Regular Member hairIcome Posted June 30, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks Agent. I am looking forward to more growth. Wish there was a time machine so that one could just fast forward 8 months and see what it would look like. Anyway I am have a pretty similar regimen to yours which I think has sped up the growth process.

Senior Member recedingboy Posted July 8, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2013 the work looks like it will turn out well, but man a lot of hair has been shaved considering its a strip procedure. That will be impossible to conceal without looking strange. I though with FUT's, minimal shaving is required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SamSpade Posted July 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2013 Keep documenting, great work man. The 3-month mark is probably the toughest, those hairs are resting but they'll come back. It feels like they don't move but only because you (we) check 8 times a day. Looking back on the photos was the only way for me to truly realize how fast things were moving and changing in hindsight. Also, Dr. K really got back there near your crown. Awesome job selecting a premium surgeon.

Regular Member hairIcome Posted August 8, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 8, 2013 Thanks everyone for your kind words and support. I am attaching my 3 month update pictures taken last week. Things seem to be right on track and I also met with Dr. Konior for a 3 month follow up. He was thrilled to see the progress so far The scar looks good. Redness is gone for the most part and there are no signs that I had any kind of surgery.

Regular Member hairIcome Posted August 30, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Can't believe it's already been 4 months. Summer is almost over and I have more hair than I have ever had in last couple of years. Everything seems to be on track so far. I have started to workout hard and heavy and don't feel any weird sensations in the donor area. Attaching 4 months pictures. Any feedback, comments or questions are welcome. I am pretty pleased with the results so far. Just to test the waters what people think. Couple of weeks ago, I asked one of my friends(who doesn't know I had an HT), we haven't seen each other in a year, if I should get a hair transplant? His response was no, for now your hair looks fine. It's little bit thin but you definitely don't need one right now. I don't know what he is going to say when he sees me after another 6 months.

Senior Member 1978matt Posted August 31, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted August 31, 2013 That's brilliant mate. The side on shots look really good an no one would think you are thinning unless they viewed from above! 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MAGNUMpi Posted August 31, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted August 31, 2013 Great 4 month update. Good to see all that hair. How is the scar treating you? do you use anything to conceal it? In another few months youll be a happy camper for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairIcome Posted August 31, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 31, 2013 Magnum as you can see from my pictures the scar is hardly visible with a #3 clipper. So I don't have to worry about concealing or hiding it. During the first month I used DermiMatch but after that I did not use anything to conceal it.
