    Hey there Alex,

    Yes, I was happy with the result of my first procedure.

    Call it "hair greed" though, but I had a second procedure to increase the density and change the shape of my hairline a bit to give it a more irregular appearance; a small widow's peak was added, the fronto-temporal areas were brought down a tiny bit and the existing transplanted area was reinforced.

    My second surgery was not done by Dr. Rahal, but that was not because he isn't an outstanding physician. It was moreso because the doctor I did choose for the second did not require shaving. Again, this isn't to say that Dr. Rahal doesn't do fabulous work; my first surgery could have been a stand-alone procedure for sure, but I wanted to refine it without having to go through the shaved hair recovery process which is very difficult, particularly as a female.

    Good luck in your recovery and let us know how you are doing!

    A cyst removal. That should do the trick. Hopefully your co-workers have something else to do besides worrying about whats going on underneath your cap. Before you know it things will get back to normal and you will have more hair. I hope everything works out well for you.

    Plum,

    Who did your second procedure unshaven?

    It would be unjust to accuse a female of hair greed.

    Hi Gillenator,

    I don't want to hijack this thread, but Dr. Simmons did my second procedure and he does not require shaving the recipient area.
