Two years down the hair restoration highway and this is where I'm at.
I am 45 and I have had several previous surgeries dating back to the late 80's.

The work was done by Dr Knudsen in Sydney.

Rocky,

Thanks for sharing your results, which I think look very natural. I've met your surgeon Dr. Knudsen at many of the ISHRS meetings. He's a real cut up and very popular with his colleagues. But I don't recall ever seeing any of his patient's results on this forum.

I think we'd all like to learn more about Dr. Knudsen and his surgical technique. Could you tell us more about his technique?

Congratulations on your results.

Thanks pat for your compliments.

Dr Knudsen is a nice guy who does good work.
I have, as i mentioned in my original post, had previous surgery.
Dr Marzola performed scalp reductions and a flap on me in the late 80's / early 90's.
I was very happy with the results and very impressed with Dr Marzola as a surgeon. ( let's not forget that the much lauded Dr Wong from H & W fame trained under Dr Marzola .

Fast forward to January 2004.
I wanted to soften and make my hairline more natural. After consultations with all prominant Australian surgeons, I settled on Dr Knudsen of Double Bay, Sydney.

We decided on about 900 grafts which were placed in approximately the first cm of my hairline and also in the side lever area.

From the start, I liked Dr Knudsen's manner. He is very experienced and is very approachable.
He is as good as his word.

He was also involved in all aspects of the design and placement of the grafts.
I am sure my surgery with Dr Knudsen was meant to be. During the initial stages of my op, I was talking about some of the major surgeons who were doing great things in the US and Canada.
I don't know whether it is appropriate to mention this or not, but I mentioned the name of a particularly well known and regarded HT Dr.
Dr Knudsen said something to the effect of, " He is in Sydney at the moment. Would you like to meet him?"
Anyway, in a very short period of time, this very prominant DR came into Dr Knudsen's surgery and also worked on me.
Amazing.
This guy was a complete gentleman and a total champion.
As I said, my operation on that day was meant to be.

Back on track, post surgery, Dr Knudsen was always available to talk and provide follow up / supportive words.
Overall, a very positive experience.

I would also like to sing the praises of Dr Marzola as well.

Basically, all of the hair that you see on the top of my head is transplanted and is the result of Drs Marzola and Knudsen.

Just out of curiosity, do you have any before pics, and any pics after the flap procedure?
