Thanks Mars,
Like you said the pics give a clearer picture. Do yo thin you will be getting anymore work done?
Gotta say that your hair looks good croped short all over, you got the right head shape aswell.

Hi richfrog thanks for the comments.

I dont think my hairline will need work again and ive no hairloss else where,as for the donor scarring smg did wonders repairing it but it is impossible to repair all scarring especially when my donor density is not good,if next yr im still bothered with one or two areas smp in these areas is something i would def consider or maybe beard grafts for density,i dunno can smp do anything for patchy donor area unless i was buzzing it to a zero,i like to keep my hair to a #1 back and sides,it will never look like it did pre dhi but i would like to do as much as i could because as you said a buzz cut does kinda suit me.

Good to see those wayward grafts punched out and put to good use.

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes Mars.....Unfortunately our story is much to common

nieve, young and desperate to help ourselves with something we are uncomfortable with

I don't know if the non quality docs understand they are playing with peoples lives and emotional well being

As for now you may want to check back with SMG (Not sure if they offer it yet) or you may want to contact DR Jerry Cooley

He just started doing larger sessions of the plucking technique and may be help full in adding some hair to your white dots..

I was one of his test patients and had several placed into multiple white dots and into the center of my strip scar......cant say for sure if they had grown in the dots but I did get multiple hairs grow in my scar......so its plausible ,,,..I still need to go for my in person review...

Thanks everyone for the comments,i appreciate them very much.

The next pics are somewhere between 5 months and ten months in no particular order.As you can see their wasnt that much of a difference in that time,i think by 6 months i was pretty much done.

Looks good mars......BTW...How DO the hairline punchout marks look..........any scars/marks?



Did Shapiro use Acell?

 

[mars]

Thanks bm!

pvt..i have no visable scarring at all,.8mm punch was used,being honest im suprised i have zero visable scarring i was expecting some and i was unsure whether punching out pitted grafts would get rid of the pit but it did and the skin healed perfectly flat..are you thinking of punching out some grafts?

 

[pvtpoint2010]

yes ......was thinking of doing about 10-15 .........do you remember if Acell was used ?

mine are somewhat larger then yours ........had some removed years ago and got some scaring

want to try a few more ,.

 

[mars]

No acell was used,i personally think its a complete waste of money.

Hi Mars,

When you get a chance, can you take some photos showing your hairline. Comb your hair back so your hairline can be seen. This way we'd be able to see that your skin healed up fine from the punch outs.

The pics you posted are nice and clear. Thanks for documenting your progress.

 

[mars]

Hi janna

I will take some photos in a week or two when everything should be completly healed,i may have a pic taken this yr,il give a look.

 

[mars]

The best i have for now,old hair line is marked,around 150 grafts punched out in this area.

 

[janna]

Excellent - thanks!
