I've been awful with posting pictures recently so sorry about that. Anyway, here are my results at 8 months, along with some pictures along the way.

FenderPlayer,

That's a nice looking mop you've got there. What an impressive difference between month 5 and 8 as well.

For those members and guests at month 5 wondering if "this is it", take note of the radical difference here. And he's still got even more growth to come :-).

Congratulations FenderPlayer. I hope you are thrilled with your new locks!

Bill (Falc)

looks gd fenderplayer,

it seems you have progressed nicely. when was it when you were taken by surprise that there indeed had been a change?

Wow fenderbender for only 8 months you have already come a long way - with only more ahead of you. You happy so far?


Compare - pre op/ 8months


I love the hairline pic exposed in the sun :

Yes that is a big difference and it only gets better

Thanks for all the comments.

azza, I'd say it was around the 5 month mark that i really noticed what to me was a big change. having hair growing in that area instead of falling out was such a thrill that i was pretty happy at that point even just to see SOMETHING there.

Spex, Yes I am happy so far so let Dr. Feller know! The best thing is that my self confidence has been greatly renewed. Having such a large amount of loss at 22 was just painful. Now after the surgery though, I no longer hate when people pull out a camera near me and things like that. I feel way better about myself which is definitely great in my book.

Great stuff - glad to hear it and you should be for only 8 months mate - long way to go still till the end result! People too often forget where they were pre op - thats why the comparison shots really help.

Wow. You have come a VERY long way, dude. Your situation was actually quite similar to mine - perhaps, a bit more loss, though since my op I think I've thinned to where you were pre-op.

You look radically different and at 8months you have more growth, thickening, and maturation. I think every HT has a couple of styles that work best for the given patient, too, and it takes some time and experimentation to find them.

Another few months and I think the proverbial cherry will be atop your follicular-sundae! Enjoy how far you've come and how far you will go -- live it up, bro!

Nice growth and presentation Fender. When you get a chance come to the office for some more photos.
Thanks for sharing your results online.

Dr. F

FenderPlayer - Just to echo everyone else. This is very nice growth. Glad you are pleased, as well you should be. Congratulations!

Falc - Thanks for mentioning difference at 5 months. Being a little over 5 months, I did take note.

thana, new2thissite - Thanks for the comments.

Dr. Feller - I'll stop by the office toward the end of May most likely.

That will be great Fender

Very nice and natural, in a year from know it will be completly amazing....good for you buddy....Great work Dr. F...

Just a thought from the peanut gallery....

yes this is amazing result!!!!
but FenderPlayer are you on any meds right now???
i can see that your hairloss is more apparent behind the area that was worked on as seen on this pic:



if not i urge you to start taking them right away and thank me later

wow - how do i resize the image???
Falc i need some assistence please

Kaounis - thanks for the kind words

Mr. GQ - yes I am on propecia currently.

Spex, Dr. Feller, or Fender, do you know how many grafts were planted into the frontal hairline region?

I don't remember, but I assume it was average or perhaps a bit below average in the name of greater coverage.

Thanks for the update. Looks really good.

Thanks for answering Dr. Feller!

I only asked because in the below photo I felt, even for only 8 months, it looked very sparse...the amount of grafts. I figured that you did less than average density to cover more area, but wasn't sure. If I'm looking at it right, in the visible areas it looks like around 8-16 grafts per sqcm on average?
