They kinda do. Its call ht patient of the week. I haven't seen a Konior pt make it yet, so we will see. I think SamSpade had more of a transformation than me just based on the size of the procedure, so I would like to see him considered.

Regular Member Jinglealltheway Posted June 20, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hi spanker, I would kill to have the hairline and density you had before your surgery. Maybe I'm not seeing something, but you he's embed to have a thick head of hair with a very nice hairline before your surgery. Either way, your hair looks great before and after. I am jealous.

Senior Member Spanker Posted June 20, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2013 It's a small photo but if you click on my website below you can see my hair line breaking apart. I am sitting in chair and looking up. My temples were diffused as you can see in 2 month pics. Now I don't look like I have ever lost a hair but have mature corners. I told him it was important to me to look normal at 50-60 based on future loss. Tbh, with my age and loss level, I was in better shape then about 90 percent of the guys who come to the site. I am lucky in that aspect. I remember asking Dr. K, "If I was your son and asking for surgery, what would you say to me?" He said he would tell me I didn't need surgery but I was a good candidate, but he also knew that I was more educated on ht than 99 percent of the guys that came into his office and I believe he took that into account. He examined my hair and I was 33 at the time. He said that I would likely always have more donor than I would have a demand for hair and agreed to perform the work. The fact that I don't look like I had surgery is a testament to his skill and my genetics. Hopefully my genetics hold out and I won't need a touch up for quite some time. I wasn't looking to change my look but to hold my look and keep up with Father Time. I think it was a success. Thanks for the comment. Hope you get the procedure you are looking for.

Senior Member Spanker Posted July 24, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2013 So here are my 12 month results (short by a couple days). I added a couple preops and a .gif that I made. It has been a great experience to gain back what I had lost. I am really happy with the results. It is strange to look back and see my hair before the operation, as I never felt like I had lost as much as the photos show, so that makes me even more happy with the results. A big thanks to the forum, as I almost went to a mini-graft factory in Alabama because I did not know the difference before I got to the forum and soaked in some HT education. Hair loss is a never ending battle so I will be around. Also, to Dr. Konior who is in the Chicago area, who gives world class results on a consistent basis. I am really glad I chose him after 2 years of research and I wouldn't change a thing. I may not end up a NW 7, but I will end up at least an advanced NW3, maybe more. Life is long, and all of us getting work done have to accept that most people go bald or balding eventually. I am pretty lucky compared to many, but really, once you display signs of loss, you know you are in for a battle, if you chose to fight to the fight. Currently, finasteride and minoxidil are working well for me. I will continue this regime until I see further loss and then I will add low dose duasteride once a week. My goal is to not need another HT for 5 years, although that doesn't mean I won't do a tweek her or there before then. I estimate that I at least have 6,000 grafts left, but will be seeing Dr. Konior next moth for a follow-up and will get a more educated guess that that time. 2 pre-op- these are 2 of my least favorite photos.
