My 300-350 grafts hairline transplant with Dr Zontos

[moorlocks]

Monday 27th April 2015 will be my 5th fue procedure to date (I am only 35) My last procedure was with Dr W in Australia who really looked after me and did a good job (he only used 750 grafts and i achieved a good result)

 

 

 

I have been looking for Dr zontos for many years now. He did my first procedure back in 2007 when he was working somewhere else. Although I would never recommend that particular company (butchers would be a more accurate name) Dr zontos himself was very good, i might not have realised it back then as it was my first ever HT and i didnt have anything to compare it to. As time has gone on and I have had to do more, I have looked back to this procedure and remembered it as the least invasive and least painful.

 

I will admit I am VERY VERY nervous about this surgery since I cannot find much about Dr Zontos' current work online anymore but my heart says he is a good man and I actually think that along with Dr W who is the inventor of FUE in Australia (his name cannot be mentioned here), he is probably the worlds best FUE surgeon.

 

I'd say Dr W has the most FUE experience and can get more grafts from other parts of the body. Dr zontos in my opinion gives the most natural result. Basically they both have their own unique qualities.

 

 

I will post as many pics here for people to look through and will give an honest opinion good or bad.

 

 

 

My goals for this surgery:

 

These days my hair must be kept long to give the illusion of a full head of hair which i guess i can live with. But for the last 5 years I haven't walked with my head held high so to speak. I'm permanently conscious and thinking of my hairline to the point of being obsessive. Every single mirror or car reflection I will be making sure my hair / man fringe has fallen the correct way so as to NOT expose my hairline. I'm thankful I can at least get it looking good with some effort, but without exaggeration I have not been on holiday for 8 years now as I avoid the outdoors like the plague. I often dream of simple things like dancing, riding a bike, playing football or all the things I havnt done since my twenties. Each time people have thought im on holiday, I have actually been having a procedure. I will not walk outside with friends and only socialise at night if I have to just because when my hair blows and flys about the place, you can see a really thin patchy hair line. So the darker it is outside, the less chance of that hidden secret being revealed to someone.

 

- My biggest problem is I can in no way leave the house in the mornings without a shower and blow dry and have lived like this for the last 8 years although since my last procedure it is much better than it used to be. The thought of spending a night with a woman or any where else but home would be quite daunting. The restrictive lifestyle has really taken its toll so I have decided to do something about it now.

 

I'm not looking for my hairline to be lowered. What im looking for is a slight improvement so that it just looks a bit more normal in windy situations or in general when I'm outdoors. I want to be able to enjoy the great outdoors without paranoia. After so many years people around me have started questioning why my personality seems to change when I'm out compared to when I'm at home. People love me indoors, but i have recieved comments of having a split personality the last couple of years and i know its just because im a different person when im out in the daytime.

 

I once used to dance professionally and earned a fortune out of it. It's been 9 years and I have not performed because of my hair complex. Built up from when it's out of place or not looking right. I'm hoping to get out this rut and I hope the below video explains what I am looking to improve.

 

- and one more annoying thing that Id love to live without Is just to be able to run my hands through my hair, weather it be when its a little itchy or a natural reflex to a annoying situation. If my hairline was a bit more full and natural i would be able to do this

 

 

Objectives:-

 

Slightly refine /neaten and soften the hairline so it looks more normal and natural when exposed in windy situations or in the morning (as shown in video below)

 

- the most important thing is that it looks natural. I am very concerned that a stronger/ thicker hairline will now make what is behind the hairline stand out. So I'm hoping my doctor is skilled enough and will take this into consideration and place grafts accordingly.

 

 

Anyway I hope this thread helps someone. If you want to see my journey to date in detail then it can be found on hsite forum under the username 'newstart'. I have many photos on there from the past and you can see how much my last procedure of 750 grafts improved my hair overall.
