Senior Member champybaby Posted March 11, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Hey all — just a friendly heads up this is not a review and that I won't be posting updates, additional pics, etc etc. I'll do that when everything is complete, which is probably another 7-10 months from now (I'll be filling in my scar w/ Dr. K in about 3-6 weeks from now). Any who. Just got my first real haircut since procedure. I previously had gotten two haircuts, but went to low key small ethnic barber shops to mostly clean up sides, etc, for Zoom calls. I went back to my barber for this one (makes a huge difference). That said, I gotta say I'm thrilled with results so far. And I don't think the real magic will happen for another 2 months or so. Dr. K legit changed my life. Just look at where I was about 10 years ago to where I am today. Also got a hot date this weekend, too 😁 I've been taking meds since my first procedure I want to say nine years ago? First procedure tackled frontal half, FUT, 4400 graphs or so in 2012. Second procedure was in Nov. 2020 and placed about 1500 in back and 1000 in front. Meds work wonders but eventually, the back caught up to me and when it went it pretty much all went out the door. I'm currently using concealer for the back, but that's legit a five minute ordeal now. I'm confident that it's going to come in looking great. Still, for about 4 months the back has come in strong (It's been 127 days since procedure, though picture below is 120 days, or four months). Also included is a 90 day pic from the back to give you guys an idea of where I was previously at. Front has certainly been coming in at a much faster rate. Sometimes, I swear, that I notice growth when I go to bed when compared to the morning. Maybe eyes playing tricks? I've been thinking about what a "great HT" means ... The description I came up with is this: "A great HT means you can style your hair, walk out the door with full confidence that you look good, in five minutes or less." I also took pics out in the sun today and the realization hit me that Dr. K legit delivered and gave me what I hoped for. Anyway. Dr. K is the best in the world. Thanks for looking. EDIT: I should note, that's harsh lighting for these pics.

Senior Member champybaby Posted May 5, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2021 To anyone still following, thought I'd share a six month update. I was happy with how it looked in month 5, though the increase in thickness in month 6 has me thrilled. I can get out of the shower, towel dry my hair and have it looks like this in about a minute (how pic was taken). Picture taken in different bathroom (I moved). I believe the light here is harsher. About 1500 grafts placed in back. Obviously ecstatic with results. Hated covering up the crown ... I also placed 400 beard in my FUT scar on March 31. Will have full write up that procedure, as well as this one, once everything is "complete." fwiw! 3 1 FUT procedure w/ Dr. K (2012) Second FUT, Dr. K, Nov. 2020 (mini update) Third procedure, FUE, Dr. K, 03/21, 400 beard to scar (latest update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted May 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2021 Very nice result! I'm sure it'll cover up completely over the next couple months. You're tempting me to get my bit of crown loss done but I know I should wait until I'm older. Do you have any pre-op pics of your crown that you can share? I can kinda guess what it looked like based on the 90 days pic, but I'm not sure if that includes shock loss etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
