Senior Member 1978matt Posted June 19, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 19, 2014 Looks great! He's estimated at least 3000 grafts to the frontal third.. I'm hoping to get nearer to 4000 being greedy Really worried about going back to work after to be honest its stressing me out. Large open plan office, fairly smart dress so no one wears caps and i've only 3 weeks off.. Best of luck but you don't need luck with the great man. Going back to work is no fun but you will get through it. 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...

davidla Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 congrats to you Matt, glad everything worked out. Im looking forward to my own results, i hope they are just as good as yours. Did you change anything about your diet and were you using any hair treatments prior to the surgery? I read you started using rogaine after the 7th day, i will buy some today. I was just scared of lossing more hair due to it and than the fact that it might not grow back. Im still skeptical and hesitant to i never used anything before my HT.

I was on Rogaine about 18 months prior and about 8 months on a low dose of Propecia, both of which I continue with to this day. The way I look at it is that if you lose hair from the meds then it was probably too weak and going to disappear soon anyway. 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 PupDaddy Posted July 19, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2014 Beautiful result, Matt! Congrats. Did you do scalp laxity exercises prior to your procedure? If so, when did you start, which exercises, how many times per day, etc? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member 1978matt Posted July 19, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2014 Beautiful result, Matt! Congrats. Did you do scalp laxity exercises prior to your procedure? If so, when did you start, which exercises, how many times per day, etc? Thanks! Thanks mate. I started them about 2 months prior and could already notice a difference after a couple of weeks. I guess I did about 10 minutes a day but not all in one go using Jotronic's methods (see youtube). You have to apply a reasonable amount of force and they can be quite tiring! 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...

Here are a few under bathroom spotlights which show the reality that you don't get the old density back. You can get much better density if you want though - just go have an FUE of maybe 800-1000 grafts done, like Corvettester did, and fill in the frontal-most area of your hairline. It's really hard to get high density on a hairline on the first pass - it's normal for a second, much smaller procedure to be needed to fill it in. That's how mine worked too. Looking great though!

Senior Member Loags79 Posted August 21, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2014 Great outcome.

Senior Member 1978matt Posted August 21, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2014 Looks amazing! Matt do you mind me asking what razor guard number you usually get with a haircut? My hairdresser is a bit scared of taking it short but I'm sure I could go to a grade 3 or 4. Long story but they had a lot of competition open nearby so I guess they worry about messing up my hair! I'll try to get them to go shorter next time. Great outcome. If grafts permitting, a 2nd HT could allow to wear your hair much shorter. True, but I think I will give it a few years and save the donor for now. Superb result - Well done !

Senior Member chrisdav Posted August 21, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Incredible change Matt. You should be Dr K's showcase patient. Edited August 21, 2014 by chrisdav 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired.

Senior Member 2youngforthis Posted August 26, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2014 damn good. I do have one question that i am sure everyone will go crazy that i ask, but since i have strawberry blonde hair. Would Dr K still do 1 hair bulb graft then 2 and so forth for grafts. I would think starting with a 2 hair bulb would be better, but i can't find anyone with blond or even red hair on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe it would be any different but hair to scalp colour may influence the chosen density and placement. If you look at someone like Neil Lennon his temples have gone quite a bit but when he grows his hair the recession isn't that noticeable. 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 1978matt Posted September 10, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2014 I had the pleasure today of returning to Chicago and spending most of the day observing Dr K carry out a 3500 graft surgery. It was kind of him to make that offer and I was blown away by the precision of the strip removal and graft placement. I left after 2000 grafts as that is enough for any lay-person to see in their lifetime! I also met a couple of guys considering a procedure + one who was 5 days out and another who stopped by after 8 months. The latter had a scar so good he could shave down to a grade 1! The doc was delighted with my result and estimated at least another 2,000 via strip + more with FUE. I'll try to get my clinic photos up in the near future. Thanks also to Tom and Lisa for their hospitality! 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...
