Senior Member hairthere Posted July 19, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Things are slowly starting to progress. I have noticed I am using less Dermatch. I also feel lots of stubble. First here are some pre, and post-op from Dr. Feller. Then the current pics are just out of bed, nothing in my hair (no product, concealer, etc.). I also have the hair flattened out/parted to show worst-case scenario. When it's styled (I wear it spiked with American Crew pomade) and with some Dermatch it looks amazing.

Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted July 19, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2011 Looking great hairthere! I've been waiting on some updated pictures! I think this is gonna be it for you. How many grafts did you wind up with this last surgery? Newhairplease!! Dr Rahal in January 19, 2012:) 4808 FUT grafts- 941 singles, 2809 doubles, 1031 triples, 27 quads My Hairloss Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted July 19, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hey NHP, It was 2k grafts. I don't have the exact breakdown, but a large majority were 2s and 3s. Dr. Feller said he couldn't have packed it any tighter. So I am hoping the combo of those multis and my hair caliber will provide a knockout. Honestly, I was shocked when I saw the amount of space he was able to cover.

Senior Member hairthere Posted July 19, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2011 Yeah bro, you're going to have a great result--psyched for you! Rahal was in my top 3. One suggestion I have is to stay on the meds, especially since you have so much native hair.

Senior Member hairthere Posted July 19, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Just found some old pics. First one is pre any surgery, second is post-op Karamikian, third is a few weeks post surgery 1 with Dr. Feller after the grafts had shed.... Without any surgery I would be almost completely bald right now....

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 19, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2011 hairthere, It looks like you are on your way. Yes, some areas have yet to fully fill in but it's still early in the game. No worries yet. Are you on fin? I think I recall you saying in another thread that you stopped taking it. I ask because it looks like maybe your crown is losing more hair. Hard to say. I love the comparison pics! You really have come along way from the beginning. Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted July 19, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2011 Looks great hairthere. Did you ever have any shockloss in the donor area? That's really the only thing I'm really nervous about. Newhairplease!!

Senior Member hairthere Posted July 19, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2011 Aaron, nope stopped the meds. Can't lose anymore crown hair because it's all gone! Basically all the hair in the crown is transplanted. NHP, I had very little shockloss, if any, this time.

Senior Member ziggy00 Posted July 20, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2011 Aaron, nope stopped the meds. Can't lose anymore crown hair because it's all gone! Basically all the hair in the crown is transplanted. All of it? Wow, you got some great coverage and still some growing left to make it better.

Senior Member hairthere Posted July 20, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2011 ziggy, Dr. feller transplanted about 1200 grafts into my crown with the first HT. This time he hit it with about another 1000 and he went over the area already transplanted. So I'm expecting a real knockout in another 7 months.

Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted July 20, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hairthere In one of your other post you said your crown would be completely bald now. Somas all you have 2200 grafts total in the crown? If so, man that's already a knockout! Newhairplease!!
