Bullit,

Great write up my friend. That was nice of you to take the time and thoroughly explain everything. Perfect for the newbies that are curious about the whole process.

I too find it amazing to see your before and after side by side. What a dramatic change. The 2nd procedure will only better things. I am so happy that you have had things sorted. Very nice of everyone involved. Spencer Kobren and SMG are top notch.

Keep us posted with your progress. Heal well.

thanks buddyZ:B i enjoy doing the write ups and i feel its important for potential HT patients to know exactly what to expect from another patients perspective

warm wishes bullit

How did it go getting the sutures out?

 

[bullitnut]

thanks guys the suture removal went really well, the nurse was very nice and commented on how good the ht looked...



she also said the scar was very clean....just a few little scabs now but other than that its great. The removal wasn't painful and was fairly quick.

ive taken a pic of my donor just after i got out of shower so its still a little damp.

Its hard to take pics of the actual scar on your own but i will try and get some up later with the help of our lass

Must add its a fantastic feeling getting them out.

 

[bullitnut]

also my crown is healing fantastic with no scabs im aware of this time and im thrilled with just how quick everythings geting back to normal



warm wishes bullit

donor dry

 

[Sparky]

so what does your hairline look like slicked back, are you gonna add more to the hairline at some point, because i'm sure one time I asked you about it, you said you were goinjg to.

 

[bullitnut]

my hairline was going to be my priority this time with a light coverage to crown.

But as my laxity wasnt great, i had to decide upon which i wanted to address the most crown or hairline.....i chose the crown as i wanted coverage over density and i wear my hair to the side or forwards anyway

I did have some planted in the widows peak area but not too many, my plans are to address the hairline on my next visit.

That being said my hairline looks completely natural and im happy with it, i just wanted to add a little density and lower it very slightly but my laxity wasnt great

 

[Sparky]

so another strip or fue next visit?

 

[bullitnut]

strip mate ill have to do plenty of excercises though as my scalps getting tight now.

Dr Paul says i have approx 1000-1300 as Janna stated earlier

Bloody Norton didnt help::;mb

 

[Sparky]

Norton didnt help anybody except himself.

 

[Bigmac]

Looking great mate,glad the removal went smoothly.

 

[Bigmac]

Your donor area looks in very good shape now with Nortons old scar tissue removed.

 

[bullitnut]

thankyou bigmac, its such a relief to know the old tram line scars are a thing of the past thanks to drs Ron and Paul

 

[bullitnut]

well guys, its now been three months since stage two of my repair with SMG...everythings healed fine this time round too, obviously not much growth being only three months post op which is to be expected... but i will upload some pics in a few days to show my progress thus far

warm wishes bn
