Senior Member Fue3361 Posted July 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 Fun idea, post what you no longer miss about the days before you had your HT. I’ll put mine: 1. I don’t miss avoiding going out for a walk when it is windy, or angling my head down when the wind picks up. 2. I don’t miss wearing a hat when doing cardio or any form of running that might mess up my hair. 3. I don’t miss feeling anxious about a girl passing her hand through my hair. 4. I don’t miss not being able to have a variety of haircuts. What don’t you guys miss? 5 1 Check out my journey here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Fue3361, What a great fun post. While I work for Dr. Rahal and have been in the profession for almost 20 years, I’m a hair transplant patient first. In fact, I’ve undergone 4 hair transplants over a period of 5 years and after over 12 years, I may be going for a fifth, of course with Dr. Rahal. In the meantime however, here are some things I don’t miss - 1. feeling like I have to wear a hat everywhere because I was too anxious for people to see I was going bald - especially young pretty women. 2. having dreams about having long hair again only to wake up realizing I essentially have no hair left on top of my head with any freaks of wearing my hair long again we’re simply that - dreams. 3. Looking in the mirror seeing someone that used to be attractive with hair These are the main ones I can think of right now.

Senior Member NARMAK Posted July 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 I haven't reached anywhere close to a significant time with my HT to even contemplate a full on "I don't miss" but it's interesting to see how much overlap there is in the issues people faced. Personally speaking, i've mentioned before how i would style my hair to hide the fact i never had any temple points and wind taking the styled hair out of place would expose that, so fingers crossed that's something i won't miss when i get to 12 months.

Well I found the way your tone was directed to me to be rather rude and not professional at all and as the moderator a private message would of been more prudent instead of making it public dont you think. It’s a light hearted comment , If this is not accepted on this forum then so be it , your the boss .

Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted July 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 I will add 1. Will not miss having to put hair fibers in (Or at least not nearly as much) and having them get in my eyes Also Sukh123, I agree with the sentiment that your original comment was unnecessarily rude. Not trying to pile on and I've engaged in plenty of back and forth on here but never in a way that was intentionally rude for no reason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted July 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 I am only 1.5 months post-op. But.....when my killer results comes in, I hope I will stop being chained to a mirror and stop thinking about my hair 24/7. Its not normal or healthy to think about your hair this much. I would rather have 'meh' hair but not have it bother me at all and never think about it, then have good hair but be depressed because its not "perfect". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Marko7t4 Posted July 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 I don’t miss tactical combing, and I’m enjoying being able to slide sunglasses up into my hairline to hold my hair back, which I wouldn’t have done before my HT due to depletion at the front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member AlexMeister21 Posted July 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'd say right now, I don't miss wasting hours in front of the mirror and obsessively trying to create an acceptable combover if I had to go out in public without a hat. Now it's like I only spend about 10-30 minutes at most to cover up my thinner areas. Hoping another procedure will allow me to reap other benefits one day of not needing to wear hats, not worrying about others touching hair, it getting wet, etc. 1 Dr. Laorwong - 1,837 grafts FUE + BHT (Jan. 31, 2023) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted July 19, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 19, 2022 At only six months post op the biggest thing for me is that I don't miss having to hide the low, lateral scar along my forehead and the scars in my donor area at all.

Were some of them small 1000ish graft procedures? Did you say private messaging isn’t working? It was working earlier for me just fine. But to answer your question - when I first started out in 2004, I had hardly done any research. I was a Norwood class 5A and had chosen a local surgeon for maxed out around 1600 graphs. As I’m sure you can imagine, that didn’t take me very far. After two hair transplants, I decided I needed as large of a session as possible so I chose accordingly. i’m very happy with the way my hair looks now however, I may undergo a fifth her transplant to refine the hairline slightly and identity to the crown. I’ve already had over 9000 grafts and one more procedure would pit me in the 10,000 club. My last hair transplant was in 2007 so a lot has changed since then. I will be undergoing FUE this time around after 4 FUT procedures.
