This album contains some pre-op pictures, pictures taken on the day of my HT and post-op pictures at different stages from immediately post-op up to one year post-op |

Not much left at the front! This is after 25 years of hair loss.

This is a rare picture! I kept well away from cameras at this time (about 6 months pre-op) - just looking at that bald head made me depressed.
|
|
|
Time to do something about it!

After some research and meeting Spex, I decided to go with Dr Feller in New York. I saw some horror pictures of HTs that had been done in the UK and other European countries and decided not to risk it and go to the best on the other side of the Atlantic. Here is my new hairline drawn in.

Immediately post-op - 2700 grafts

|
|
This is what I looked like after the surgery. I had strip surgery, the strip was approx 26.5 cm long and just over 1 cm wide.

5 days post-op. Still very red but otherwise healing nicely without any complications.

The grafts are mostly still there but the shedding has begun.

|
|
Most of the grafts have shed, some remained and continued growing and some just remained there as stubble. The little bit of hair I had before is growing back.

|
|
At last! After 2 months and 3 weeks of suspense, hairs started sprouting! I felt much better at this stage when I could see hairs sprouting throughout my recipient area.

My scar healed up nicely. I was pretty much back to normal after 9 days when I had the stitches out. At 3 months I'd had a few haircuts and my hair was even and covered the scar well.

|
Once my growth started, it came in quickly and I could see a clear difference each week.

More hair! One side is coming in faster than the other and I was a bit worried at this stage. The growth evened out later on.

4 Months Post-Op With Flash

My hair looked more tranpsarent with flash at this stage.

The growth is really kicking in now and I now have more hair than before surgery.

|
My rapid growth continues! A big difference just after 2 weeks!

I don't usually have my hair brushed back like this but did it for this photo. Rapid growth continued up to 6.5 months.

This is how I usually have my hair... 6.5 months

7.5 months - comb forward

At 7.5 months I had enough hair to do a 'comb-forward'

9.5 months - after short haircut

This picture was taken by Spex at the London meeting. I had had a shorter than anticipated haircut and suffered some shedding after trying Nizoral shampoo, so had less hair at 9.5 months than at 7.5 months.

This shows how natural my hairline is, no pitting or bumps. I'm confident that this wouldn't be spotted as a HT even upon close inspection.

Here I am one year post-op with longer hair.
