Hi,

i had my second session with Dr.Heitmann.

I get 3200 grafts for my crown and midscalp. My plan was a light coverage for the crown and to strength the midscalp. After stopping medics 1,5 years postop ht nr.1 i lost my crown and the midscalp became thinner.

I was very happy, that Dr. Heitmann get 3200 grafts with 6500 hairs out of the strip. I had a good laxity and when i am sitting here and feel donor, i have to say, there is laxity left :)

I didn't know that you were lined up for another session. Looks fantastic. That will certainly make one hell of a difference and it looks like you have plenty of donor too. What is the total grafts that you have had in both sessions?

7 month postop HT#1. I had nearly a full crown ... I was a great responder on Fin.

U can see it on my webblog on htn. After month 8 it went down and at that time i stopped Finasterid.

@NN: Totally 6800 grafts and around 13000 hairs

If you were a great responder on meds, why did you stop? Were you having some of the side effects? I was having some sides myself so I limit what I take and I believe that it helps. I now take it 2x/week. I don't believe that I have ever grown hair but I think that it limits the loss.

Thx NN,

i have too many side effects of Fin ... ! All u know, have catched me.

Perhaps i will need one final surgery, but i hope, that this session was the last one. Dr. Heitmann told me, that i will have enough donor, if my sides or crown will go down.

I just want a good illusion. I know that i have fine hairs and only 2hairs per graft.

This is a subject little touched upon, getting a "hair transplant" whilst depending on medications and then having to give them up due to complications. This could be a major downfall for any patient who hasn`t sufficient donor hair left.

Thanks for sharing this info. The work performed looks good.

Best regards Chappers.

Hi,

here is an update of my progress. I think i left the doldrums and now i am on the right way. I am now 14-15 weeks postop and on the following pics u can see the fine hairs coming out. Under different lights and angels u can see a lot of hairs filling the crown nicely :) I am very pleased so far.

I only take Minox and Pantostin 1x time in the evening since 2 years now.

Thx for your comments and happy christmas !
