Senior Member phantom777 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 1, 2014 I felt so lazy and was totally busy which made me not spend time to take some good quality pics. But something is better than nothing so I took a few from my phone. So finally had a haircut after 4.5 months. Feels good to be normal again without the hanging gardens of hair on my sides Did not touch my top transplanted hair during the haircut. There is a slight transition of hair on the back where the donor hair was taken from after the haircut but its very negligible. 1st FUT - Raymond Konior (April 2014) | 2953 grafts | # of hairs: 5939 (1's: 595, 2's: 1730, 3's: 628) 2nd FUT - Ron Shapiro (Nov 2020) | 2527 grafts | # of hairs: 4967 ( 1's: 599, 2's: 1416, 3's: 512) Finasteride 1mg MWF | Nizoral shampoo twice a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hadenough2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 1, 2014 Spanker I agree. Somebody so young doing a HT without being on Meds is not good & setting themselfs for more heartbreak in the furure. Time.. Its kinda sad that we only can talk about 2 or 3 Meds which may help people today. When I was loosing my hair yrs ago I thought arrr don't worry so much there be somrthing around the corner & here I am some 25 yrs later thinking someone will pull a rabbit out there ass. But at the end of the day its just friggen fungus on top of our heads. As long as you got your health & family that's all what counts I agree as far as meds go. I waited for years for something non-invasive, counting on medicine and the great pharma profit machine to find the great cure for my ill. But they are most fallible, and it seems not to be meant to be in my lifetime. So I went with the HT. Hopefully pharma will get it done for my kids.

Senior Member phantom777 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm not sure he can take Fin TBH cas best advise esp at that age & HT I'm sure Dr.K would of spoken to him about this being he still young & his MPB is sure to become a NW 6 in the future if he don't take some Meds. I hope he does unless he be on a upward battle if he don't. Yes. Dr K did tell me to take Fin but I was against it. I had taken Minox like 6 months back before the transplant and now I started getting acne. I am not sure if its related to this but I never had acne in my life before and the only things I had taken recently was Minox and Nizoral both of which I have stopped temporarily now. I am not that greedy of a person for hair ( hope I wont change my statement later when I have further loss ). I know I wont take any meds which might have the possibility of a side effect. I will try to use concealers on my crown as long as I can along with growing out my hair longer and combing it back ( which i like ). Lets see how long I can push it. And dr K said I have good caliber hair. And another 3000+ easily available. So I am going to use it very carefully later on. Very much later on as my face has been framed well as of now . 1st FUT - Raymond Konior (April 2014) | 2953 grafts | # of hairs: 5939 (1's: 595, 2's: 1730, 3's: 628) 2nd FUT - Ron Shapiro (Nov 2020) | 2527 grafts | # of hairs: 4967 ( 1's: 599, 2's: 1416, 3's: 512) Finasteride 1mg MWF | Nizoral shampoo twice a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member djgLXXII Posted December 13, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted December 13, 2014 I just have a question about your hair shock ! did it grow back and how does your strip look sofar? To add my own experience: I too had a FUT procedure with Dr. Konior about a month after phantom777 (August 12, 2014). I had ~2700 grafts. Anyway, I experienced shock loss around the donor scar. It was kinda bad around where the scar terminated on my left side. I had a relatively large bare spot which was rather scary but I read numerous posts that stated this can happen, it's normal, and the hair will grow back. Anyway, I'm out what? Nearly 4 months now. I went to the barber last week and have a #4 grade shave on my sides and back of the head. The scar is completely undetectable. I couldn't be more happy.

I am staying alone now and dont have anyone to take a pic of the donor now. Personally I dont think the shock loss is there anymore.

Senior Member phantom777 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Updating after almost 6 years. Things looked better and my hair grew back strong as was expected after the transplant from Dr Konior. The transplanted hair around the 8 month mark was kind of wirey, but as it matured, it became became just as my natural hair. Since I had hair loss till my crown and had transplanted hair only to the frontal third, I grew my hair long to cover the non-transplanted part of my head and it worked for a while. Attached are a few pics just about a year after my transplant - 2015. As the years passed by, the existing hair that I had in the front, started thinning and the density became thinner. The crown started expanding as well. I had not taken fin or any preventive medication and so this was expected. I finally did my second surgery last week. I'll update the post with it's details soon.
