Hi Sunny - I had a 3988 graft FUT session with Dr. Ron's brother, Dr. Paul, on 10/17/2014. Feel free to read my posts and also let me know how you are doing. I also drove to SMG from the Chicago area for my procedure, as I read and heard so many good things about the Shapiros and the staff at SMG after literally years of research and considering a procedure. I was in the chair for 11+ hours on a Friday (finished past 8:00 pm!), and I was thrilled at their commitment and professionalism.

Now the long waiting period begins, but I am healing well and that is a good step 1. I hope you are healing well also.

Take care.

You have great temple peaks and the Dr. will successfully bring your hairline down nicely for a completely natural look. Konior is known for great hairlines as well, even though I went to Shapiro due to a friend's recommendation. To me it looks like 3000 is a lot for where you are right now. I would bet it ends up being less than that for now (and he puts you on Propecia for the crown), and you save more donor area for a procedure 10 years down the road. We all continue to lose hair as much as we fight it, so having a good stock in reserve is important.

Don't worry about being off work for 6 months. You will shed the graft hairs in a few weeks and then they slowly grow back over 3-12 months in fairly natural way.
