Senior Member jcs87 Posted November 29, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi all, I recently went in for a 6mo check in. Everything is going very well. I have hair!! I will have some photos to post soon once they get them to me. Also yes, Gabel did indeed train under Konior. When he went his way I'm not sure, but it's probably on his website if I double check. These guys did a killer job. Pics soon! Looking forward to it. BTW, just out of curiosity did you guys ever discussing doing any work on the temple points?

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted November 30, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2017 Um wow, you had two of the best doctors in the United States at your disposal...that's unique to say the least. Exactly my comments, wow! I have no doubt the results will be stellar. Two week post op photos look like excellent clean work as expected.

You can get a decent idea of what my hair is like on a day to day basis. My office has this gross fluorescent lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member OtherSyde Posted February 20, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2018 Wow, I am seriously jealous! Having two of the best HT surgeons working on your dome at once must have been pretty exciting! You know you're getting some amazing results! Keep us updated, will you?

Regular Member LordWalden Posted February 24, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hi everyone - thank you for all the wonderful responses. I got out of the shower the other day and was pretty amazed at how well my hair looks even when wet - because obviously, the hair clumps up and may show more thinness than usual. One of these is literally me walking out of the shower, the other two are with wet and semi-wet hair with it slicked back so you can see the hairline quite well. These are some simple pics with bathroom lighting and some natural light from my bedroom window. Regardless, I still think this looks incredible. It's been 9 months and I'm still amazed... things feel surreal sometimes when I look at myself in the mirror now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MattyNJ1 Posted March 3, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) At the risk of being redundant, i must say you are a lucky guy having both the top HT surgeons in this country hands down perform your HT! ...I can say that from experience bc i spoke to Dr Konior in length about having my HT, and that Dr Gable actually performed it! Your result is outstanding givin the amount of bare scalp in front and the low number of grafts! Do you remember exactly when you saw your 1st growth? Iam closing in on 3 months (on March 11 2018) and still havent seen anything. Contrats! also are you taking meds? Fin? iam sure your are VERY happy...

Iam closing in on 3 months (on March 11 2018) and still havent seen anything. Contrats! also are you taking meds? Fin? iam sure your are VERY happy... Hmm... I saw growth very quickly. The very first month though, all my hair fell out. I was back to looking like I was before the hair transplant. 3 months in, I remember having a bit of growth, but the hair was thin and sparse. By 6 months, I had seen significant growth. Just keep waiting man. I'd say at least give it 6 months. Between 3-9 months in, I got a massively significant chunk of growth in. I'm coming up on 1 year at the end of May and over the last few months I feel like the hair has really matured well. For the first time in over 10 years I actually visited a barber - a husband/wife pair who run a local business. I mentioned I got a transplant after they had done significant cutting work - they had no clue and couldn't tell at all I had anything done.

Regular Member LordWalden Posted April 16, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 16, 2018 So, I went and got me an undercut, a haircut I've always really liked and one that's been stylish for a very long time throughout a number of different eras, and also a big reason why I wanted to undergo FUE - no strip scar for a short cut in the back! I tried to get some close-up pics of the hairline but the results were less than stellar... apologies for the slight blurry-ness. There is a clay-matte pomade product in it - shoutout to Lockhart's hair products. I am going to see Dr. Gabel for a check-in on my 1 year period of growth soon. I will have some really nice high quality photos around early June. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Gabel patient myself, you have to prompt a barber to look for it, because if the scar is done well and the hair looks believable, then there's no reason for them to suspect you have had a procedure done. I even had a barber compliment my hairline as one of the nicest she'd ever seen on a man...ha, didn't tell her it was surgically restored. Hair loss patient and transplant veteran. Once a Norwood 3A.

Regular Member LordWalden Posted April 16, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 16, 2018 also are you taking meds? Fin? Forgot this - yes! I am on Fin. I've been taking a generic fin for at least 5+ years or so. Have had no bad side effects. I haven't touched minox for a LONG time. Not sure if I even need to anymore at this point, and since I also have a cat, I love not having to worry about using it (minox is seriously deadly to cats!) I use a sulfate free shampoo for daily use, I use Nizoral about once a week, and I have a Head and Shoulders for a "stronger" clean if I'm feeling my hair is really grimey from product after awhile.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 10, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2022 Bumping this thread. How incredible is it to get @Dr. Raymond Konior and @Steven Gabel, MD, FACS both transplant on you at the same time.

Senior Member A Fue Good Men Posted December 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2022 Agreed @Melvin- Moderator! Totally bump worthy thread. It’s insane what roughly 2000 well placed grafts did for this patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member stephcurry30 Posted December 25, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 25, 2022 Dude got a second chance at life with a hairline. Incredible result by both doctors. Gabel is extremely under estimated IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
