Senior Member Mickey85 Posted February 18, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hot dam! What a hairline and what a result at only 7 months. Konior has quickly moved up a few notches in my books surpassing quite a few Docs in a short time. The only 2 threads you will ever need: Revamped Advantages/Disadvantages of FUE. Myths dispelled.

Your photos have been amazing, and as I mentioned in a previous post, your photos show the cleanest work that I can ever recall seeing. Koniors work is incredible.

Senior Member SamSpade Posted March 14, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Dry, Front and Side and uncombed: Wet, Front and Side: (wacky curls from my childhood return) ORIGINAL SITUATION: Say whaaaat? This will give you an idea of where I was last June. I stumbled onto these photos that I sent to Dr. Konior originally. It's good to always look back because it's easy to forget our past. Pre-transplant side (It was getting tough to style with this look) Pre-transplant front You can see from my original state last summer why I needed such a high graft count. My hair on the side is so dark and thick so to even come close to match it we had to get a lot in there. Dang genetics.

Senior Member SamSpade Posted March 14, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks man, really appreciate it. I presume the big growth spurts are complete but we'll see if anything improves by my year mark. I checked out your six-month update, it's looking fantastic. Any new updates on your thread?

Nothing really new. I think a lot of my grafts grew straight away. By 5 months or so I was cosmetically maxed out, meaning there is no noticeable change. I will probably do an update on the 30th which will be my 8 months.

Senior Member SamSpade Posted April 24, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hey guys, sorry it's been a while for me on my last update. Things are going well. Dr. Konior tells me the entire restoration will happen at 12 months and I'm at 9. I don't expect much more but I suppose it could get thicker at the root(?) But I was more intrested in a natural soft hairline than something that looks suspicious, hence Dr. K. I will say that some friends have asked if I've lost weight (nope) and mentioned i look younger. That's a nice thing to hear when you're entering your mid thirties. A couple others can't put their finger on the new look. For the most part I've changed my hairstlye from combing down to combing up. I just got a haircut today and even had my stylist straighten my hair (via blowdryer). I was curious how that would look with the pompadour look since my hair has always had crazy curl, even when it was barely there. If this selfie isn't a testament to Dr. Konior's meticulous hairline design, I don't know what is. Thanks again for the continued support. *I must always remember my past.
