Regular Member Ian.. Posted February 27, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2010 well... i did it again. my third hair transplant and hopefully this one should be my last one. i had 1800 grafts placed in the midsection and the crown. ive had a total of 7300 grafts over three hts. been a while since ive been on the forums, hope you are all well. fortunately i still have more donor left, dr feller has said i have 2 more sessions of 1200ish grafts. in dr fellers own words i have enough scalp laxity for 2 people, only downside to that is my scar tends to stretch, i need to keep my staples in for 3 weeks instead of 10 days to try and improve my chances of a small scar, not a problem though, i dont really find the staples too uncomfortable. check out my web page for pics.

Senior Member EpilepticSceptic Posted March 2, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 2, 2010 Ian, Looking great man! Could you please tell us how your hair caliber rates ? Is it fine, medium fine, or medium ? It looks in the pics to be straight, fine hair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ian.. Posted March 2, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2010 sharptooth, i have buzzed the top to a grade 5 to kinda even it out, i think i will buzz it again after ive had the staples out. cheers spex, labrat69, i think my hair is fine and straight, not the best kind of hair for coverage but i think it does make it appear natural.

Senior Member Rachmunas4life Posted March 2, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 2, 2010 Love the result and transformation! Due to your elastic scalp, did your scar stretch the first or second time? I have a very elastic scalp so I am nervous about this when I go down the H/T route. I'm sure I will have to keep the suture/staples in 3 weeks as well. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ian.. Posted March 2, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2010 thanks Rachmunas4life, my scar stretched a little on the first ht, it stretched more on the second. as for the elastic skin, i think it also has something to do with the amount of colagen in your skin cells that affect the way the scars stretch.

Senior Member aw33 Posted May 21, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) Woah, your case really interests me; I have almost the same pattern as you had when you started. I've lost my crown and temples but I still have a strong mid-section like you had and I still have my frontal forelock. You say you had your first HT at age 24, that's really interesting - at that stage, how long had you been losing your hair and how long had you been taking Finasteride? How exactly did Finasteride benefit you, how long did it work for? I am also losing a bit of ground with Finasteride and although I am a NW3V right now, I think I might be headed for a NW4-5. Weren't you worried about the potential harmful effects of Dudasteride? Did Dr.Feller recommend it for you? Thanks and good luck, your hair looks outstanding!

Senior Member Anouar Posted May 21, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted May 21, 2010 Your hair looks great. I don't know if you mentioned this but what are ur donor charcteristics in terms of density, hair type and elasticity? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ian.. Posted May 21, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 21, 2010 aw33, i started losing my hair at 20 and stated taking finnesteride at about 22, i used it for about 3 1/2 years, it had slowed the loss for the majority off that time, i switched to DUT because i started to lose ground again. Anourar, my donor density is good along with very stretchy skin, as for my hair characteristics, its kinda fine/medium caliber and straight .

Senior Member MikeTheDane Posted May 23, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2010 Ian I find your case very interesting due to your age, hairloss pattern, number of surgeries and grafts as well as the duration between the time of your 1st and your 3rd HT. I'll be monitoring you with curiosity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11/04-07 - 800-1600 ish grafts - danish clinic - poor results 12/02-08 - 2764 grafts - Dr. Devroye - good result but needs hairline density 03/12-10 - 1429 grafts - Dr. Mohmand - result pending Feel free to visit my picture thread My Hair Transplant Photos - Surgery with Dr. Devroye Young lads below 25 unite!
