Hair Triggered

It looks natural and the coverage is great from where you started. You’ve had 7,000 grafts transplanted over two FUTs which have yielded a fantastic result. Were the graft counts what Dr. Cooley initially suggested or did you press for higher numbers? I’m also curious what Dr. Cooley estimates you have left in your donor, that is, do you have enough scalp laxity for a third FUT, and how much can be extracted via FUE? 

He was just trying to get as much as he could safely per strip. ~ 3500 per strip. He said another fut would yield safely about 1500 but 2500 with Fue. 

August 2022 3242 grafts fut in crown 

1-hair grafts 794

2-hair grafts 1339

3-hair grafts 736

4 hair grafts 373

This is a couple of days after my last haircut which is a skin fade so there's no hiding any sort of scarring.  

Beyond thrilled with Dr. Cooley's work.  

 

That looks great man. Cooley is one of the best. 

It was tight for about 2 months but eventually everything goes back to normal. Wife can’t even find my scar. However I do scar well. 

Awesome. You went to the best. Get ready to very pleased. I was a NW 6 and now I have full coverage after 2 fut from dr. Cooley. I will post pics of 2 fut procedure of crown in few months after 1 year mark. 

Donor looks good 

Congrats. It’s looking good. Had my surgery with Dr. Cooley. I had a great result with being NW6. Can you show pictures of your current donor? 

Great write up. Dr. Cooley is great. I’ll be having my second surgery on the crown in approximately a month. I’m looking forward to your progress. Keep those pictures coming.

A vote for Dr. Cooley. Great guy

Today is my 1 year anniversary from surgery. Very happy. Dr.Cooley and team are truly elite. I will not post again until crown surgery.

This is the linear scar. I have gotten to a 2 guard with no reveal. I don’t wear my hair that short in the back however. Usually a 4 guard is more my  taste. Thanks for following.

Not much change since last time. This is 11 months. Will post 1 year pics next month. Will do second fut in August.

Looking really good.

Thanks Melvin! Enjoying your journey as well.

10 months. 

Truly an inspirational story! I’m cheering for you!

8.5 months. Coming in longer and stronger. 

How’s that crown coming along? Any new update?

I would consult with Dr. Cooley. I think he can fix this. He uses electrolysis to get rid of the bad angle hairs and he can repair your hairline. Look up repair cases from him on this forum.

That is excellent, how many grafts did the Dr. recommend for your crown? 

2500-3000 depending on laxity. He will fill in crown from outside in. Center will not be as dense as front. He said this is the more natural approach.

Looks fantastic. Think you will go for another procedure for the crown?

I’m scheduled for another fut in August.

Coming in nicely. I think in the next few weeks it will really blossom! Thanks for sharing!

This was for aerosol dry shampoo only

Seven months. I’m happy with it. Still feel more hairs on scalp coming through.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!
