8 Years and 16 weeks after my 1st hair transplant surgery

If you've ever wondered if the lighting makes my hair look thicker, take a look at the following pictures.  I decided to wet my hair and comb it straight back.  Nothing to hide here with special lighting.  Pretty impressive!

Merry Christmas!!!!

8 Years and 13 weeks after my 1st hair transplant surgery

I haven't posted a recent picture of Michele and me in a while so why not post a Covid Pandemic picture!  Sure will be glad when this mess is over and we can return to a normal lifestyle?  Bring on the vaccine!

  

8 Years and 10 weeks after my 1st hair transplant surgery

This video was produced by Dr. Vories and was recorded at his clinic in Charlotte North Carolina during one of my visits after surgery.  I think you will find it very interesting.  It's a bit over 2 minutes long.

I'm often asked about scarring after surgery.  Dr. Vories used a 0.8mm punch and there is no visible scarring. This short video shows how well my donor area has recovered and clearly shows no evidence of scarring.  This picture was taken just prior to my 2nd surgery and you really don't see any discernible scarring even with my head shaved.  Dr. Vories had removed over 1,750 grafts from this outlined area two years prior.

 Do you think this was a complete transformation?????  Thank You  Dr. Vories!!!!

8 Years and 3 weeks after my 1st hair transplant surgery

This 2 minute video was taken about three years after my surgery.  My wife will comb through my hair and I want you to pay attention to how good my donor area looks after over 7,000 grafts have been removed.

 

 

8 year anniversary since my 1st hair transplant

Today is the 8 year anniversary of my hair transplant!  Dr. Vories at Carolina Hair Surgery took this video just before my surgery!  The picture beneath the video was taken about two years later!

This professionally produced video is an interview with me and Dr. Vories done at his clinic in Charlotte North Carolina.  This video is a great description of my hair transplant journey.  The video shows pictures of the procedure and when I was on display at the International Hair Restoration Convention in the Bahamas and later in Chicago as well as great explanations by Dr. Vories regarding my procedure.  Hope you enjoy the video!

I've received a couple emails recently asking what they should expect during the first year after surgery.  I've included a photo showing progress over the first year after my initial surgery in 2012 followed by a photo taken several months later which clearly shows how the hair thickens over time.

Here's a photo I haven't shown in while.  Pretty impressive transformation...
don't you think???

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!  

GO AMERICA!!!!

I'm often asked about how quickly your donor area heals after surgery.  These two pictures are 14 days apart.  It's pretty amazing how quickly your existing hair grows and how quickly your scalp heals.

I'm often asked when new hairs will appear.  Of course...everyone is different but you can see my new hairs breaking the surface at the 11 week mark.

I often get questions about FUE scarring.  Dr. Vories uses a 0.8mm punch to remove the grafts.  I'm attaching this photo which was taken minutes prior to my second surgery in 2015.  You are looking at a donor area where about 1,750 grafts were removed in September of 2012.  As you can see, there is really no discernible scarring in the donor area.  I can't imagine why others choose FUT (strip surgery) and have to deal with a lengthy linear scar on the back of their head for the rest of their life....when they can choose FUE surgery with no visible scarring!

How about these before and after photos?

The crown area is one of the most difficult areas to cover.  This is how my crown area looked over time.  The final picture shows my head tilted back exposing the entire crown area.  With a normal head position people see a much fuller head of hair in that area.

Everyone wonders when their new hairs will start growing.  This is a picture of me 11 weeks after my surgery.  You can clearly see the new hairs popping through along with a expected pimple or two!!!



You can clearly see a new hair line after 18 weeks!

Take a look at this video of my 2012 surgery.  At the time, it was one of the largest FUE surgeries ever performed.  5,125 grafts extracted and inserted over 3 days by Dr. Vories.  This video has been viewed over 73,000 times!

Happy New Year!  This picture was taken of my beautiful wife Michele and I at the famous Brown Hotel in downtown Louisville for the New Year's 2020 celebration.  The other pictures were taken in 2012.
