Regular Member Rockwell Posted April 2, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2006 The Boom Headshot was a joke because I was taking a PIC of the top of my head.You muat be a CS player:P I play AA the best game of all. Troy- I am going to Dr. Konier in Chicago to have my TP done. It's been a 4 month wait since he only does 1 per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member troy Posted April 2, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2006 I have only seen good things about him. I can remeber being full of anxioty myself. Now that I have been through it, I wouldnt be woriied at all to do it again. I think the biggest fear was the unknown. I think with Konier you be in good hands.

Regular Member Rockwell Posted April 2, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2006 Thanks troy! by looking at my pic would you think that 2000 grafs would fill the bald area on the front of my forlock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairbank Posted April 3, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2006 From what I've seen Konior does excellent work........especially the hairline. Can you post anything clearer?? From what I'm seeing, just a guess, but I'd want more like 2500-3000. In the end I'm sure Doc Konior knows his stuff and will lead you down the right path. You may want to find out how many sq cm of coverage this will provide you with. For hairline/front work I'd think you'll want 45-55 sq cm at least.

Regular Member Rockwell Posted April 8, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 8, 2006 This is day 4 not much shockloss but Dr. Konior and his staff worked 10.0 hours on my hair without many breaks. I am very pleased with the outcome and I would recommend them to anyone considering a hair transplant. All posters on this site has been a great help and without all of you I dont think my experience would been so pleasurable. Thanks again to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Rockwell Posted April 11, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 11, 2006 Quick question for you guy's. I been waiting for the shockloss in the front but I dont see any yet. Could it be because I spray hair 10 times per day w/ salene & Minoxidil Extra strength? I also take 1 mg of propecia. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairbank Posted April 11, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted April 11, 2006 Shock loss can occur anywhere from 10 days to 2 months. From what I've read on others experiences, you'll usually notice it sooner than later. Even HT hair gets shocked out so I'm not sure there's anything to aid in preventing it. For me, I noticed it most when my grafts were shedding around the 2 week mark. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones and not experience much, but be prepared. Your recent set of pics provides a better view of Dr. Konior's work. It looks great! From what I've seen, he does super hairline work..........I think you'll be pleased with your results.

form1025 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Is shock loss permanent or transient. Originally posted by hairbank:Shock loss can occur anywhere from 10 days to 2 months.

Senior Member hairbank Posted July 31, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2006 It depends.....................if you have MPB hair that is in the final stages of loss and it gets shocked out after HT surgery it may very well not come back. On the other hand, I had HT hair from HT #1 (along with some native hair) get shocked out during HT #2 and it came back fine. Many start Propecia pre-HT to try and regenerate or strengthen their existing hair to avoid permanent shock loss.........something I did not do for HT #1 but I wish I had.
