Senior Member voxman Posted June 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 19, 2015 It appears all is going swimmingly! Did you buy a convertible, because once you hair grows out you want it flowing in the wind on the highways! I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Senior Member California Posted June 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2015 First off I want to sincerely apologize to anyone who messaged me or asked me any questions via a thread. I've probably logged in 2 or 3 times since my 2 month update. My general interest in this site has waned since the procedure - but that's a good thing. I see a lot has happened on here in a month - Goodbye BUSA, FUT VS FUE thread with Dr. Feller, etc. I took these pictures myself, the quality of the photos should be better than my other updates, I finally have a respectable phone with a great camera. It's been a championship month for me. Besides the steady growth of my transplant I turned 21 and bought myslef a luxury car for my birthday New hairs continue to sprout up all the time and as you can see in the pictures the hair has taken a definitive shape and now will begin to thicken. The pictures really do all the talking so I'll leave it at that! Hi BaldingInReverse, Thanks for sharing your HT progress. The picture quality looks good! Congratulations on buying your luxury car at the age of 21! Very impressive. New hair....new car.....sounds awesome:) Please keep sharing your HT progress.

Senior Member Tav1 Posted June 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2015 You are an extremely fast grower for certain. Keep us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted June 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2015 Some really nice early growth coming in! you so did the right thing getting a Ht its going to frame your face so well when it grows in. I like being bald aged 20 - said nobody ever anywhere ! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BaldingInReverse Posted June 24, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks for all of your support guys. @Voxman - no it's not a convertible I went with an Infiniti Q45, gotta keep it classy haha. @Johnboy71 - yeah, tell me about it. It friggin' SUCKED!!! @ California & @ Tav1 - thanks for your support! Thought I'd upload this collage of sorts to help give you guys a true, blue accurate idea of where I stand at this point. Pictures 1,2: Pre-op (yeah, I know - I was THAT BALD at 20) / Picture 3: Immediate Post-op / Picture 4: One month exactly / Picture 5: Two months exactly / Picture 6: 3 months plus 3 days. I myself am blown away by this time line and really think it illustrates how far I've come. When my friends see me hat-less they all comment on how much I've thinned out. That's because they haven't seen me without headgear since I was 18. No exaggeration. The fact that it's thin doesn't matter to me at this point. The fact that it's even there coupled with the knowledge that it will grow does matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sparky Posted June 24, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 24, 2015 Good write up, looking forward to seeing updates. Spraying saline all night every 20 mins sounds a bit much.

Regular Member BaldingInReverse Posted July 22, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hope everyone is enjoying there summer. I know I certainly am. Anyway, thought I'd give an update so here it is, my belated 4 month post-op photos. I didn't want to give a skewed view of my progress, so I took these pictures myself under the harshest indoor lighting possible. You can clearly see the continued steady growth and it keeps getting better and better. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member cueball16 Posted July 22, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 22, 2015 Great progress so early. Still much growing to come hopefully. Will be interesting to see the density when it's all grown in. You must be so pleased so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member densedream Posted July 22, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2015 so far so good. Do you plan on addressing the other areas later? I couldn't imagine being that bald at only 20. Your youth just stripped away, I don't blame you for trying to get some hair even if many will say you are too young. I would have done the same. Life is a cruel mofo sometimes. Hope you keep the progress and restore some youthful hair for the rest of your 20's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member California Posted July 22, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hi BaldingInReverse, I think that your HT results look great at the 4 month mark. I am very happy and excited for you. Losing hair at such a young age can be devastating and I am glad that you are getting your lost "hair" glory back! Please keep the updates coming.

Regular Member BaldingInReverse Posted August 1, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 1, 2015 Guys, thank you for your kind words - it really does help. Everybody who has gone through this procedure has had moments of doubt, they're lying if they tell you otherwise. I'm no exception. There have been times I questioned this whole crazy thing. One month passes... then two... then three. You look in the mirror inspecting your scalp for micro-hairs popping through. Is it getting better? Is the procedure a failure? You live life day-by-day but you'll go insane if you treat your hair transplant as a day-by-day operation. It's more like a month-by-month type of thing. Once it's done and you're 2 weeks post-op you're better off just forgetting the whole thing until at least Month 6. @densedream Yeah, life can be a nasty SOB but I really do have high aspirations for this procedure. I could care less what the internet MDs have to say about my age. I visited several surgeons recommended on this site and they all told me the same thing; I'm a great candidate for a hair transplant. That being said, I do have to address the crown within the next couple of years. I'm thinking one more procedure of about 1500-2000 grafts.

Regular Member BaldingInReverse Posted August 23, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Here we are. Crossed the 5 month threshold. The days have dripped into weeks which have matured into months. Countless hours staring into a mirror, countless nights hiding under a hat. All the uncertainty and doubt that has plagued my conscience for so long. All of the despair begets the sole question; am I satisfied with my procedure thus far?.......ummmmmm hell yeah! These 8 pics show 4 angles at 2 different hair lengths. The 4 untrimmed pics show my hair growing on its own, untouched for about 2 weeks. The other 4 show me right after buzzing down to a #3. The difference is minimal but I thought it would be fun to illustrate how the hair doesn't really grow in cohesion yet. I'm still in the growing process. Not much else to say guys, feel free to share your thoughts and enjoy the waning days left in the summer!!! @sydthekid yup, still stickin' strong to Dr. Bhatti's recipe of the daily pills.
