Regular Member Logan_P Posted December 7, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 7, 2023 Thanks everyone for the comments! I'm thrilled with the result and agree with all the positive comments about Dr. Cooley. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. I'm sorry I haven't taken any pics of the donor. I'm due a haircut so when I have it done I will take some pics then - unless you'd like to see it a little grown out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just a matter of taste in any case. Thank you! I think if I lowered it I wouldn't be comfortable. I think it's age appropriate as it is which is what I was after, and now it has the density that I was hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see many donors with only 1000 extractions these days, so your donor even grown out will be super helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Logan_P Posted December 12, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2023 This is a couple of days after my last haircut which is a skin fade so there's no hiding any sort of scarring. Beyond thrilled with Dr. Cooley's work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatInTheHat Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Hey @Logan_P great results and thank you for your story! I’m currently considering Dr Cooley and reading personal stories really helps continue to build confidence even though I already know he’s one of the best! I have a few questions since my hair is not too different from your original/old pics and would love to hear your responses: 1) Since you didn’t shave your whole head, did it look weird when the grafts where coming/growing back in the hairline after the shed and they were much smaller than the other hair behind it on the top of your head? Did anyone ever say anything etc? I really don’t want to shave my whole head but always feel like that’s going to happen if I don’t 2) did dr Cooley suggest you start any other meds or any other treatments to help supplement the transplant? I’ve been on Fin for years but am a non responder to min 3) any updated pics? thanks again and looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it did not look weird at all, in fact it was almost imperceptible. I knew they were coming in because I was looking for them. Nobody else did - in fact I had to point them out to my wife. It's so gradual the average person won't notice. 2. Prior to the procedure he put me on a round of antibiotics to avoid infection, but otherwise it was just the standard Fin/Min prescriptions which I was already on like you are. I've attached a pic from yesterday. The hair has gotten thicker as I have gone through at least one dormant phase which was virtually unnoticeable compared to my prior dormant phases which really caused a lot of anxiety for me. All I noticed was that it wasn't growing compared to a thinning which is what I use to experience. I'm happy to talk more if you'd like, shoot me a PM with you phone number and we can chat. You are in great hands if you choose to work with Dr. Cooley - I need to go see him soon for a follow-up so he can take my "after" pics for the website. I'm beyond thrilled and just told my wife that this was always what I wanted and hoped for. I wouldn't change a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Logan_P Posted February 21 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 21 Oh I forgot to mention that even my barber didn't realize what I had done. I had to point out the tiny scars where the donors were taken, which is funny since he does a skin fade on me each time I see him - there's not hiding anything with that!! I showed him the before and after pics and he nearly fell over. He told me that he may give Dr. Cooley a call as well. One comment he made was "I thought something was off since your hair kept getting thicker and that never happens!" haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond thrilled with Dr. Cooley's work. You definitely picked one of the best in the industry. He is leagues above some of the recommended doctors on here and it shows time and time again. It’s a savage result, a perfect example of “a little goes along way”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
