  1. Actually it was just under 2000 grafts. He was adamant we only do 1500 grafts, I wanted more (didn't want to do multiple procedures). Most doctors would just say "yea, I'll take your money", but he wouldn't. He said something like- "it increases the odds of the roots survivability by not overpopulating therefore competing for nutrients". At the end of the procedure he told me he was able to get closer to 2000 safely. Here is a photo of the coverage area (right after the procedure). The grafts only extend to the middle of my head (take my hair line on the side and draw a straight line over the top of my head, that's pretty close to the implant area.) I was in the Navy at the time, I only took 1 week off from work. It didn't stay red very long.
  2. All bravo goes to Dr. Vogel. He called me personally (from the airport) the day of the surgery to see how I was doing, gave me his personal cell number if I needed anything, when I called the office he personally answered questions I had. He IS a top class artist! I only take propecia. I actually beat my hair up pretty good (I dye my hair about every 2 weeks, I use hair putty products daily) and it still shows signs of thickening. Thank you!
  3. This is me!!! Yesterday I had a follow-up appt with Dr. Vogel which I couldn't make (moved to Arizona). I decided today to upload the before and after photos (above) to this forum (given this is where I first learned of Dr. Vogel). Dr. Vogel deserves the highest of praises. It was truly an amazing experience. I think about the surgery every day, my only regret is not doing it sooner. Thank you very much Dr. Vogel, you've made a HUGE impact on my life. (attached picture taken today, no product, freshly out of the shower).
