2500 FUE 4 Month Dr Vories

[idnotcrae]

I had FUE done by Dr Vories on Sept 4th 2015 to reconstruct hair line and frontal lock. I attached pics before surgery, 10 days post op and 4 month update. Please let me know what do you think in my progress so far, Later I will add how surgery went, what is good and what is bad, (and if time go back what I'd ask Dr Vories or discuss about before surgery) but all in all surgery /healing was very smooth and I'm happy so far.

Looks as if on target. I may have had a tad more growth in similar time. Would you give more details into your experience and feedback of the surgeon and what you feel you may have done differently.

I was hoping to get more opinions on my progress so far specially from the experienced members here in the from to know where imnstanding before my 6 month review with Dr Vories comes but anyway below is my feeling about the procedure:

Surgery it self went very easy Dr Vories looks so confident and solid rock fue doctor. I trusted dr to draw my hairline which he draw by free hand, right after dr start extracting from donor and then comes the implanting part, dr started implanting in my left side, left side went very smooth without any issues at all.... then moved to my right side which went very well as well except towards the end dr started to ask me if im comfortable and inwas tottaly normal not feeling anything wrong.. then he repeated the wuestion again and said hraphts on right side is popping up... it stayed like that until dr changed my head position then popping stopped and dr continued normally till end of procedure.i was worried and asked dr will this popping for graphts affect results he said no its only cost time to put the graphts in back again and nothing inshould worry about.

Dr mentined that grsphts extraction was easy, i had minimum bleeding and this is good thing .at the end i asked dr what should i expect he said as i have god hair caliber i should expect good results.

 

When scabs went away i noticed the mismatch in density (i posted a pic to show that above) and dr said that it looks normal and if im still concerned we will discuss that in the two weeks review....Healing went very well ... more than 80% of graphts shed after two weeks...i had shockloss in frontal third i was looking worse than prior to surgery but thanks to community as i was already informed to expect that...

After two months and half i start seeing difference in transplanted area as growth kicked in and at three months it was very noticable (it looks better in real than pictures, i dont know why may be im not good at taking pics)...and since then its getting better day after day...

 

If time go back here are the things i would talk to dr about: (its just from patient point of view it could be right or wrong)

1- I would request to separate the procedure into two days, personally i think the popping for grapts in my right side was becuz of fatigue factor and stamina of dr hands..

2- left side texture is so smoth and just like scalp however right side scalp texture is not smooth as left one, again i bieleve that because of reduce of dr hand stamina and fatigue factor

3- there is a gap in right side between transplanted area above temple and side... its small but its visible... left side doesnot have this gap

4- right side temple hair angle is very acute not sure if my native hair is same angle or not but the new hair angle i think it could have adjusted better

5- right side hairline has about 3 or 4 graphts with more than one hair on it.. its not so visible but it would have been better if single hairs

 

Let me know your opinion guys and what do you think about my proress so far....At the end id like to say im happy with my outcome so far and i recommend guys who looking for ethical fue doctor to consult with dr Vories.

4 months is just the beginning of growth, the hairs right now are barely sprouting, at 6 months you should see a significant difference.

So far looks good, although i can see the mixmatch in density, did the doc plant grafts in the middle bit where you had some native hair? I can't quite tell from the pic?

 

Also are you on propecia?

Graphts all placed in hairline and front, nothing in midscalp.

Im not on propecia, although its very important when go the HT way.. I decided in return for not using propecia i will leave crown bald... save donor for thinning that might happen in middle area.
