Hi David

Is it correct that the work you had done was carried out without having your head shaved?

Thanks

Yes that is correct. For both procedures, I did not require my head to be shaved. However, as I opted for the strip option, the area where the strip is taken is shaved. However, if you leave your hair at a decent length before the op then this is covered up afterwards.

So so, here we are. I'm roughly 6 months down the line from the second transplant (2500 grafts Strip method) and here are a few photographs taken over the last week or so to show my overall progress.
Feel free to comment as you wish - good or bad feedback would be very much appreciated!
I must say, so far, I am slightly underwhelmed in terms of overall growth. I think the main point is the hair doesn't seem to be growing quite as quickly as the first time around. I suppose the key point is to stay patient, etc, etc and see how things are looking a further 6 months down the line...

Hi David, you look as though you have a lot of hair now, the second Ht is definately working and you're only halfway stage, try not to worry too much as the growth will speed up at some point.
Thanks for the update.

You should post side by side pictures before and after in one post...........would be easier to compare.

In all honesty that is exceptional result in my opinion and you still have more growth to come. If I didn't believe it I would not post this comment. Looks really good.

You did write good and bad much appreciated so here goes ;)

You are being completely unreasonable and maybe you had unrealistic expectations. But even with unrealistic expectations this clearly surpasses what anyone could expect in my opinion. If anyone looks at this result and does not think it is in fact fantastic they should not pursue a hair transplant.

Hope that wasn't too much..............relax it looks great.

Thanks everyone.
Topccat - class response; I like it! I suppose I'm just being greedy. In all honesty, I am dead happy really. One of the best decisions I ever made.
