After years of hesitation and skepticism with hair transplantation surgery, I finally took the plunge with FUSS. My surgery was performed with Dr. Feller on July 11, 2007.

I had done extensive searching on this board and others like it to gain more knowledge and conviction in going through with this surgery. This was a very scary, scary procedure for me but Dr. Feller did a good job in easing my concerns before and during the surgery.

I still can't believe I did it... Looking at myself in the mirror I'm happy that I went through with it and still wonder if I can pull it off before I go back to work in about 16 days. In all honesty, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

The plan originally was to fill in the frontal 1/3rd and forelock with about 2000 grafts. Dr. Feller ended up with 2400.

Thanks to all the regular posters like: Spex, Jotronic, Bushy, Hairroot,Bill and others who really help give this board the energy and wisdom that people like me need to be more motivated and educated.

I have posted some pics that are before and after.

Hey Tomtom, Welcomme to the forum!

I would personaly prefferd a little lower harline placement. But as usuall the work from Feller is good. I think it will be good once it grows out. Keep posting those photos so we can track your progress

Tomtom,

 

Welcome to our community and congratulations on joining the "real" hair club for men!

 

Dr. Feller is an excellent surgeon and I'm sure you'll be happy with your result.

 

Keep us posted.

Tomtom,

 

I think the work looks awesome. I personally like the idea of the higher hairline because it will always look natural and you will get more "bang for your buck". Less fu are needed to give you a full looking head of hair. What people have to remember is that you can always lower a hairline but raising it can be very challenging.

Thanks Nervous, Baboon and Bill. As for the hairline, all Dr. Feller did was trace the existing hairline that I had and filled it from the bottom of the hairline about an inch from the temples and 1.25 inches from the front. I actually thought it might have been a little low but Dr. Feller didn't think so.

 

So far so good. The redness is subsiding everday and the scar already has hair going through it.

Looks great

 

2400 should give you some nice coverage in the area!

 

Now, be patient
