MikeTheDane - yeah im a younger guy. 23, probably 24 by the time I have procedure though.

I haven't planned one completely yet because it sees everyday that I am ready to go I read something that discourages me. I just need to bite the bullet and get this done.

heh, i know the feeling. Eventually i just felt so bad about it i just took the plunge.

got pics?

Sorry for the delay of the post, but finally we are adding some nice pictures of Mike's surgery.

His hair loss started when he was 17 years old, and he had a first hair transplant made in Denmark, but the results were unsatisfying.

Even if he is still very young, he decided to make a second surgery to correct the results.

Together we planned the best strategy to adopt: to work on the anterior part so to draw a new hair line and not working on the vertex, where he still has hair, so to keep more grafts for the anterior part.

The anterior line had some imperfections, so I removed one by one some plugs via the FUE technique.
I made a new hairline, and you can see the little red spots which are the corrections. We also decided to draw the temples and to add grafts on the sideburns as well.

The former scar was removed, and I sutured it using the trichophytic closure. The removal of the stitches was planned 22 days after so to reduce the effect of stretch back.


2764 grafts 5974 hair placed
Mike’s donor area was balanced, with a high number of singles and doubles (follicular units with one hair and two hair). Finally we had 743 grafts singles, 1048 with 2 hair, 753 with 3 hair and 216 with 4 hair.

His hair is quite thin.
The size of the incisions: 0.7 mm for the singles, 1 mm for the doubles and 1.3 mm for the 3 and 4 hair.

as an old man on this site (34 ) I still look forward to following your progress. Well got to go, time for my meds and my 4pm early bird senior citizen's special at the supper club...

Old man at 34? UGHHHHHH I wish I was 34!!!!!

I dont. I can only imagine what double-digit norwood level i would be by then

I've said before, but I really think this will be an excellent outcome! And most deserved for someone so young....can't wait to see the progress-pics!

Thanks mate, when will you give us some updates yourself? ;-)

I'm assuming your surgery was Dec 2, 2008 and not Feb 12, 2008? Otherwise your results should be apparant by now.

Mike-

Love the shots added by Dr. Devroye!! I agree with Thana about you having an excellent result.

Right now, the waiting, is not fun but soon you will begin to see some activity up top.

Sorry about that Zod, in Denmark the days come before the month when listing a date.

I will fix it since most are american on these boards.

Eman: Thx man. Your log is an inspiration to me and i will sneakpeak at all possible times.

Mike,

The work looks great! Cant wait to track the growth! All the best!

Cheers

Mike congratulations my friend. Im sure the results will be fantastic. Great choice in Dr also. Dr Devroye is for sure one of the best. I always find it so interesting and informative that way that his photos and information are logged!!! Impressive!

Thanks raphael, and i agree, devroye's documentation is great.

I know i promised you guys 2 months pics, but nothing has happened as of yet, so i am holding on to them until 3rd month!

Hey guys...

Tomorrow is my 4 month post up, but i felt like giving a sneakpeak. These pictures were taken 4 days ago so they should represent my current situation.

Definitely seeing some growth, especially on the right temple area.

I'm hoping to drop my hat at the 1st of may, maybe dye myself blond to emphasize on the hair to scalp contrast, but i guess that would require alot of growth on april.


For PRE-ops please look at THIS PAGE














I can't wait for may.

dude did you take those pics while talking the crap???
now if you'll excuse me for a second while i finish eating my chocolate danish with my medium double-double.

oh yeah everything looks fine so far. still way too early for anything constructive. and i hate imageshack!

Mike,

You seem to be coming along great for 4 months my friend.

Keep us posted.

Bill (Falc)

Lookin' solid! You're new temple points are going to be really sweet. The good times will soon be rolling, hang tight!

LOL yeah i did take those pictures while being on the toilet.

Thanks for all the comment guys.

Any updates Mike?
