Regular Member Speran28 Posted August 3, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) After getting a hair cut today and deciding to do a 2.5 month update, I was feeling pretty depressed overall about my transplant and wondering if things are on track. I saw your comment on my thread and went to look through your story.... and WOW! At 2 months, you donor area, transplant and electrolysis looked just like mine! Amazing results at 7 months and gave me a lot of hope for my own results. Time to move on with life for sure, I hope to get to that point as well, thank you for posting your results.

radar Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Thank you for your detailed updates. I've visited Dr. Cooleys Office 2 times over the last 5 years & made the decision that at some time I would have a procedure & his Office would handle it. My reservations, other than cost of course, is how long I'd have to stay out of work where people didn't notice I'd had a hair procedure (I'm a Contractor & deal with customers on a daily basis). I've now reached the time to go ahead so plan on calling Dr. Cooley's Office and making my appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member HTREGRETS Posted September 4, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 4, 2018 8.5 Month Update Fresh out of a haircut, I figured I'd give an update with my progress. Words really can't explain how happy I am with my procedure with Dr. Cooley. Life-changing is an understatement. Being a long time repair patient, I finally feel like myself again. Once again, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I don't have any product in my hair. My hair actually looks a little better than this when I wash it with volumizing shampoo, and style it with hairspray. But I figured I would give everyone a realistic look at my hair un-styled. I was very critical of the scar healing, but as you can tell, it's pretty much a non-issue now. I can probably go shorter, but don't feel the need to. To answer a few questions, I don't take minox, but take brand name Propecia religiously, and have been doing so since I was 19. I honestly have better hair now, than I did during my senior year of high school. The feeling is incredible! Thank you Dr. Cooley!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Speran28 Posted January 19, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted January 19, 2019 Update. I just started living my life and not worrying about hair so I forgot about this thread. These are pics at the worst possible angle, but I'm very happy. Could use a tiny bit more but it's good enough and the scar is way way better (although I still want to get it filled in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member HTREGRETS Posted February 1, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 1, 2019 Month 13+ Update! Sorry for the very late update everyone, I've been busy enjoying life with a new head of hair! The hair has continued to thicken up and mature thru the 12 month mark. Also, the scar has continued to heal, and is really a non-issue now. These pics are from yesterday, under harsh bathroom light, with a little hairspray in. This is how I style my hair everyday. Only takes about 30 seconds - love it! Per usual, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. This is about one week out from a haircut. I'm sure I could cram some extra grafts in there, but no need to get greedy. I can't thank Ailene and Dr. Cooley's office enough! As previously stated, I was a disgruntled repair patient, and was very skeptical of the procedure. I never thought I could ever have hair like this, but Dr. Cooley worked his magic! I'm heading back to Dr. Cooley's office next month for a complimentary post procedure follow up visit. I'll try to post pics if he takes them. Otherwise, this will be my last update. Thank you to everyone and to this forum for your support! And good luck to all who are pursuing this procedure. I personally would not let anyone besides Dr. Cooley ever touch my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
