Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted June 14, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 14, 2016 Great to read this Mav! Surely you can just imagine how this pumps me up, as I've been right behind you -- currently 4 days shy of 4 months here... You should be pumped up Ernie, month 4.5 was my sweetspot when things started to happen and the transformation started. I think I am an early grower too, so don't panic if it's slower for you, but now is the fun part my friend, enjoy it. Congrats on exiting the ugly duckling phase.

Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted June 27, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2016 Ladies & Gentleman - drum drum ... Attached please find my 6 month post op pics. I couldn't be happier with the result as is, and if it stopped growing and maturing at this point, I would be happy, but I can see a lot of very fine wispy hairs that still need to mature to have an impact, so its still going to get better if that's even possible. As you can see, I have a miniaturized spot in the midsection and crown area, but do not want to get any further surgeries performed at this point in time 9beware beware of hair greed). It doesn't bother me as it is easily masked with Fil-In hair power or a few sprinkles of Toppik. I have been thinking about potentially going with PRP/ACELL to perhaps help with that area in the meantime. Will be looking into Dr Cooley for that, and if I decide to pull the trigger on that, I will target December. In terms of the post-op care from the Rahal clinic, the last communication I had from them was back in March when Kamila's replacement called for the 3 month check-in. I was expecting a call and/or e-mail them last week at the 6 month mark, but surprisingly nothing. No big deal, as the pre-op and post-op care really was outstanding, and they probably just set very high expectations. I did just e-mail the 6 months pics as attached to Larissa and to Kamila's old e-mail address, so will see what Dr Rahal has to say about my progress to date.

Well done by the Hairline King. I'm hoping for a similar result. Right behind you at 4 months 10 days. Same surgeon too. Congrats! Yes, it is dense up close and still getting denser by the week. It was see through until about a week ago, and I still see so many new hairs popping, so once those mature it is going to be very dense. I still give the hairline a spray or two of Toppik before I go out, but I think I'm at the point where that is now unnecessary. The doctor did such a good job.

Senior Member Stig Posted July 4, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted July 4, 2016 Damm - looking good Gunther, very good job by Dr Rahal. Looks like your scar didn't heal too great though, or is that shock loss on the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted July 8, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2016 Thanks Hairsgone, Stig and Chris. I am soooo happy and excited by the result, and it's still getting better by the week. I heard from Janice at the Rahal clinic 2 weeks ago and she told me that Dr Rahal had reviewed my pictures, and stated the following: "Dr. Rahal is back in the clinic, he had a look at your photos and is very pleased with your results! He said the areas treated are showing a nice, natural growth that is filling in nicely, creating a thicker, fuller look. He said in the coming 6 months, you will continue to see an increase in density." I am not sure how much better it can still be, but there are still a lot of very fine wispy hairs that still need to mature, so I have no doubt in my mind it's going to keep getting better. I am now at the stage where I no longer need to spray Toppik into the hairline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mav23100gunther Posted October 21, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2016 10 month update. I actually studied my hairline this evening, and all I can say is WOW. The maturing has really made a huge difference, and although the month over month difference has been negligible since month 7, I think it has really come into its own and there is a huge improvement if I look back at the 7 month pics. Although the cosmetic difference was the biggest from month 4 to 7, the maturing from 7 to 10 really does make a big cosmetic difference. Will post pics again at month 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
