4 month update with Rahal 2500gfts

[Jojo]

howdy folks, sorry its taken me so long to let ya know how my ht has been coming along, i've been just thinkin positive and letting it grow, i've been using rogaine foam once in the evening but lately started applyin it in the morn as well for the time being, i've also decided to give finasteride another go...Anyway i had my ht on Oct 10 with Rahal and it was all good and so far i've been pretty happy with the results although rite now i'm kinda regretting not getting the hairline lowered a little bit. I had about 2500 grafts placed in my temple area and had my hairline re-established in the position it was in, i didn't get the hairline lowered and i still feel that my forehead looks kinda a little big. During the consultation Dr Rahal said it was an age appropriate hairline and had his ruler measuring my forehead and he thought it was rite. However i kinda thought then and i still think now that a slighty lower hairline but not a juvenile hairline would suit me better and i am thinking seriously about popping back and getting another very small procedure too lower it a bit in the middle of the forehead, i'll wait a while and see how i feel. The hairline design it self is great, i'm hoping that the over all density will improve a bit over the passing months cos it's still quite thin, i haven't had a hair cut in a long time just been wearing my hair long and wearin a baseball cap. When the ht matures a little more i'll get a hair cut and see how it looks although i prefer keeping my hair long rite now. I 'd also like to say a massive thanks to everybody on the site for taking the time to offer advice ect ect. I know i would have been lost with out this site and you guys. In addition as Bill says "HT's are not a quick fix/cure" one must be realistic and think about future hairloss etc ect. So i know i'm not out of the wood so to speak and i donno if i can continue with the fin which would make it harder to maintain hair so anyways i'll see what happens...

Jojo- Congrats on hitting the four month mark. I think most of us would like to see the pictures presented in a better way, i.e. a Weblog, as it is hard to see the changes from pre until now.

 

In regards to lowering the hairline, I hear where you are coming from...take a look at the size of my forehead (I actually call it a fivehead ). But it would actually not be a small procedure to have your hairline lowered, due to the amount of grafts needed to create the density you would want and the size of the area you would be covering. And if you have any loss in the future you may want to conserve the donor for that (I really cannot tell by your pics).

 

Anyway, hopefully you can create a weblog for us and I am sure you will get many more comments that way.
