Steve I am not able to open the PDF in the Chrome browser.

Ok got it. That's is unusual I don't think I've ever seen something like that before.

Yeah I was surprised too. But I had to go with his opinion because surgeons as experienced as him have seen enough scalps to know when the chances of progression between the stable/unstable zone are high and when they are low.

Thanks again , I will keep this space updated with my progress.

Were you hoping to get more than 3500 grafts?

Nice man, Chicago is beautiful in August. Let me know if you need any assistance.

After seeing my average donor density we were targeting around 3700-3800. But managed to get around 3516-3518 not sure of the exact count.

Even with 3500 he was able to get a good coverage because I did not have to lower my hairline.

He's certainly not a "Sit back and watch this Home Alone 4 Bluray while I do this" kind of guy!

 

Looks great so far.

Thanks Matt,

I see that you have a procedure scheduled with him as well. Yes as Tom had been saying the surgery is the easiest part and that is so true. It was a breeze.

Today I complete exactly two weeks and I already feel great!.

So do you live in Chicago?

Congrats on your procedure! What is going on there in the first inch or so of hairline? For some reason my comp won't allow me to enlarge these pics so I can't get a closer look, but it looks as if there are no grafts in that area. Am I seeing things?

No you are not seeing things. If you look at my Pre Op pic that area is pretty dense and he said that hair in that part will stay no matter what. So he just outlined it with few single grafts to match the rest of the hairline and left out that inch.

Taco,

I will try to take a picture and upload it.

I had my hair transplant done by Dr. Raymond Konior last month. I am 32 and have been thinning on the top for almost 7-8 years now.

I tried some herbal hair treatment but in vain. So please don't waste your time on that. I did not try any FDA approved hair treatment.

Since I live in Chicago, it was easier for me to schedule consultation with Dr. Konior. I wanted to meet the other two top surgeons in Chicago as well but after talking to Dr. Konior and seeing the results on his website and reading all the positive reviews on the forums gave me the comfort that he is the man for the job.

Dr. Konior is a true professional and upfront in telling me that he will be able to cover the front and the scalp in one session and I might need another session if I wanted to cover the crown. I was fine with this approach. He also mentioned that I have really good hair quality and a very good candidate for hair transplant surgery.

Comes the day of the surgery. Everything went as planned. Dr. Konior and I sat down and decided that we are not going to lower the hairline. He thought it was fine and age appropriate. I thought so too. He is a very funny guy but once he gets his game face on he is all business.

I was on Valium and time flew. I remember probably only 30-40% of what went on that day. I took bathroom breaks and the Doctor and his staff made sure I was okay for the entire 12 hrs I was there.

After the surgery I was told that they were able to get 3500 grafts. I still need to get the graft breakup and pre op pics. I will upload that information as soon as I get them.

I have been healing well. It was been two weeks since the surgery and my staples and sutures were removed on Day 5 and Day 11 respectively.

I will be updating this space regularly. In the meantime if anyone has any questions about Konior or planning a trip to Chicago and needs assistance please let me know.
