    I'm at 6 months now and will be having photos taken later this week.

    Until then, as it's been a while, I thought I'd share a couple of snapshots I took the other day.





    In the UK it's been hot and dry for well over a month - that is until recent days. I'd forgotten what rain was like and I'd also forgotten how I used to fear it for how bad my hair looked when wet. It would really expose my hairline recession. Now it's no problem at all, and in fact I like having wet hair.

    Cool Welcome back Matt!!

    I've heard from various people that you get a better yield from FUT but I'd rather not have such an invasive procedure.

    KeepHoping-

    It all totally depends on the amount of work you're getting done and the surgeon you're going to. I personally had a strip procedure with Dr. Rahal, and the results far exceeded my expectations. I also needed an extensive amount of grafts for good coverage though (almost 4800), so it was important to me to be able to do a big procedure all at once, and to get a great yield. I also wear my hair longer, so the scar was never going to be an issue for me.

    I think whatever route you decide on, Dr. Rahal is excellent at FUE and FUT, and will produce a phenomenal result for you either way. It really depends on your goals with how short you want to cut your hair in the future, etc. But even a Rahal scar is barely noticeable at lower lengths.....I cut my hair to a 2 guard, and can barely find the scar. I plan on updating my results this evening so you can see where I am at currently; 8 months post-op from my strip procedure. I'm sure Matt will chime in with more info/advice though about his recommendations on FUE!


    Matt,

    You already know how I feel, but your hair turned out amazing! Really great to have you back in the forums as well, glad your life is returning to normal a bit!! You must be thrilled with the result, as it looks like it's already a 12-month result! Woot!

    Wow, thanks for posting Matt and congratulations on a successful transplant! These photos are very encouraging since I'm contemplating an FUE operation as well, but was hesitant since the general consensus seems to be that FUT is more effective.

    Just out of curiosity, how long did your procedure take and was it one operation or multiple? Also, how was your recovery period, how long did it take and did you experience any significant shock loss?

    Also just a follow up, did they have to shave or trim down the donor area prior to extraction? It appears that you keep you hair relatively short as is (based on your pre-op photos). I'm just wondering for my own reference, as I'm seriously considering the operation myself. Also, how long did the entire procedure take? And was it noticeable that you had an operation done? Any insight you could provide would be extremely beneficial!

    Once again, congrats on your amazing progress. I'm seriously happy for you!

    Great result, congrats! Apologies if it has been mentioned on here but have the meds stopped any future loss so far? If so, what are you on?
    Thanks
