Okay - update........I'm DEFINITELY going in for my 3rd (and final :-)) HT. If Master Wong can pull 3000 + grafts out of my donor, I should end up with pretty much a fully restored look which is what I'm after. At 41 yrs old, having been a diffused NW 5 at age 38 before HT #1, I'm throwing "conservative" out the window.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to take any other before pics prior to my surgery, which has been scheduled for Thursday, April 24th..............BUT, I guarantee you I'll be documenting many pics the day of, and many days after surgery.
Many thanks to you all here who have followed my story over the years and for the wealth of valuable information and support I've received. I'm truly blessed to have the many friends I've gained here and hope to continue to support the site as much as time permits in the future.
Quite frankly - I'M PSYCHED!!!!
Here are pics before HT #3 w/ Dr. Wong. I haven't updated the pics since last summer, but actually think it's even matured and thickened a little. I've started styling my hair forward and like the coverage better.......except for the crown. Still not too bad but don't be deceived about crownwork............takes lots of grafts for anything close to a full look. I'll try to hightlight my plans for attack later with these pics. At present, I'm thinking of 1500 grafts for temple/widows peak/hairline work............1500-2000 grafts to dense up the frontal 1/3 and laterals/sides where hair parts..........then hopefully another 1500 to hit the crown again paying attention to the center of the swirl working out on the right side, and the equivalent area on the left so it's less see-through for each profile. Not concerned with the lower "U" thining on the back as Fin is helping some and with a little length it covers nicely.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome. |
