Regular Member FBO Posted December 4, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi all, I'm a new member here I just found this site. I wish I had found it a long time ago. Here is my story, Thank you. I had my procedure done on March 1st. Here are couple of pictures to show the results so far. With all fairness to the DR. I will not mention his name or his office, why? Because, First I like to make an appointment with him again this month and see what he has to say about the results. I just like to get some of your guys opinion, and what would be the best thing to say to the Dr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member a Posted December 4, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2012 Do you have any more photos? It's tough to really tell from what you provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member agenteye Posted December 4, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi there FBO, Welcome to these forums. As "a" above mentioned, it is hard to tell from these photos what was done?! 1450 grafts is not a lot of grafts, so in order for us to make an accurate assessment, it would help us to have photos of the condition of your hair before your restoration. In all fairness, any transplant done shouldn't be FULLY judged until at least 12 months from the date of your procedure....so there is some time still for the hair to continue to thicken and mature. Likewise, it does look like there is some growth,(even though your front scalp/temples seem a bit thin) indicating that your transplant wasn't a complete bust! At any rate, I agree that you should voice any concerns with your surgeon at this stage to see what he or she thinks of the progress and any future action. I hope you continue to see some maturation of the transplant in upcoming months as well. Please keep us posted on any progress and updates along the way. These forums are a terrific resource for advice and support, so reach out to the members of the community anytime! Welcome again, and good growth to you!

Senior Member rev3 Posted December 6, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2012 1. that's not a lot of grafts for such a big area 2. placing grafts into diffuse hair loss areas might not show improvement due to continued loss of native hair after you go to yur doc, make consultations with other HT surgeons for further evaluation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted December 7, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 7, 2012 Not good at all. Without pre op pics its hard to say but it could be good yield and poor planning. It's just hard to say. I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.
