HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

Oops - looks like my 6 months post-op are already on this site at the link I offered above - sorry I forgot I added those, thought I was only up to 4.5 months here.

B2H, I will endeavor to take and post some 8 months photos on the date, which will be early/mid September.

Hi guys, sorry I don't have more recent pictures right now to post here, but here are two links, one with photos pre-op as well as up to 4.5 months post-op. There are more recent photos on another hair loss site (I believe I have 6 month post-op up over there, I don't recall at the moment), and I wi...

Hi all, thought some might be interested in a six-month update. Here are some shots of the front. I can't seem to get decent pics of the linear scars, but will endeavor to get some next time. Overall things are normalizing nicely in front, there's still some stubble in front and in the scars, so I a...

This looks great, Jessica. Thanks for the update, I appreciate it. I hope my own linear scars improve as much by the one year mark (I'm exactly 6 months post-op tomorrow already!).

He looks very good and very naturally bald. Thanks Jessica for posting the update. I'm looking forward to the scar pics.

A lot of guys at other hairloss sites seem convinced that it works better at regrowing hair than the liquid. Some of these guys cite increased shedding early on in its use as a sign that it is working better, some feel that their hair suffers and may not recover from the increased shed. One argument...

Hi guys, thought I would add a couple new pictures of my repair progress, I'm at the 4 1/2 month mark now. Here's a before and after of the front, and a before and after with the front pulled back. I will endeavor to take some photos of the growth in the linear scars soon (there's some decent growth...

Great result, the guy must be very happy - to have this nice package in front and no linear scar at the back, what a combo!

Yeah, I hear ya, the law of unintended consequences. The jury's out, but it should be interesting to watch. Hope for the best.

Hi guys, some might have seen this, but Rep. Frank Hornstein has put forward a bill for his home state of Minnesota to regulate HT clinics. The bill can be found at this link: http://ros.leg.mn/revisor/pages/search_status/status_detail.php?b=House&f=HF1069&ssn=0&y=2007 There is some inte...

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I feel better about my head already. There's still redness at the extraction sites but this is expected for only one month post-op. Very important to me is that I can now, for the first time in nearly a decade and a half, brush and shampoo my hair without irritating a bunch of ug...

Hi everyone, I know I said I was going to wait a few months before posting photos, but I thought the one month pics were so interesting I wanted to share. This is pre-op and exactly one month out from my half day remove and redistribute FIT session with Dr. Cole. Note that the pluggyness is nearly g...

Dear Dr. Cole, I am approximately one month post-op from my half-day repair procedure, and I wanted to write not so much to update, but to thank you for the time spent working on my head (well, “scalp” I suppose). For many people, “repair” is a very personal thing, and I appreciated your str...

Hi guys, having spent some time at IHTI this past week, I thought I would offer some thoughts on logistics, accommodation, etc. available to Dr. Cole’s patients. These are just my impressions based on my own experience, but who knows, might be useful for somebody. In terms of accommodation, I stay...

Hi everyone, I apologize for cross-posting, I meant to post this here at forhair.com, but somehow (maybe the sleeping meds are starting to sink in) I posted it at hairlosshelp.com instead. Anyway, the message below was meant for this site (I was going to do a different version for the other site), s...

Hi guys (and girls), just wanted to post a short update that I will be visiting Dr. Cole and his team in January for a repair procedure. I will post some pics etc. in the repair forum thereafter (for anyone who is interested), and I will also endeavor to get some decent "before" pics in the coming w...

Thanks, everyone. The kind words mean more than you know. One thing I have indeed more fully reflected upon since posting my somewhat verbose contribution above is that I am by no means alone in this situation, particularly in terms of guys who were/are unnecessarily scarred at the back and were/hav...

Thanks for the encouragement, forhair. As you can see, based on whose site I am posting my story, I’ve done my homework this time. Indeed, I’m always amazed how many very young men write into the hairloss forums at various sites, and yes, I shutter to think how many of them soon find their way i...

Hi all, I apologize for the long post, I promise this will be the one and only long post from me, ever (though I do look forward to contributing several much shorter messages in the future!). Somehow I sat down with my laptop and all of this just came out! Here goes . . . Falling under the rubric of...
