Regular Member Regs Posted August 7, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted August 7, 2018 Had my HT done with Dr Cooley on 7-5-18. Had 3801 graphs done on the front and crown area. Everything went great and no pain. Here are some photos of pre-op and post-op. I'm 53 yrs old. Do you guys think the hairline looks ok for my age? To me it looks like it angles back too much on the sides, but Dr Cooley said he was going for a natural look for my age. I guess I need to wait for it to grow out to see the final outcome.

Senior Member TrixGlendevon Posted August 8, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 8, 2018 Looks good so far. Clean work and you have healed fast. Almost no redness after 3 weeks. Do you have any pictures of the donor and the crown? That is a very conservative hairline and actually, the work post-op doesn't match with the hairline drawn pre-op. I think it will make a massive improvement when it is done though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member forgotpassword Posted August 8, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 8, 2018 You picked an excellent doctor. A natural look makes it less obvious any work was done. Once it grows in you'll be feeling a lot better. July 2017 - Dr Cooley - 2575 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will all start growing soon. Wore a hair piece for a yr before the HT. So now trying to hide it with a ball cap till it grows back in. Wish I would of just got the HT before the piece.

Senior Member UKLad81 Posted August 14, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 14, 2018 You’re looking exactly how you should after 5 weeks buddy!! Get through the next month or so and you should start seeing some growth. Don’t worry too much about the shock loss, it will grow back (most likely in month 3 and 4). Are you taking any meds?

Regular Member Regs Posted October 5, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 5, 2018 3 month update. Doesn't seem like a lot of growth yet. Hopefully it takes off soon. What do you guys think, is this about normal for 3 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Triple7 Posted October 5, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2018 Yes it looks pretty normal for 3 months. Between 3-5 months is where things really start to happen for most people and then it will just continue to grow and mature while improving each month. You have a lot to look forward to in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member newpatient99 Posted October 5, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2018 growth at 3 months is considered early, most people start growing at month 4 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Regs Posted January 14, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 14, 2019 Coming along pretty good at a little over 6 months. The new hair seems to be a little fuzzy, not quite the same texture. I assume it will get better as time passes? It has gotten better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
