I'm a new member that went through this forum about 10 months ago or so when I started really noticing hair loss. I quickly decided to get an HT before doing too much research, then, afterward, read up on some of the comments about certain clinics.

I'll post who the clinic was in a bit, but I'd appreciate some feedback on the pics. I'm pretty pleased with the results, particularly when I look at the then-and-now pics, but would like some opinions.

(Not sure how to post multiple pics so I may have to do a few threads...)

Thanks -

Thanks bro - I feel like one - especially after reading all of the negative pub.

Could have been that particular Doctor, or nurses, but think it was well worth it

It seems like you have great hair characteristics for a HT. Thick and curly. That certainly helps.

True - they said upfront that was the case, but I figured they could be telling me what I wanted to hear. I was terrified afterward; the shock loss was horrible and I thought I was doomed.

Paid a lot (think it was like 10K for 2500 grafts or so), but - at least as of now - I think it was well worth it.

And by the way, I don't consider myself weak by any means, but I thought it hurt like hell, contrary to what others have said. Maybe it's just me...

Roots, great result. I think you were fortunate to get a good doctor. People just beat Bosley to death blindly out here but there are a few good docs in Bosley as well. Is Bosley really that cheap? I thought they charged way more than that?

You say the shockloss was horrible. Was it in the donor or recipient area? Or both?

Def glad you're satisfied, and you look you have a nice, full head of hair!

Do you have any pre-ops, though? I ask because the earliest I see is a "2wk" post-op shot, and since you said you had such horrible shockloss it's tough to get a gauge on where you were at before the 2500 grafts. And then your 12wk/3month shot it looks like you have a ton more hair.

Surprisingly, I did not have a lot of pics from the 6-month period of rapid hair-loss leading to the time I rushed to get a HT out of desperation. Prior to the 6 months leading up, I did not notice any real concerning loss.

Here's a pic from right after the HT to help slightly gauge the shock-loss during the following couple of months. I noticed also that in the week 12 pic that I had grown a lot more hair. I wonder if I mis-dated that pic, but not positive. My HT was Nov. 29 or so, 2008.

I'll attach another pic from today right out of the shower, towel-dried.

Doesn't seem too bad for Nov '08 - ~Sep '09

Roots,
Congrats on the procedure i hope u r happy as ever. Bosley is a crapshoot but I guess u got one of the good ones. You have to be the worst person at taking photos I think I have ever seen...LOL

your very lucky as far as I can see, Bosley? ffs they are terrible lol. Pics of hairline would help, to make an opinion.

great ht. i also am an extremely satisfied bosley patient.ther are afew of us out here

My point exactly, there are a few of you ou there. Only a few.

Well it only took them about 20 years, but I'm glad to see they finally got a patient not wanting to sue them! You could probably make a fortune as a paid showcase patient for them since you are probably the only one.
