Was it just the downtime that put you off FUT the second time? Pretty much that + I do not seem to be losing further hair. If it were a moving target I would have gone FUT again. Maybe that's the fin (1/4 Proscar 3 x a week) or just luck, who knows. 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...

Looks like there’s been a little stretching of the scar in some areas, did your scalp feel tight after the op at all? Nice improvement from last month, still early days also so time for it to improve further over time Thanks for your feedback Aftermath much appreciate. It did feel tight but I’m sure to normal and part of the process. I don’t think the scar as stretch, it looks real small, there is only one spot on my right that it looks a bit wider but it’s been like this since the beginning. I’m sure time will improve my scar and that line will disappear and blend with the rest of my hair. Thanks again for your feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Month 11 is when I felt things tapered off. I don't see any stretching of the scar, just areas still a bit shock lossed which should fill-in at the same rate as the front. It gives the impression of having been stretched but in some areas you can see hair growing out of the center of otherwise 'blank' space. Hat hair - probably wiry shock lossed hair growing back through the scar and sticking out. Will fade away over time I'm sure. Thanks Matt for your feedback much appreciated. I agree with you, I don’t think the scar as stretch and have still some shock lost. This should fill-in with time. Looking forward to loose this hat hair look cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what mine looked like at 4 months (couldn't find a 6 month one zoomed in enough) + the scar 5 years on. It just needs more time for the shocked out hairs to grow back. Wow thanks Matt, theses pictures helps a lot seeing how things have improved overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member RecessionProof Posted January 28, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 28, 2020 Looks really good, especially compared to the original hair pulled back shot. I’ve noticed considerable thickening since month 6 so hoping you experience the same! 1 https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/53836-2338-grafts-with-konior-hairline-restoration-fut/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 28, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 28, 2020 The scar will definitely improve over time. This shock loss occurs with FUE as well.

I have more hair now compare when I was 20 I’m sure the next 6 months will bring a fair amount of thickening, that’s usually how it works thanks for your kind feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Yolando Posted March 17, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) 8 months status Hey guys, Sorry for the delay, I have skip a month because I was really busy at work with everything that is going on right now and that i didn't notice a big difference between 6 and 7 month. Below are some picture up close, as you can see I have still some thin spot. This got me worried quite a bit, but after speaking with the Doc, there is not much I can do at this point except waiting it out and see if it fill up. I really hope it does !!! Here are some picture not as close : The good news is at the scare got a lot better and at this length of hair my scar is almost not noticeable. And last but not lease, my hair style. People are freaking out how younger I look I'm very happy with the style and really hope the thin spot feel in. It would be an awesome transformation !!!! And most important, be safe in theses hard time with this COVID-19 virus. Cheers !!!! Edited March 17, 2020 by Yolando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member vinzaf19 Posted March 18, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted March 18, 2020 Wow! 😯 Those results look awesome! Good choice going with Dr. Konior, I’ve heard he’s one of the best Drs around! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BjornBorg Posted March 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Last few pics looking golden. Everyone can make a hair transplant result look bad using horrible lightning, angle and bed hair. Well, maybe everyone except @Aftermath . Also think it will fill up further in the next months. And if it doesn't you are in a good position to go in for a touchup. Edited March 19, 2020 by BjornBorg 2 My results - 2486 grafts FUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Yolando Posted April 28, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 28, 2020 Sorry guys for the long delay in my reply's and update. Its been hard since the confinement with the kids and work from home, I wish I had more time but such is life. I'm very happy with the progress so far and my hair got more thicker and fuller the past month, its great. My thin spot are less noticeable and the hairline got thicker as well. I would say that at night with the spotlight its more noticeable but got still a few month left of thickening to go. Will decide afterword with the doc if a touch up is needed. But overall I am trilled so far with the results 🙂 I know guys the hair is long and hard to come but, hey like you guys I have been stuck home for the past month and half Theses are the pictures with my hair style, well I tried Have a good week guys, and be safe !!!!
