Hello Everyone, After 10 years of hair loss and accompanying agony, desperation and self-doubt, I have finally decided to take the surgical route to hair restoration. I have to say this forum has been a great source of detailed information on several aspects of a hair loss sufferer’s journey. So many success cases have inspired me and helped prepare mentally for this step. As for my case, you will be able to see from the pictures, I am a diffused thinner (unsure about the norwood pattern) and have lost serious density in the last 4-5 years. I have tried minoxidil in the past and had an irritated scalp as a result, I’ve always had an itchy scalp with dandruff so it just wasn’t for me. Generally meds do not go down well with my system, therefore I have decided to stay away from both Minoxidil and Finasteride. Now to Dr. Konior, the more I read about him and his practice, not to mention the many many impressive results and patient blogs, it puts me at ease with idea of cutting my head openJ. I have been in touch with his office since October, and I am scheduled for an FUT strip surgery on 14 March when I take the long flight from Kuwait to Chicago. I must admit he and his office upholds highest professional standards when it comes to patient interactions and providing timely feedback. Dr. K himself has gone out of the way to explain the different benefits and limitations of different methods and relevance to my case. We finally agreed on FUT given the extensive balding zone, I will need to optimize every available graft (FUTs followed by FUE), besides Dr. K believes based on the pictures and videos that risk of detectability is minimal based on my donor features. We are aiming for 3000-4000 grafts focused mainly on frontal to mid-scalp but fading all the way back. I will keep the forum posted on the pre/post-Op updates, however for now would request everyone to please review the pics and let me know what do you think, more specifically on the donor quality/density.
