Dr. Lindsey -- surgery scheduled for 2/26

[JuJu]

Hi everyone!

 

I've been mostly lurking on this site for seven or so months now.

 

Finally, this week, after meeting with various Drs recommended on this site, I decided to go forward with a relatively small (i.e. 1250 graft) HT with Dr. Wm. Lindsey of McLean, VA.

 

I have been very impressed with Dr. Lindsey's consistent results, as posted on this site. Beyond that, after speaking with Dr. Lindsey, I realized that we were exactly on the same page as far as surgical objectives. He is very easy to talk to, and has been responsive to all communication. Very impressive.

 

I started a hairloss weblog, which I will update frequently after the surgery.

 

My objectives are to fill-in, to an extent, the "frontal triangle" regions of the hairline, which have experienced almost all of the hairloss.

 

Also, ideally, I would not like for the frontal portion of the hairline to be "see-through," as it currently is. I like to spike up this part of my hair.

 

Dr. Lindsey recommended grafting hairs 1/4" or so behind the current hairline, so as to safeguard against future hairloss. I think this is a great idea. Although I have not experienced any further hairloss since starting propecia 2 years ago, I would rather be safe than sorry and have to come in for another surgery a year or two down the road.

 

This website is GREAT. Thank you everyone for your questions. They've helped me learn a lot about this process.

 

I will keep you updated.
