Hi there. I'm new and I'm considering HT.

Thanks again pal.

Hi mattj. Here are some photos I took. I'm not looking to lower my hairline. Just even it a bit as it's better on the right than it is the left. Also, I need to have to side bits filled in so I have less of a 'v' formation. Here they are. Please excuse my botched photoshop editing!! I'm a little shy! I've taken shots of my hair wet, combed back, and of my hair styled the way I normally do it. There are also shots of the top and the donor area.

I'm not sure if my photos have attached correctly!! If not, can someone tell me how to do it??!! Sorry guys. Complete moron at this kind of thing. And many other things, in fact!

Nice one. Cheers mattj. I'll give it another try later.

[True Brit]

Right. Here it goes. I hope the photos will upload this time!

As I said, I'm 34 and have 2 previous HT's about 7 years ago. Here are some photos with my hair wet and slicked back. Plus some photos of my hair styled as I normally do. I am a class 2 on the scale and am looking for no more than 1500 grafts to fill in the sides of the hairline to make less of a 'v' and also straighten it a little. I do not want it lowered particularly, just filled out and straightened. I've also been on propecia for about 4 years. I hope this will help me to resist any shock loss.
Cheers gang.

More pics.

[mattj]

Hmmm. Based on those photos, it doesn't look like it lacks density at all. That's a darn good head of hair, especially so considering that we're looking at a transplant. I'd be interested to know how many grafts you received and what area was covered.

But perhaps the photos make it look better than it is. Even then, it's hard to see where 1500 grafts would be placed, but that's a judgement best left to a doctor.

Maybe I'm focusing on the very front when it's the temples that are the issue.

Thanks mattj. As I said, my case is not a severe one and I have had 2 previous procedures. To be honest, I've no idea how many grafts the doctor did for me. I just talked to him about what I wanted, he said no worries and we went for it. What I'm looking for now is to make the hairline very slightly lower by straightening the front and then filling in the side bits at the 'v'. I guess it's difficult to explain. I'm going for a consultation this week with Dr Ross. I'll post some more pictures of what I intend after he draws it in for me and then tell you what he says/recommends.
Cheers mate.
