Hey guys it has been 6 months since my surgery with Dr. Vories. Everything seems to be growing in nicely. Here are some pics. The before pics are on the left side.:)

Looking great buddy!!

Thank you David. And congrats on your new growth as well. Looks great. I have been following your updates.

Thanks hairlosscpa..

All scabs have fell off and everything seems to be going fine. Donor is itching but this seems to be normal. Now the waiting game begins....

Looking good buddy!!!

Hey adonix, I generalized the placement of the grafts placed by Dr. Rahal and Dr. Hasson. I really didn't feel like going into that much detail of the exact placement of the grafts. If you go to my profile and check out hairloss pics this will give you better insight and exact placement of Dr. Rahal's surgery. He did not touch the frontal forelock and that is where Dr.Vories placed grafts on this surgery. Check out my before and after pics on my profile..

Hey 911fan, If I had to start my journey over, I would have definitely chosen FUE. I agree that the scar from a strip is unpredictable especially after multiple surgeries. Here is a better pic from where it stretched.

Hey Windjammer thank you. My donor supply is limited and my scalp is tight because of the previous strip surgeries. I went to Hasson & Wong in 2003. At that time they were one of the best docs to go to. (Still are IMO) Dr. Hasson planted all grafts in hairline and mid-scalp. Very happy with reulsts. My hairloss progressed dramatically so I went to Dr. Rahal in 2011 to work on hairline and mid-scalp. Also happy with results, but the scar did stretch. If I was getting another strip probably would have chosen Dr. Konior but I was limited to FUE. I was really impressed with the results Dr. Vories is producing and he is strictly FUE. I try to choose a doctor for their specialty according to my needs if that makes sense. I am extremely happy with the results of my surgeries. I would probably be a Norwood 5a. And I would have a little patch of hair on my head if not for the surgeries. The fin is really working well too. So all my grafts were planted in hairline and mid-scalp.

Thanks guys for the encouragement. I will keep you guys posted in the upcoming months. And win200 the lowest scar was actually my 1st Ht from the doctor who really butchered me up. I think that is way too low to extract donor hair from. The middle scar is from Dr. Rahal and the top is from Hasson & Wong. Not sure why Dr. Rahal did not use the H & W scar. I think he felt is was too high. My last scar from Dr. Rahal actually stretched a lot on the left side, can't tell in pics but after 3 FUT surgeries it is bound to happen. I totally agree that one scar would have definitely made my donor area look better.

Hey Guys, I wanted to share my experience with Dr. Vories. I will not go into great detail as others did. It would kind of be redundant. But as others shared Dr. Vories and his staff are true professionals. This is my 4th HT. The first one was done about 15 years ago (FUT). This was before I did any research and before I found this website. I had a horrible experience. The doc really butchered me up. Don't even remember his name. (1200 grafts). After doing some research and finding this website I had another HT done by Hasson & Wong. Dr. Hasson actually performed the surgery. (2800 FUT) This was in 2003. My hairloss progressed and decided on another surgery in 2011 by Dr. Rahal. 2556 FUT. Which leads me to my last procedure done by Dr. Vories. 1500 FUE. My donor hair was limited but Dr. Vories was able to get 1500 grafts. He also removed some unwanted grafts in temple aea. I started Fin about 4 months ago. I am bald and thin in the crown but the Fin has really helped without any side effects. Wished I would have started it sooner. All my HT's were done in mid-scalp and hairline. Mostly like will do BHT in the future for scar repair and crown. As my journey continues I just want to thank this forum for information needed to make tough decisions. (eg. Choosing a doctor, to take meds or not to take meds). Do your research.. And big Thank You to Dr. Vories and his Staff......

Looks great. I am also from Philly and just had my surgery done with Dr. Vories. I am actually still in Mt. Pleasant. I had 1500 grafts in hairline and mid-scalp. He told me someone from Philadelphia was just here. I figured I would find out who it was on here. Lol. I had a great experience as well. Happy Growing buddy....

I just booked surgery with Dr. Vories in September. He is going to start charging $5 a graft after labor day. Good Luck with your decision.

Great info Doc..
