Those results are looking awesome, you've certainly had *alot* of growth since the 3 month mark.

AWESOME....you do have a hairline now. I cannot believe how good it looks and only at the four month mark. Your before and after pictures truly reflect the change. I cannot believe it and will probably gasp again in the next couple of months when you post more pictures.

Do you still think about your hair everyday?
What have friends and family said?
Can the scar be seen say after swimming?
What is your daily regimen in terms of care?

Sorry for all the questions, but just curious and again it is looking AWESOME!!

troy/hairbank, im here to entertain you guys! after all you have done for this community (and personally influenced my decision)... sheesh, the very least i can do.

faceless, we're living the same dream (4gr range) i really hope my progress helps you out. and with the operations being so close in time as well... awesome! keep up that PMA (positive mental attitude)!

ugly, you know what you must do!

eman, yes i think about my hair everyday... but now its "YES!" as opposed to "ahh man" before the procedure. i forgot about it for a while, but now the fireworks are starting... kinda hard to turn away yaknow? the few friends that do know are starting to say "wow!" others that dont have no clue (as far as i can tell) although its tough to be patient at times, part of the beauty is how gradual the process is. people really do start to say, "hmm you look different? you been workin' out?" scar, its RIDICULOUS how minute it is. i forgot about that pretty much as soon as the staples were out. no way it could be seen swimming... im curious how it would look with a shaved head actually? besides proscar, no daily regimen.

no worries with the questions, im here to help how i can

im five months post-op now, and loving the results. at this point the new hair is still somewhat thin (kinda whispy), but looks great in certain lighting. under close scrutiny, it could still use so more density... im very excited still for whats in store and very curious how far this will go? 6 months = 50% growth, is that what ive read? if im still under 50% IM ECSTATIC!

as mentioned, im 5 months post-op and been on the propecia/proscar for 6 months... i actually think i am getting that dreaded "shed" ive seen people talk about here. i've noticed alot of fine hairs shedding the last couple weeks... darn it! when do those come back again (a little help anyone)? kinda sucks its right in the middle of the new hair fireworks show, but nonetheless im pretty darn stoked! w00t!

7 months and you will be loving life.. That's when my HT's really grew in and matured. At 1 year, you will be looking good because of both the HT and the propecia..

Good luck

Domie,
looks great so far. Any idea what density did you get in the front part?

Domie,

You're looking real god at only five months. Remember that the hairs not only grow longer but they grow thicker in diameter too and will continue to do so for a few months.

Domie, that is remarkable! Wow, you are now officially a retired baldie!

Domie,

I'm very impressed by your results at this stage...........super! Imagine what a few months of thickening will do!! As for the shed, the resting phase of the follicle is between 6 weeks to 2 months, then the little guys will start growin' again.

Amazing results, congrats to you!

Damn impressive bro. I'm psyched for you--it's only gonna improve & you look great already....

Wow, when I looked at your over head from before and now its amazing transformation!! Have people said anything? I also went through that late shed and it did come back as Hairbank said it would, but kinda freeks you out. Great results, Im happy for you.

everyone, thanks for the comments. as always, your input is greatly appreciated. :-) now for the "oscar winning" thank you speech..

mrjb and nikkop, its always great to hear compliments (hats off to dr. wong!). your both pumping me up for month 7 (and beyond). guess ill still have to be patient. ;-) although its much easier now that im a "retired baldie" already (as bushy wisely stated).

john, i have no idea what the actual density is. all i know is that i wanted it maximized with the amount of grafts i got.

joe, its always good to hear from the man that started this life changing journey for me... you my friend are awesome!

bushy, your blog has been so incredibly helpful for me. seriously, its been so close in progress that its like i have a window for the future of my do. thanks so much for posting your story.

hairbank and troy, as much as you guys have shared your experience and knowledge with this community... imho, you are helping to change peoples lives as much as the dr's that are performing the surgeries. what you share gets people in those chairs (myself included). i would not have done it without seeing and believing. THANK YOU!

mad props to all my brothers in hair loss! :-) see you next month, w00t!

Domie , just got done viewing your pics of progress and the 5 months results look great. It's viewing these results of you and others that show what a good ht can do. looking great. The best is yet to come.

You are well on your way and are in the most exciting stages of your ht, enjoy my friend.

Awesome

All the complaining people do about HT's , it's sad they don't recognize the AMAZING transformation one procedure can do by a qualified doc.. What a life changing experience.

MRJB, i HAVE NOT HEARD ANYONE COMPLAIN ABOUT THERE WORK FROM hASSON AND WONG. ONE GUY DID THEN CAME BACK ON AND APPOLIGISED, TURNED OUT HE WAS CRAZY!!! THE ONLY COMPLAINTS IVE HEARD ABOUT HTS, COMEFROM PEOPLE WHO HAD THEM DONE WITH OLD TECHNIQUES AND BAD DOCS. WHEN DOMIE CAME ON THE SCENE HE APPROACHED THIS VERY WISE AND WILL WITH OUT A DOUBT HAVE AMAZING FINISHED RESULTS. AND IS NOW GIVING BACK TO THE VERY FORUM THAT HELPED HIM- WAY TO GO DOMIE!!!

Hi Troy

You misunderstood my comment. I was referring to people complaining about " Poor Hair transplantation in general" . My point being there are amazing doc ( like H &W) who can perform life changing surgeries in just one pass. I think you migth have read my comments too fast .. H & W are truly gifted doctors.

Mrjb, well the main thing we are in agreement is Domies HT rocks!!!

alright, ive not posted any 1/2 month updates so far... but im so siked from my wonderful hairstylist friends new haircut. i just had to share.

first off, i have not told her about the HT... and she has NO idea still after cutting my hair last night!? when i saw her about a month ago (for the first time after the procedure) she kinda stared at me for a minute and asked, "is that your natural hair color? it looks great!" the puzzled look on her face was SO darn cute.

so here i am 5.5 months out rockin' that banging cut! a re-newed confidence, and an exciting stage in life! thank you dr. wong, thank you all!

Domie - That new haircut looks awesome! Congratulations on your new hair!!
