No problem, like you i concentrated my HT`s on my crown, so i`m particulary interested as it mirrors my own case.

Cheers

Hey BM,

It is looking good mate, nearly all the grafts have come through now and it is just a case of waiting for them to mature.

I am still buzzing it to a number 3 every few weeks so I am waiting until I grow it a bit so I can do some updates with it styled. Either at 7 or 8 months.

Be good to see your updates. Reminder that crowns tend to experience slower growth than front for some reason.

Happy New Year!

I am nearly 8 months post op now and I have grown my hair out a bit.

These pics are with wet hair and then some with gel in after. I am very happy with how it looks but I know there is more to come. I remember from my first HT that it took ages to fully mature, past the one year mark.

Cheers BM. I remember from my first HT that it took ages to fully mature. You'll know this makes a big difference cos the hairs thicken and become a lot more visible. The single hairs in my crown swirl are there but aren't mature enough yet for my shitty camera to pick them up.

Now my hair is nearly sorted it is time to hit the gym. But I wonder if Dr. Rahal does those pecks, abs, and bicep implants..hehe

Yes with the crown the swirl hairs can take time to mature and show off the full result.Its nice though when you wash your hair, let it dry without styling and the crown whirl looks great which will be yours in no time.

As for Abs etc, You need to message Topcat about that.It would be good though if the doc was able to implant some.;)

Cheers bullitnut, much appreciated.

hdude, just seen your post but here is my 12 month update.

I am 12 months post op now and just have a few more months until it fully matures. I am keeping it very short until then and these pics are one week out from a buzz cut number 3 all over. I am thrilled with how it looks.

El Nino, I`m good thanks, thinking of a little temple corner work and maybe temple points.

Haven`t quite decided yet.

Cheers mate.

My crown looks very similar to the last pics and it has fully matured now. I will update again in May when I'm two years post op and the light is better for my crappy camera.

One bad thing though is that I have suffered some bad side effects from Finasteride and stopped it last July. But I haven't lost anymore hair yet.

So I am now rolling the dice with my genes and future loss. But I have the same hairline as my older brother and father who haven't suffered from MPB. So I am hoping I got the genes for my crown from somewhere else and the rest of my hair is from them.

Hope you are doing good too BN.
