I notice that you had a prior FUT. How did this turn out? Your current results are very good!

Thank you!!!! Yep. Did a small FUT procedure with Dr Keene way back in 2007!
 

I was very happy with the results, hence why I went back to her. 
 

However, after about 10 or 11 years more of my native hair fell out. I was told the TEVA finasteride had some issues around that time. I recently switched to proscar and it’s been much better.

sorry I'm a lil confused; the first post states May 2020 was the procedure but 1 year pics weren't shared; safe to assume procedure was 2 weeks ago?

Updated with 1 year pics 

No she didn't. I always trust an expert's opinion in my life. 

No. I'm posting the 1 year post-op pictures once they send them to me today. Hang on a bit. 

I want to say there was an issue with the manufacturing of TEVA specific finasteride. About 1-2 years ago. 

2.5mg every other day. Not sure about the bruising, it is a surgery. Not much pain during the procedure. Just a little nagging headache for a few days after. 

38 at the time of the HT in 2020. Tomorrow I'll put up the 1 year post op pictures. 

On May 9th 2020 I had a hair transplant procedure with Dr. Keene. We did 2400 total FUE grafts - 1200 in the frontal regions and the other 1200 in the crown. 

Dr. Keene is an excellent surgeon who really cares about you, your situation, the results, the industry, etc etc. If you're thinking about getting a hair transplant, you should put her on your interview list. 

And the staff -- they are awesome! I think everyone is wonderful in the group, but Nicole definitely stands out as someone who really makes you feel comfortable and makes the whole process a bit more enjoyable and fun :). Ok, so let's not leave out more great people like Lisa, Savannah, Ube, and Bernice (not sure i got everyone, sorry!) who are also exceptional. 

For anyone struggling with hair loss, I hope this helps! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. 

Let's start with pre op pictures....

Now for some photos 2 days after surgery....

BELOW are the 1 year post op pictures from Dr. Keene's office

BELOW are a few 1 year post op pics I took myself to show the length as the above pictures were fresh from a haircut that may have been cut too short...

Here's a direct sunlight shot.    

Dan -- ditch this doctor. I've had 3 transplants over the past 13 years. First one was by a novice, who did 900 grafts back in '07. Although he wasn't an incredible surgeon, those 900 looked better at 6 months than your 1400 does at 6 months. And that was 13 years ago! 

My last two procedures were from Dr. Keene in Tucson. Just completed my third procedure with her 4.5 months ago for 2400 grafts. Will create a thread for you to see the results once I get to 9 months -- but honestly man -- give her a call or email.

After I was unhappy with my 900 grafts back in '07....i started to lose hope.....but took a chance with her......she did 1500 more grafts in 2008.....and it was like a miracle. That lasted 12 years.....and like I said just needed some recent work done...and it's already coming in nicely. 

Don't lose hope man, just go use the best. One life man.
