Looks awesome. Thank you for detailing your journey with us.
It looks great , however you Never mentioned how much money you had to pay to get these results. For some of us . That’s an issue.
How many grafts total?
What would you estimate is the “survival rate” of your grafts?

6 month post op (2nd surgery)

Back again.. This is my 6 month update with pics from my 2nd surgery. Surgery was Sep 30th 2015. I have had a good haircut since last update. Note , any shininess in pics is from gel I put on sides of hair to control it.

I am very happy with the results. Looking back I was expecting a good result but this has been a great experience and it has changed my look so much. One of the very few people who knows about the transplants is blown away that it looks so natural and full. They mention it without me mentioning it. I will be totally doing something else and they will say my hair looks great and I should find something else to worry about and that was hair was complete and done and done. It makes me feel good even though it's a bit embarrassing as I am not a big compliment taker. I am only entering the 7th month so I have a few more months of growth. The pictures are all with flash so it shows any thinness of hair as scalp is highlighted . In normal light, my crown is not thin and there are still a lot of tiny hairs that have yet to grow out all the way. The front hairline is totally solid and it has some more growth to go. I will try to take some pictures without flash and in the daylight so you can see how good hair looks in everyday situations. Any questions just let me know.

We love updates! You're hair is filling in wonderfully, happy for you! 

Thank you Eva, I'm hoping to get a few more months of growth . if it doesn't get any better than this though , I am still thrilled with results.
Looks great!

Where can I find your doctor's website and his costs ?

The Ponytail rocks...
Thanks for the compliment. The pony tail was fun and it helped hide the fact that I had the transplant done. I kept it in a pony tail for several months after the surgery if I went out anywhere. I finally got a good close haircut last week and it totally changed my look. My ponytail was over 12 inches long. I kept it ..lol..

My doctor is Dr.Matthew Huebner and he is at NATURAL TRANSPLANTS TRANSPLANTS in fort Lauderdale Florida. Give them a call if you are interested. They will probably ask for pictures to see where your hair loss is currently and they will discuss your expectations and answer any questions you have. If you get really interested, Feel free to ask for my phone number and I would be happy to discuss my procedures with you and answer any questions or concerns you may have. It is a serious step and I had a ton of questions myself and it was nice that I was able to talk to previous clients
Hi Charlie. Your story is inspiring with some fantastic results. If I can please call you to discuss the process from beginning to end. I set up a surgery date with the doctor and would love your input. Thanks!
..... All very informative, thank you & it looks really great.
Thank you so much. I am glad people appreciate it and hopefully it answers a few of the many questions people considering this procedure have . Honestly , it has been like a journal or a look back for me as my pictures are in order and it allows me to have a bookmark of my progress so it has served me nicely and is a benefit I hadn't thought of before I started journaling this. I recommend anyone going through this procedure to do this as well as it is a slow growing process and keeping notes and pictures allow you to see your progress a little better.
Keep posting! Nice pics!
hey, how long did you have scalp redness for at your recipient site after the procedure?
Hello . I was there for a few months as I recall. It was quite noticeable after my first procedure as I had a bad receding hairline and allowed the doctor to shave what was left up front. The 2nd procedure it wasn't nearly as noticeable as I had a lot of hair and it wasn't shaved so the other hairs hid most of the redness. As my. Doctor says, "your gonna look worse before you look better" .
Several months.. the swelling was there for 8 or 9 months although noone could tell it but me. Like the doc says, your gonna look worse before you look better
