Thanks Home1212. I appreciate the thoughtful feedback.

Hello John, Firstly, I'd like to thank you for commenting and providing your input/advice. Would I be correct in stating that you are from Louisville, KY? Ironically enough, I live in New Albany, IN which is only about 20 minutes north of Louisville. I would definitely like to learn more about your journey and the procedure you had done with Dr. Vories. I haven't figured out how to send private messages yet. What would be the best method for me to contact you in a more direct manner?

What you guys are brining up is exactly why I asked about punch size. I've heard that if the punch size is too large or areas are over-harvested then it can damage the donor zone for future procedures and cause scarring that is more noticeable than it should be. Using the FUE technique is supposed to limit scarring and ultimately speed up the healing process if I'm not mistaken, but if not done correctly it can have the opposite effects.

Kaledale1, Do you know what size punch was used for extraction in your donor zone?

Can anyone tell me what I need to do in order to send private messages and add people to my friends list?

Wow, for all manual work the time of completion is impressive. Thank you so much for you follow-up and the information. I would add you as a friend, but it seems I don't have permission to yet and I haven't figured out how to get it. I will be following your progress closely and I'm excited to see your progress. Thanks again for the information.

Thanks for sharing Kaledale1. I'm anxious to see your results. 730 to 5 doesn't seem bad for the amount of grafts you had placed. May I ask you a few questions? 1) Did the Dr. John Diep use any type of robot assistance during the procedure or was the procedure done manually? 2) In regards to post op care how long did they recommend you be off work and avoid any strenuous activity? 3) Will you be allowed to wear a head covering after the initial few days to conceal any redness, swelling, etc. until it subsides or will that cause issues with the grafts taking in the recipient area?

Pkipling, Thank you for sharing. It looks like you achieved tremendous results. Quite frankly, this has proven to be a pretty daunting task to say the least. It’s nice to have a community to be able to discuss this openly. Might I ask you a few questions about your procedure? 1) Was your FUE transplant conducted manually or was some sort of robotic assistance used? 2) How involved was Dr Mohebi with the actuall procedure? Did he extract the grafts from the donor zone as well as place them in the recepient zone(s)?

Hello ArochaAngel4247. Thanks for your response. Have you had a procedure done at this facility with this Physician?

Hello Fellow Members, I am here seeking counsel and advice for a FUE hair transplant. As with most men, I find a certain identity with my hair and have great concerns about balding or going bald. The stress it generates for me probably only contributes to the problem and ultimately I have decided to explore my options. I would say that I'm in the fact finding phase of my journey. Money isn't necessarily an issue, but I want to be sure that if I make this kind of investment I actually see results. This is absolutely why I will put in the time to do my research. If anyone could provide any advice/testimonials regarding reputable FUE physicians or their recommendation I would greatly appreciate it. I would prefer to stay in the US, but wouldn't necessarily rule out traveling abroad. Thanks in advance and God bless you all.
