Prob a 3 year update.  Couldn’t be happier 

@ Melvin:  I really want to thank you for your time and energy you devote to this site.  Your consistent and fair moderation allowed this site to be the best resource when I was researching options and assisted me to become a well-informed patient, which helped me achieve what I feel a superior result!  Thank you!

Very natural, also from an extremely low number of grafts. Do you know if she performs FUT surgery? Also potentially what are the prices like?

No idea, her results are so good FUE I would go that direction if that’s what she is good at!

Looks great man! I’m happy for you, I just had my FUE done with Dr. Nadimi 8 days ago and I’ve been very pleased with the healing process. Starting to dry more and this morning was the first time I could gently massage with shampoo. I’m still very reluctant to touch them! Did you use aloe Vera at all to keep moisturized? 

I didn’t use anything, but I live in Florida so it’s generally pretty humid. (Dry skin doesn’t exist here!)

Just shy of month 8 , found another before shot as well for comparison.  Couldn’t be happier with Nadimi , she should be on everyone’s shortlist!  Wish everyone good luck!!!

6 months......the outcome far exceeded my expectations.

Thought I’d post another pic, 5.5 months post op.....couldn’t be happier

Here are additional pre op photos, I don’t have many (I’m sure I deleted most that showed my hairline unfavorably). These are 4 and 5 years ago.  I’m not sure the single preop photo I took is an accurate representation 

@transplantphil....no I think it’s just different lighting

5 month update. Couldn’t be happier.  Far exceeded my expectations!!

At 1978matt:  wow, what a great result!  (I just read your thread)

This is incredible.  Most people on the 3rd/4th day have swollen faces and scabs all over the recipient area. Makes me want to fly all the way to Chicago so I can have a similar experience.  

Hi Mr Zennie,  ....most of her work is super clean, but I think mine was exceptionally clean.  Hardly any cleaning was needed 1 day post op.  She is very meticulous and takes her time.  I tried to find some pics but all I have is the immediate post op and day 5 both are posted already here.  I flew up to Chicago from Florida and it was certainly worth the travel.  No swelling, maybe a little redness but certainly nothing like some of the other examples I’ve seen

Hi 24,  I’m not exactly sure what happened to them specifically.  I can tell you about  the 2.5 month I woke up and noticed a FOREST of baby hairs, and by 3.5 months I was ecstatic.  I can also tell you the waiting sucks at about where you are time wise, and self doubt certainly crept in for me.  Just eat somewhat healthy, limit UV exposure and try to stay as patient as you can.  

Konier maybe?  I couldn’t imagine being happier with Nadimi at 4 months so she gets my vote

4 month update:  so happy with results, the pics don’t do it justice.  Lots more to come as the hairs are fine and short.  Glad to be at the 4 month mark, Cannot express how the waiting sucks around month 2!!!!

3.5 months.....it gets better everyday!

Yeah, I’m ecstatic!  I’ve got TONS of baby hair coming in.....super fine but so many that my thin and bald spots are diminished.  You’re gonna be impressed with Nadimi!  The second month of waiting stinks though!

What a difference 1 month makes.....at 2 months I didn’t want to post a pic because I looked slightly worse than pre op,  to being so excited at month 3 I’m actually posting a touch early.  (4/11 was surgery, today is 7/8)  The front crown peak is getting thicker and the temple line has lowered.  The split pic is today on left, pre op on right.  I have to confess I was getting anxious as I could only tell a difference in the mirror in the last 10 days!  I’m back to excited again!!!

I was going to post month 2 photos surgery date 4/11 (today is 6/12) but there is absolutely no change in appearance from month 1, although I do have numerous tiny hairs just poking through.  I’m excited for the time to pass so I can start seeing the results   I will post an enlarged pic of some new growth.  I am happy that I am seeing new growth this early in the process

Hi Payam,   I don’t mind disclosing as it’s been widely discussed on this forum.  she is $9800 for the first 1500 then $5 per additional graft.  She works with Konior and had several months waiting when I booked, so I would anticipate her prices going up as her results have been extraordinary, learned from one of the best and has plenty of demand.

Thanks Bill.  I think at 6 weeks post op (the pic I believe RameshK is referring) May be a bit premature to comment on density.....

Hi 24!  I look exactly the same as 1 month unfortunately, which is slightly worse than pre op!  Probably payback for all my delayed gratification speeches to my kids through the years!!!  I’ll post another comparison shot in a couple days at my 2 month mark, but no noticeable change apparent yet, though close up reveals new growth, sorta like 4 day whisker stubble. (Hopefully the resolution will show it). Moderate occasional itchiness at the recipient site, which I’m optimistically interpreting as growth.  I am taking pre natal vitamins as a side effect is hair growth!!!!

Here is a pic on the donor area taken immediately after a haircut a few days ago.    On the forum guys have talked about punch size and scarring with other physicians.  Dr Nadimi used a punch small enough I could barely see where they were extracted  and there is zero scarring.

Today is Four weeks exactly, I think I’ve shed just about all the grafts.  They shed just about overnight, on day 19 or 20.  I was thinking I might be the exception and not shed any because the grafts were actually growing.  I think I’ve got some frontal shock loss but my wife tells me that isn’t the case.  I’m anxious for the result!  I tried to edit 2 pics side by side for comparison.  The first is immediate post op and the second is today (4 weeks post op)

@RecessionProof no, after the first concern of “bumps” and washing more, that is all I’m doing.  I do live in Florida so the humidity may have an impact.  According to her instructions I can start  foam minoxidil in a couple days which I will do...
