Regular Member BlondeDude Posted November 19, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) I recently had 934 grafts transplanted by Dr. Harris in Denver, Colorado. The main goal was to strengthen my hairline as it has been uneven my whole life. He and his team did an excellent job and if I had to describe Dr. Harris, it would be a mix between a top notch surgeon and a fatherly figure looking out for your best interest both now and the future. You read about docs and their techs being friendly, but this group really made me feel at home. The environment was both warm and professional. If you are considering an FUE procedure I would highly recommend them. As a side note I am a perfectionist, I've done 100's of hours of research on this and other forums, I did not choose Dr. Harris at random. If you are considering FUE, I suggest you do more research on Harris and his team. I believe he and Dr. Feller are in an elite class for FUE.

Regular Member uselessgomez Posted November 19, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2010 Looks like a really good design. I like the irregularity of the hairline while giving you the cosmetic improvement you desire. I will follow your results. I've been considering Dr. Harris for myself. Thanks for posting and keep the updates coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sparky Posted November 19, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2010 What size punch did Dr Harris use? My Hairloss Website http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BlondeDude Posted November 24, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 24, 2010 I've taken a couple pictures for a one week update and also have more details on my surgery. I have a dense donor area which contributed to my 9.6% transection rate; Dr. Harris said even though he was using a .9mm punch, some of the surrounding grafts to the ones used were damaged due to density. For the blade in the recipient area, he used a .8mm and 1mm. The FUE count is as follows (the average being 2.2 hair follicles per graft); 283 1's 247 2's 327 3's 73 4's 4 5's I'll be posting more pictures at the one month mark, my donor area is already healed up and recipient area, although slightly red, looks good and I feel I'm on track thus far.

Regular Member uselessgomez Posted November 25, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2010 Donor area looks awesome. For one week out, that's impressive. Your recipient area is looking good. It's still red, but I bet that in another week or two there will be almost no signs of surgery at all. Which is really amazing when you think about it because you are very fair complected.

Senior Member RCWest Posted November 25, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2010 That's a lot of grafts in such a small area. It's gonna look great!

Regular Member BlondeDude Posted November 26, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 26, 2010 Thanks everyone, I appreciate the support! The scabs have fallen off now at 9 days. The growing follicles look healthy and I'm just waiting for them to fall out and go into hibernation for a few months. I'll be posting again at the one month mark. Cheers!

Regular Member BlondeDude Posted December 14, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 14, 2010 As promised, I have taken a few pictures for my one month update. The majority of the grafts have fallen out, the recipient site is still pink but fading. I am only using Nizoral shampoo as Propecia and Rogaine Foam have caused weird side effects that aren't acceptable to me. Everything at this point seems on track and hopefully in a month or two I'll see some progress. Instead of using concealer to cover up the red like suggested by Dr. Harris, I've been using L'oreal bronzer towelettes to slightly darken my fair skin and it has worked great. I'll be posting again at the second month mark. Happy growing to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BlondeDude Posted March 20, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2011 So, it has been 4 months since my surgery with Dr. Harris and so far there isn't much news to report. The recipient site is still slightly pink, there are a few hairs popping through here and there, but no coverage or growth yet. I know most growth comes now through month 8 so I'm just praying my investment starts paying dividends. I've posted a couple pictures.

ThinkingaboutHT Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 HI Guys,, I have been considering Dr. Harris. as well. Wondering if anyone else has had any experiences with him good or bad. Blondedude, any pictures now that it has been several months? Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 25 and am looking for similar work done, as I have no balding, but have always had a skewed hairline, which some Doctors won't work on until I'm older. Hope you get awesome results!

jonpas Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hey Blonde Dude, How are things going? If you get a chance, would you update us on your progress. I hope everything is as you expected it to be and then some. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chrisdav Posted February 26, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2012 Very surprised you even considered a hair transplant, but looks good so far anyhow. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member zenmunk Posted February 26, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2012 Odds are BlondeDude had a really good result from month 4 onward and has moved on from the forum. If he didn't, we'd have probably heard about it by now. I hope he revisits this thread with updates, but don't count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BadBeat Posted February 26, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2012 It seems like this happens a lot. Guys are really active here, get a good result, and then dump us all. Can't say I blame them really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonpas Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Something tells me that Blonde Dude is not going to let us down, good or bad. If it's good, he should do it for Dr. Harris whom he so admires. If it's not so good, he should come back to us for support. Whichever way, Blonde Dude, I'm counting on you. And so is my receding hairline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
