Thanks so much, guys. In some ways this round has been more troubling because of the shock loss, but it's so comforting to see it come back. I can't wait for the real results.

Mr. Joe: Thanks! Indeed, even the lst few weeks alone have been huge.

Hairbank: Wow, you're looking great yourself, and you were only about 3 months before me! Can't wait to see your updated pics.

B Spot: I hope you prove correct!

JB: Thanks for your compliments. BTW, H&W don't require that you shave, but strongly recommend it. For a serious mega-session, I can't see why you wouldn't want to! Also, I, too, have a "normal look profession," and two weeks after surgery was successfully using Dermmatch/Toppik to camouflage the damage.

And, as far as laxity is concerned, you can do exercises to improve that . . .

Well, what a difference a month has made! I'm really beginning to sprout. Shock loss nearly gone. Here's a quick comparison, but have a look at my blog for more pics.

What do you think?

Thanks

At this point I really don't need a mega session as I've already had close to 3000 grafts. At this point maybe another 2000 or so would do nicely..

Thanks

JB

Bushy,

You're coming along quite well! The front-on shot looks particularly good...impeccable hairline. You're also definitely thickening up behind said hairline, so here's to the next months!

Benjamin

Amazing month by month transformation, i'd settle for your month 4 pics as my final result.

You must be getting really excited as to what the final results are going to turn out like?

Bushy - it's looking great! Your month four photo really paints the picture well. The hairline thickness and naturalness never ceases to amaze me. I can't wait to see what another 8-12 months of growth brings! All the best!

Thanks, guys. Your supportiveness means a great deal. At this point, I can notice improvement every 3 or 4 days. Wish I could turn the hair-clock ahead a month or 2.

Bushy, I guess pictures just can't tell the whole story, because I look at your 1 year post op pics from your first HT, I'm I was thinking....where in the world is he going to put more hair...on the end of his nose?...lol

Still, it does look like a great job, and I guess you're going to have more hair than a kupie doll in about 6 months...heh heh.

Well done!!

Okay I looked at the refresher pics that showed the bare spot a third of the way back so I get it now. I must say, your earlier picks tho, and I suppose the toppick etc that you used sure had me fooled.

Best of luck on the 2nd HT. You're going to have a serious head of hair!

Bushy...looking good man! I have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Hasson on 10/19/2006. I look forward to seeing more of your progress and certainly will be sharing mine.

Falc

Mark: Yeah, those concealers do a great job!

Falc, I can't wait to see your work!!! Do lots of scalp exercises!

Well, I'm one week away from my 5 month pics, but couldn't resist showing off my newly refined Hasson hairline.

Bushy,

Your hairline looks great. Looks like another fantastic transformation from Dr.Hasson.

Good growing to you.

Thanks, Lad. Which one do you like better? I went for the less-jagged one with HT #2, whioch I thought suited me better given my course, dark hair.

I think the second ht hairline suits you better. But I must say I think the first hairline looked great to.

Your new hairline will frame your face better and looks more natural.

It looks great, although the photos may not tell the whole story, because your first one looks so good. You do seem to have made the widows peak a little more subtle in the second one.

Both look great frankly. Did you go for more density at the hairline then?

mark h

I would take either 1 or 2...looking soft and natural after round 2 I must say looks very real. plus this is 1 year vs 5months

Thanks, London and Mark. I really only had Dr. Hasson refine the hairline, though he did, in the process, add a bit of density where needed.

Good point. Dr. Hasson's reaction was kind of "this is still only 5 months . . . wait till it all grows out!" And thanks for the compliment.

Bushy....looking great man! Amazing results so far! I can't wait to see more.
