Bill - Seemiller Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 HairBeThere, Thanks man! I'm looking forward to the next several months to see how the growth is coming along! Thanks for the encouragement. In your opinion, how much more growth should I see? Should the white hairs darken and thicken also? I know I wouldn't have full coverage, but should this all thicken up a lot? Thanks man! I'm new at this! JacobS, I am using 2% minoxidil and Propecia. i've only been using Propecia for about 3.5 months or so. The 5% minoxodil makes my scalp itchy so I don't use it! Thanks for the question. Why do you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 Thanks Reverse for the feedback! I like to keep people posted with my pics. I like to hear feedback from people as time goes on. I've love to hear more comments from anyone willing. Good luck with your upcoming HT Reverse.

Senior Member HairBeThere Posted January 30, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2005 Bill, I would guess you will see about 60%-70% more growth. And your hairs will start to grow in diameter to give you better density. You still have a long journey ahead of you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 Thanks Hair! That's reassuring and awesome to hear! I am happy with the growth this far, but I wouldn't be happy if this was the final result, because the hairs definately seem finer and thinner. Thanks for the reply man! How far along are you now?

Senior Member JacobS Posted January 30, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2005 Bill- My doc recommends it. Says very confidently that Minoxidil has accelerated the growth stage in his patients. That's all. BTW looks like you are going to get a really nice result.

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 Thanks JacobS. Yes, I use the mixodil. I used it for actually many years before the HT, but honestly, it didn't do me any good. I am only using it now for 2 reasons. 1. Combining it with Propecia I am hoping that it has better results 2. To hopefully speed up the growth process of the HT - which I know your doc recommends anyway. So, I'm doing what I can to see what happens. Did you have an HT Jacob? THanks for post and the compliments. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JacobS Posted January 30, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2005 Yes, I had close to 2500 hundred in December so needless to say I am going through the horrors right now. I have to remind myself that this stage is fleeting And focus on other things. The coverups help. I am a Norward 3 looking for a 2 result. Actually I look quite similar to my profile pic but with a NW3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hi JacobS, This is going to sound really ignorant...but can you point me a direction or define what a NW 2 vs 3 is, etc. I feel ya man. The first 2.5 months were painful not seeing any growth, even experienced a little shock loss, etc. Do you have any pictures posted on here that I can look at? Would love to be kept up to date with your progress. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 THanks Robert! What do you think of the progress of my hair so far? I'm curious to know your opinion. Thanks. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hello everyone! I added some 5 month pictures. Comparing the 4 month pics to the 5 month pics, I don't see a huge difference, but I definately see some sort of difference in caliper and some in length. Please post your opinions and comments. I really want to hear what you all have to say about the progress thus far. Thanks. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 2 months and the wait is excruciating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hi Jacob...yeah, there isn't a huge difference, but I think there is some difference in regards to color and length...so that is good I guess. Hopefully there will be some more changes this next month. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Telephone Man Posted February 28, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted February 28, 2005 Bill Looks like the procedure did a nice job with spreading the 1600 around, I am similiar to you in loss, NW5A light hair not dark which I understand is easier to contrast against light skin. Are you considering another to add density? I had 2140 with strong results and may consider another one down the road, good luck with your growth!!!

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hi Tman, Thanks for the compliments. yeah, Dr. Katz definately did a good job spreading the grafts around. Yes, I definately plan on having at least one more. I am thinking about focusing most of the next surgery on the front to really thicken the hairline and front, and then perhaps having a third surgery to try to help the back a bit. I doubt I will go more than 3 surgeries, but that is my long term game plan as of now. I will be waiting about a year between each surgery. Do you have a link to your pics Tman? I'd like to see your progress. How many months post op are you? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 Hi all....I just realized when looking through my pics, that I really didn't add many front shots of the hairline from straight on. So I just added a 5 month pic of the hairline from straight on and then a 2.5 month pic for compare purposes. Big difference it seems! Please tell me what you think! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JacobS Posted March 5, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2005 Ah wow Bill, big difference from 2.5 to 5 months. I had noticed lack of straight on shots and I was going to mention that. Katz did an excellent job! How does he rate with regard to the "personal touch" post operation ( following up with you etc)?
