver the goods and second, we clicked on a personal level. I always say that there is no "best" hair transplant surgeon. The one that's right for me may not be right for someone else. Ultimately, it's not the procedure, tools or protocol the physician uses but whether or not he or she can deliver the results that make you happy. I've still got many months to go so I can't yet say for certain how my final result with be but I'm off to a great start in my opinion and I hope that my documentation will assist anyone else considering Dr. Bhatti in the future.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted June 30, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 30, 2015 Decided to color my hair a couple of days ago and wanted to share. I used a medium ash brown. I sometimes use light ash brown but it fades pretty quickly anyway so decided to use the darker color this time. I'll be getting a haircut later in the week but I think it's looking pretty good at the moment considering I made no effort to style it. It's just towel-dreid and brushed. The only product in my hair is Rogaine Foam. The only thing I can complain about at this point is the acne scarring that I've endured since 2009. I'm still suffering bouts of severe acne despite visits to multiple dermatologists and trying a variety of medications. It seems to have got a bit worse since restarting finasteride. If I can ever get it under control, I'd like to try laser treatment to reduce the appearance of the scars. If anyone has any advice about acne or scarring, I'm all ears.

Other than that look into your diet, some foods may trigger this breakout your getting but myself think for me it was first taking Meds. Thanks ontop! I've put a lot of thought into what could be causing the acne other than finasteride. Prior to 2009 I was spot free for more than a decade. Soon after starting fin I started to get them again and it's been a hard battle ever since. I have considered my diet. Can't think of anything that may have changed around that time but I have noticed that stress seems to impact it. I talked to my last doc about Accutane but didn't pass the test for it. Also, it has some pretty scary side effects and can cause thinning of the hair to boot. I'll probably try yet another dermatologist and see if they can do anything for me. Anyone h ave experience with laser treatment on acne scars? David - Former Forum Co-Moderator and Editorial Assistant I am not a medical professional.
