AntonioAG5_Yes Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Congratulations! I'm glad to see how well your progress is going. I have my appointment scheduled with Dr. Konior in August, and I thought I would consult with you. How many days do you recommend I stay in Chicago after the procedure? I am also from a country other than the USA and I read that you traveled from Australia to Chicago. I hope you can offer me your honest answer. Thanks very much! Kind regards.

Regular Member gs1207 Posted March 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2023 Would you be willing to share a rough estimate of the type of pricing you got? I too am very interested in Dr Konior because of his impressive results, but I’ve heard it’s more of a session based pricing model rather than a cost per graft estimate. I know you get what you pay for and of course because of his reputation and work I don’t mind paying a premium, but if something around a 1200-2000 graft session would cost $35,000 that would be at the least $17 per graft which is no small fee even for the best of the best. I have a very similar case as you, so was hoping you might be willing to share. Also great post, and big thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I arrived on Tuesday, and had my op on the Wednesday. I ended up staying until Sunday I believe, and I am kind of glad I did. You could potentially leave a couple of days after, but I had a bit of swelling - and having an extra couple of days for the grafts to secure a little more is solid peace of mind. I'd stay 4-5 days, personally - but I'd check with Dr K, he will give you a detailed answer suitable to your operation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually booked in early 2020, but had to keep post-poning due to COVID and such. When I finally booked again late 2022, Dr K honoured the pricing model of my initial booking, instead of his new fee. So I really cannot say what his would be as of now. He is up-front with all his costs, if you email his practice, he will give you a run-down it's also different for FuE vs FUT. If you want a detailed breakdown, feel free to shoot me a msg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the hairs have now shed. A few didn't, but I assume they still might. Real ugly duckling hours. Dr K said it's looking normal, but is it standard to look so different in terms of density? Compared to my post op, it really looks like some of the grafts aren't there, but I'm sure I didn't lose any. I was so careful, never had any head knocks, and haven't had any bleeding or any fall out. Are they just so small that it's super hard to see at this stage? Donor looks the same as prior to the HT, so didn't figure I'd post a pic Just look how beautiful this is! What a clean job. Perfection! Dr Konior is the dream doctor by all of us. And after this he gets in his car and drives you to the hotel! Dr Konior is just ... Priceless 🎖 🙌🏻 Edited March 14, 2023 by OliverAtom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member HelpfulFriend Posted March 21, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Hey gang, I was speaking to Dr K recently, and he sent me some immediate post-op pictures. Just in case anyone wanted a good quality shot of what you can expect immediately after the operation - and how my hair was styled for a no-shave recipient procedure. My pics in the original post are pretty poor quality Edited March 21, 2023 by HelpfulFriend 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this is because I simply extended my hairline from my frontal lock (which was untouched). So I didn't really design a hairline, I just had the corners filled in. Dr K said I could have gone lower, but I wanted to go super conservative due to my family history. Edited April 4, 2023 by HelpfulFriend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
