I organized some photos and cropped out some facial stuff. Here are the before photos.
You will notice that I am a Doctor's worst nightmare in terms of scalp hair color contrast. Plus my hair is very fine by nature. I also feel that my donor hair has thinned somewhat over the years.
The pictures were taken just moments apart and it goes to show how lighting and angles can make a huge difference. Pic 1 is taken in Dr A's office prior to surgery. Pic 6 is taken in the office for surgery with the very bright lights turn on.
Detailed forum discussion for these pics can be found at:
