WOW! This is seriously inspirational! I seriously hope my results are even close to as good as yours. This is absolutely amazing. I'm sure you are thrilled :)

 

Your per-transplant loss photos look very similar to the loss i have (ok maybe you weren't as bad off as me) *CROSSES FINGERS

 

Hi Tav1 and MrBurns,

 

Thanks for the nice comments. Yes I'm quite happy, considering it's only been 6 months, 9 days since my 3185 FUT in the frontal third. I'm hoping for thickening up in the temples, and who knows, more new sprouts? But thickening up of existing new hairs seems more likely.

 

Even if it were to completely stop right now, I'd be satisfied.

 

Don't know about most of you, but I can be a bit lazy -- so here's a bunch all together (including some already posted pics): Here's a pre-op pic, a pre-op/immediate post-op pic, a BRUTAL 41 days post-op pic, and then a few pics from today.

 

Comments (good and bad), always welcome!...

Ernie,

looking good man.

I just notice on your profile, you state that you been on Fin since you was 24 wow, so that was sometime ago, I'm guessing it was proscar & not the genetic Fin they put you on at the time right?

Also you state that you could of ended up as a NW6 if it wasn't for the Meds so that has carried you over all these yrs & stabilized your hairloss in a big way.

what dosage have you been using? & Do you feel that its still effective or are you feeling the same way as spex like you may of lost a little ground?

 

Either way for a guy whos in what your 40s now? your hair looks great & lets not forget your just past the 6mth mark so it can only be a bonus if you produce more hair or even maturing transplanted folicals.

your Dr did a great job on you & you came a long way from the post op 2 & 3 months which I guess was the hardest mths for you.

 

Happy days...

Rawkerboi, thanks!

 

Ontop, I can understand you perfectly. :-)

 

To answer your questions, I've been on propecia (actual at first, generic once it was available) for about 17 years with no sides. It's always been the same dose, 1mg.

 

I would have been a NW6 based on this quasi-fact: my dad is a NW 6 and pictures of him growing up and pictures of myself are identical through the years. Genetically, we came out with all the same traits and mannerisms. So, "NW6" in quotes perhaps.

 

I too read Spex's post (the one where he was poolside with a #3 buzz) -- and it got me looking at my mid-scalp more than I used to, lol. ALSO, the focus has now been taken off of my hairline post-HT as well.

 

I'm experiencing a comeback from a midscalp area shed while trying out 3 different shampoos -- my head didn't like that and shocked out some hair.

 

So to summarize, I'm going to stick with finasteride but I'm paying VERY close attention to my midscalp, my crown, and I'm researching the pros/cons of dutasteride just in case (although I see myself going HT#2 before I see myself running around to get a dut script).

 

hope this helps.

 

PS - i have very fine hair and find that "letting it get dirty" helps with the thickness. Gross, maybe. Doesn't stink or look greasy though. So I shampoo with Nizoral 2x per week --> starting this very slowly...

Looking great, Ernie! Your strong temples really do finish it off and your face is framed really well. I am also a fan of Rahal's hairlines - that chevron shape looks great when the hair is combed up or back. You've got a super result there, and to think you've still got 5 months left - you must be chuffed!

 

What months would you say were your highlights? Did your density only arrive in the last month? I saw a previous post where you said the density hadn't quite arrived yet, which I think was a month ago. I've just hit 4 months myself and would be interested to hear how it progressed from months 4-7 for you.

Month 4 I was convinced: this is gonna work...

 

Month 5.5 - damn this is really coming in

 

Month 7 - wow thought I was done at 6 months but they weren't lying: things CAN and DO thicken up

Slicked back -- sorry for sideways one above. Included is

 

1. pre-op

 

2. 41 days post-op, which was a very difficult time obviously...

 

3. 6 months -- do you guys like this hairstyle better?

 

4. Rest are all from yesterday, 7.5 months, with my hair slicked back.

 

 

Not sure if slick back hair suits me. Still debating, but SO NICE to have choices now.

Yes Ernie! Looking SUPER mate, I am really happy for you. They both look great to be honest, try switching them up and see what you like. To echo ontop, they both look good. I am really looking forward to the next few months to see how mine turns out. If it's anything close to yours I'll be thrilled. Remember you've still got a good bit of maturing to go as well..!

Well, I've got 2 people saying "both", lol. Any tie breakers?

 

Ontop, thx for the comments.

 

TJ, I've been following your thread and you're busting out all over up there! Month 4 and after is where it's happening for you!
