I'd need to see some before pics to which to compare this.

I don't have any before pics with my hair parted like this. But here are my other before pics. I didn't have much up there.

I think my overall density in this area is over 40 per/cm2, but my hair is pretty fine so it doesn't provide great coverage.

Hi Gorpy,
unless you have a small head I don't think that 2700 grafts can cover that much at 40/cm2. I am comparing my graft #s with my area covered at about 50/cm2 so I could be wrong.

Regardless, your results look great and very natural.

First off, and perhaps most importantly, your hair looks 100% natural. Dr. Keene seems to make extraordinarily natural hairlines. The density is not overwhelming. The grafts were spread over a fairly large area and she seems to have placed a bunch in the temple region. (You also have posted no profile pics from the surgery or after, so I cannot tell exactly what she did on the sides/temples.)

It may require another surgery to enhance the density. Are you considering that?

Thanks Bushy. The reason I said 40 per/cm2 "in that area" (the center area), is because I had some hair there before. Not much but some. And looking at it, I think I kept that hair and/or maybe fin added some. It looks fairly dense, but thin hair caliber. The transplant was basically 30 per over 90 cm2.

I am considering some enhancement for density.

Hi Gorpy Uncle,
Your hair looks amazing. In sixties you have this much of density and and an attractive hairline. I don't think you need any more density or another procedure. your hair looks excellent.

Gorpy, was shockloss a concern for you at all?

I'm planning to get a hair transplant late this year, but I have hair all over my head. My hair is also fine, and I'm very scared of getting my third transplant (I had 2 already).

I'm very afraid of shockloss at this point.

I was under the impression that transplanted hair, from older procedures can be shocked out, but it will more than likely grow back.

It's the native, non-transplanted hair that if shocked out, probably won't return.

That's what I think, but someone can correct me if I'm off-base.


1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ.

As long as the moon shall rise
As long as the rivers flow
As long as the sun shall shine
And the grass will grow
Let me listen, I will learn to speak
The old language
Yes, I yearn to bathe in blue skies
And fall apart from the world of machines
Regain my feet and my pounding heart

Vinto,
Shockloss was a concern, and I had quite a bit, but it was only temporary. I think most of my shocked out hair grew back. It's always tough to know what will happen. I understand your concern.

Dhuge,
You are correct. Any shocked out transplanted hair should be only temporary. That assumes you go to a quality physician that won't transect your existing roots. Native hair that is on its way to falling out could be permanently lost.

Gorpy, I'm sorry I think you look great. Looking at your timeline photos has been a real deciding factor for me. It looks natural.

Thanks. It does look extremely natural. But it is a little thin.

then go for one more round Gorpy, but keep it under control. You still need to look as you are thinning for the best appearance IMO. Maybe add only 10-15 more /cm2...

In my opinion, if Gorpy has the donor hair, he should carefully think about this and try to get the coverage that will allow him serious piece of mind for the future. I'm a greedy bastard when it comes to my hairline and, luckily, I had the donor hair available to give me a really nice hairline (although it could have been even better if I went to a Coalition doctor). And I still have plenty left if I decide to have Dr. Feller touch it up in the near future.

I know that many of you will probably disagree with the following: When I see hairlines like Patrick Dempsey, Brad Pitt, etc., I feel that if they can have hairlines like that and still look natural, then anyone who has the donor hair available and has been given the green light by a Coalition doctor should be able to do the same.

Once again, this is all just my opinion.

Thanks Kamin,
While a Brad Pitt look would be interesting, I prefer the Harrison Ford look Wink

In all seriousness, a small second pass offers the oppportunity to add more refinement in the right places. There is always room for that.
