As far as I remember, after extracting the FUT strip, technicians were dissecting the strip and meanwhile Dr K started extracting the grafts via FUE. When all the extraction was done then doctor started implanted all the grafts. As per what I remember, Dr was also cognizant of the time as generally grafts have limited time after the extraction (but there are certain ways to retain the grafts as far as possible without effecting the quality.). I personally didn't felt anything during surgery since was on Valium etc. Hey Nick how many of your 2500 total grafts were removed just via the FUT? I'm wondering that because the size of your scar is really small so I'm assuming it was something like 1k or around abouts... any idea how many it was?

Are his prices $8 per FUE graft and $5 per FUT graft like most of the other clinics or did he charge you one rate for the two different extraction types? Hi Kiwi Guy, In my case it was different for FUT and FUE. For more details regarding your case, you can directly reach his office and get the quotes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member nick1111 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 22, 2019 Here is the update at 4 months. Not a significant change since the last update. Little bit of more growth but still hoping for more density specially on the right side as you can observe that it is lagging behind as compared to the left side. Couldn't get the picture of the scar as might need some hand to capture it. Wasn't able to find by myself . Will get it in the next update. Hopefully things should be better by next month. Let me know what you people think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member 1978matt Posted January 22, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2019 Looks fine. The shadow effect is from very fine hair breaking the surface. Over time that will thicken up considerably. I can't see there being any problems from here on in. 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...

Still waiting to get little more density on the center right but pretty much satisfied with my HT with the number of grafts used. Looking forward for another surgery to fix my crown. During initial discussion, Dr K suggested that he can use my chest hair to fix my crown in the 2nd surgery (due to limited donor area at the back of my head). Have you come across any successful cases with chest hair used as Donor. Can you share any if you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
