I'm at about 3 months, 3 weeks post-up of 2000 grafts in the frontal area. Was norwood 3-4.

Front center hairline was lowered about 1/2 inch and the recession was filled in. Also some hairs were transplanted into the temples, though that isn't really visible at this point.

Growth has improved dramatically in the past 1-2 weeks. Hard to take photos which reflect accurate portrayal, but the ones I've come up with are ok.

The new hairline is exciting, though at this stage is not noticable from anywhere other than close up. Of course only a small percentage of the hairs have come in, so I'm looking forward to new ones sprouting. I understand hair grows in stages. Right now the hairs which had began growing 3-4 weeks ago are now maturing, though are thin and wispy (that will change). I'm now waiting for the explosion of hairs to come popping through the scalp.

Very nervewracking, as I'm sure many of you know. Almost have to drag myself away from the mirror 20 times a day, though I'm starting to just convince myself to let mother nature take its course and not worry about it.

The before photos were taken 10 days post-up, so you can see a bit of redness yet and the grafted area. Many grafts had already fallen out at that point.

The hairline is starting to look nice and assuming all the grafts grow I should see a significant improvement.

Thoughts and commentary are appreciated. Thank you.

This system sucks. I can't get it to upload more than one photo at the same time.

looks great.. you can difinetly see the old and new hairline. You should be extremely happy with the results. The hardest wait is over. It's all down hill from here.

your pictures are a bit fuzzy so it's hard to tell but the work appears good. Maybe you could post some clearer ones. Who was your physician? Do you have any pre-op photos?

Sorry, can't seem to get these photos right, this system isn't cutting it. And my computer is goofy. Here are a couple more before, hopefully they work.

Who was your doc?

looks natural...who did it??

ahhhhh....congrats!!!


a job very well done. Looks fantastic, truly.


I like the style better without that part in the middle in the earlier posted pics.


You must be so thrilled.....where was the work done??? or did I miss that???


Lastly.......was it just the hairline you got done???? Everything still in tact in the back? No bald/balding crown???


Thrilled to see such great work.....enjoy it. God knows we do!

I'd say at the 3 mos, 3 week mark you're progressing very well, much better than I was at that point. And I'm pretty happy with my current results. So you're definitely well on your way, from I can tell from the pics anyway. Looks natural. Who was the physician?
