Just went to Dr. Cooley for some advice on the matter of the scar and he suggested silicone injections along the area to improve the looks and I must say it has. It has not completely went away but it did help. Tried to take pictures and cannot seem to get a decent picture.

After getting to his office, the office area was lit up pretty brightly, it was difficult to see the "horseshoe" indention as clearly as I had at home and in the pictures above.

He wants to see me back there in 90 days. Must give him props for taking care of me.

Interesting. That’s my biggest worry with fut is how do you hide it? Fue into the scar isn’t always guaranteed but that’s all I can’t think of

When it gets a little longer you can mess it up a bit and it hides it some what. I would like to be able to wear my hair short like this and not worry about this stuff.

Like a 1 or 2 on the sides at a barber? 

Oh yes. That is a 4 there. Looking from the side you can not see it but from the back looks like I just took a baseball hat off. Checking on what can be done to correct it.

Can you see the scar at low guards? Like is it wide?

What do you mean "low guards"?

Haven't been here in a while. The hair looks the same. Happy with the results overall except the "horseshoe" indention in my hair at the back of my head. Longer or shorter it is about the same. When it is longer I can mess it up a little and it covers it some. Going to check on what can be done to fix this. It's my understanding that comes from the way it was stitched up.

Very good progress and you’ve still get a few months to see even more improvement! Are you able to get a picture of that scar? How does the back look in general?

Thank you. It is really hard to find any trace of the scar. I kept Neosporin on it while it healed and it really helped. I can try to get a pic of the scar soon and post it.

Very good growth  congrats 

Thanks I am really pleased with it.

Apologies. I didn't get the notification someone had left a message. Here are some pics I took about a month ago and I couldn't be more happy with his work. I still have some shock loss in the back though.

Had my surgery with Dr. Cooley on July 16, 2019. I've read several posts and looked at lots of photos. Here are some pics after the procedure, then monthly until now. The procedure was really painless. They take good care of you. You watch movies while they are placing the graphs. They stop and you eat some lunch as well. Cool stuff. I want to say it was about a 12 hour procedure. The next day after was great as well. They clean you up and talk to you about care etc. Looking forward to seeing the results.

This was right after the procedure

This was the next day after the followup/cleaning. You can see where the graphs were placed.

This was 11 days after the procedure. (Left side) Showing how the graphs have started growing. Hope when they come back after the shedding it is this full.

This is the first month mark. (Right side) As you can see, most of the transplanted hair has fallen out.

I noticed after a haircut that I have some shockless in the back. I didn't take any pictures of the scar. The scar is barely noticeable. I looked for a while before I found it. I will take some pics of the scar and put those up soon.

So far that is where I am. I will post pics on each months mark for a while. I am hoping the hairs come back as good as it was looking before the shedding.

Congratulations!  How is yours coming along so far?

Apologies on the slow response. Just saw it. Just passed the 2 month mark. Had it done July 16. Still have numbness in the recipient and donor areas. Also a little shockloss in the back. After the shedding it looks just like it did before the surgery. Trying to be patient. I know it takes a little while. But just got a haircut and it will be nice to see the new stuff come in.

Looking good. I think it's a little easier to see results with darker hair. I have lighter hair. Still not seeing anything yet. Had my procedure in July. I know it takes a while so I'm being patient.

I had a FUT procedure done with Jerry Cooley as well. Mine was in July. 5000 graphs. Everything you've written is spot on. Great guy and staff. I am going to make a thread and upload pics etc soon.

Looks good. Just had my HT done with Jerry Cooley. Great guy/staff !! Looking forward to seeing the results !
