Senior Member civic Posted June 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Hi guys, i just finished my 2 day 5k grafts with Dr Vories. I was a NW6. Quick stats: early 40s, hair loss was noticable in mid 20s but was managble with comb overs. Why i chose Dr Vories: he specializes in FUE exclusivly & does implantation & extraction all by himself. Those of you who been around, know how labor intensive the procedure is. His assistant Kathy helped with loading implanting pens, recount grafts. She is just as hardworking as he is. On day 1, 2500 grafts were extracted & implanted into back half. On day 2 the front was done with another 2500 grafts. Pics are day 1 of crown, Day 2 with front right after post op. Before pic with donor area pre op. Edited July 8, 2022 by civic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted June 30, 2022 Moderators Share Posted June 30, 2022 It's interesting that the Dr did the crown first and did the front last. Usually the front is done first because if you run out of grafts it's better to have a bit less in the crown. It looks like this went fine, so I'm not trying to worry you. I just found it interesting and I'm wondering if that's his standard plan on large cases like yours. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

After day 2 my face had gotten swollen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems i did have some shock loss in some areas of donor, based on patches in the back, 5k grafts over 2 days is no joke -) hopefuly in few months it will improve further.
