This should be my final update. I am at the one year mark as of a few days ago. My hair looks better today than it did at 20 years old! I am incredibly happy with my result.

It's absolutely magnificent. I can't wait to have my FUE with Dr Konior in 2 weeks

Hi All,

Sorry I haven't responded for awhile. Busy busy these days. Thanks for the kind words, all. My HT journey was pretty mind blowing. I almost settled for a less expensive doctor who did not give me good advice and had I gone with him, I would surely have regretted it. Fortunately Dr. Konior was the closest recommended doctor to me and it turned out that he was also one of the best as his work became more widely known. My first FUT session convinced me that HTs done by the right doctor were indeed legit and life changing. After my second FUT, I hoped and assumed I was done but in the ensuing years, I lost more hair - in my crown and in my part. I have never taken propecia nor have I used minoxidil (outside of the first month after each surgery) so its not too surprising that I lost some ground. My last FUE surgery with Dr. Konior in March 2019, right as the pandemic was hitting, was perfectly timed. I got it in and then got to work at home during those awful ugly duckling head shaved days. Perfect.

The third surgery really shored up my part (I can go running again without a hat as the wind blowing no longer shows a weak spot - I love that). I was hoping that I would be able to permanently retire the hair fibers but my crown is still not perfect (is there such a thing with HTs?). Without fibers, it does not look bald as it is covered with hair but it can look like I'm thinning there. Kinda depends on my haircut (which I do myself mostly only semi-succesfully) and my growth cycle. If I dab on a minimal amount of fibers, my hair looks perfect so that's pretty nice. Sometimes I throw some on when I go out and sometimes I don't as I'm not really bothered by it much these days. You kinda have to be above me to see that spot and that's not a view that most people get. Also, I'm 54 and don't have to have perfect hair. But it is very nice to look in the mirror and kinda like what's looking back atcha. That said, I have several friends who shaved their head bald as they gave up on hair and man, they totally rock it. It helps if your head shape isn't that of a lumpy potato, alas which mine is. Anyway, here's some crappy current photos of where my hair stands now after 3 sessions. The last two are where I started from for perspective. Cheers to you all. I hope all of you are doing well!
