Hi guys,
Great Forum!! Just wanted to make a post to update the troops about my growth to date as well as my recent second FUE session with the one and only Dr Feller. I had my first procedure with Dr. Feller about a 10 months ago. While I still had most of my hair I noticed that my hairline was thinning but wasn't sure how to go about fixing it. Spex and Dr. Feller's assessment was that my hairline was not well defined and that it would need to be thickened and lowered ever so slightly to fix it up. I opted for Dr Fellers FUE technique as many of you know, because I wanted the option to be able to shave my hair in the future and had heard nothing but great reviews about him on all the forums. Dr. Feller took out about 1800 grafts during my first visit (which took 2 days by the way) and planted them into my hairline and temples. There was no pain at all and I flew back to the UK the next day with no problems. In brief, the growth was fantastic and I was very very satisfied, but I caught the "hair greed" bug as Spex calls it and wanted more, like we all do. At first Dr. Feller wouldn't do it because he doesn't do large FUE sessions anymore, but since I was such an easy FUE patient (his words) he agreed to do it. I flew back to the States a few weeks ago and had Dr. Feller fill between the old FUE grafts and even lower the hairline a bit more. This time Dr. Feller did all the work in just ONE day which made life easier. Half of the grafts were single hair grafts, the other half were mostly 2 hair grafts with a few 3 hair grafts sprinkled in. Dr Feller was unbelievably meticulous in the hairline design just like before. I am ever so grateful to Dr. Feller and his staff for doing such a great job on me. The day was long and they were all very patient, but never did I get the sense they were rushing to try and finish. As Dr Feller would say when I would ask him about the time he'd answer "we finish when we finish, there's no rushing in this office". I think this doctor is a bit of a perfectionist. I recommend Dr. Feller very highly. Unlike the doctors I visited in the UK ! Dr. Feller was very forward, blunt, and not at all salesman like. He said what he would do, and he simply did it. I am going to try to be at the Feller open house in London at the end of January, so if anyone would like to meet with me I should be available. The last one was great and it was great to meet so many guys with similar experiences. Special thanks as well to Spex who i have liased with several times since my first op and he has always been a pillar of support throughout my journey, thanks for everything mate! Grow well everyone!! Hairroot My situation before Here are some pictures of my situation immediately after my 1st session My pictures at 10 months I saw someone do this before to highlight the difference between before and after pics... It really helps see the clear difference!! Here is a picture of my donor area which is amazing to be honest. There is no evidence of FUE work being done in this area. Several guys also examined it at the London Showcase in September and were all quite amazed! This is a picture of me just before my recent 2nd FUE session with Dr Feller. Immediately post op my 2nd session, 1400+ FUE Look forward to meeting a few of you guys at the Openhouse in January! Hairroot |

Welcome Aboard! Glad your have formally joined our forum and chosen to share your hair transplant experience with us.
I must commend you on your richly documented post. Those are excellent pictures noting your experience. Some of them are quite explicit and will give prospective hair tranplantees a real look at what an FUE procedure entails. You have certainly chosen a top rate surgeon. Dr.Feller is a highly regarded surgeon and poster on this forum. You could not have made a better choice. The two surgeries to augment your hairline will certainly make a substantial difference in your appearance. You did not state your age, but you appear young and it seems like you still have a good head of hair and donor area, so you appear in good shape in the event your hair loss progresses. Again welcome to our forum and looking forward to additional posts of your progress.

Thanks for the welcome. I intend to keep my experience well documented with pictures along the way.
I am 27 and do indeed have a great donor supply thankfully. Thanks again for the warm welcome. Hairroot |

Hello hairroot,
These photos are not new to me...I've seen them before on another forum perhaps? I am pretty certain I remember seeing your case and being VERY impressed with the work done. In fact, I've never really been an advocate of FUE, because I still think Strip is superior in terms of numbers and growth percentages, HOWEVER, Dr. Feller has been doing some great work with FUE and your case definitely proves this. I hope that you'll stick around and continue to keep us updated on your progress. Bill

Hey Hairroot!!!! Glad to see you made it to the "Dark Side" LOL!!!!! J/K
I have viewed your pics on HLH, and I find your posting to be refreshing and helpful. Great Job documenting your results!!!!! Keep Up the good work!!!!!!! Hey Spex, perhaps you can post Dr. Feller's view on FUE for some of the interested parties? I think it will be very helpful and informative. Cheers Mate!!!

I think Hairroots hairline was planted at approx 50/55 from previous conversations B Spot - Hey bud! I think i will let Dr Feller tell you his view on FUE mate as its best to hear it from the horses mouth.

I will keep checking in and keep you well informed on my progress but for now i have got a number of months ahead of me until i see the signs of new growth Take care and hope you all have a nice xmas hairroot |
