To follow-up from my previous post I wanted to include the following result!  Thank you Dr. Vories!

 

I'm posting a couple older photos showing the start of new growth in my crown area. I occasionally get the question regarding the first sign of new growth.  Of course it's different for every individual but for most it starts about months 3-4. 

This picture was taken 11 weeks and three days after surgery and you can clearly see the tiny new hairs popping through my scalp.  You can also see a pimple in the second picture which is very common after a transplant.  This occurs when new hairs encounter an issue breaking through the surface.  Nature typically wins and the hair eventually surfaces.

 

The first picture was taken minutes before surgery. You can see where Dr. Vories outlined the area he was going to work on.  I think you can see how much my hair grew in.  This picture was taken a while ago but there is apparently no discernible hair loss.

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!

                                                                                    

Carolina Hair Surgery sent me a couple one minute videos from my experience.  I thought I would share one of those with you this week.

This was a short documentary of my hair restoration experience. This is my journey and why I chose Carolina Hair Surgery.  Check out this professionally produced video.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

How about this for a stark difference???

This photo was taken recently at a fund raiser in Simpsonville Kentucky.  Thank you Dr. Vories and Carolina Hair Surgery!!!  12 years and still looks great!

Check out this video I made three years after my surgery.  It's about 2 minutes long and does a good job of showing my donor area and how it recovered.

This is Michele and I a while ago out for a Valentine's dinner.  Wow, what a difference in the hair line!  Michele's looking pretty good too!!!!

I left the previous post up for a couple extra weeks because I was receiving about 150 views on average each day.  That video of my mega-session FUE has been viewed 75,000+ times now.

The following two pictures show how my hair filled in over time.  These are pictures taken a various times during my first year after surgery.

The bottom picture was used for more than a year on NeoGraft's website promoting their product.  I'm not sure NeoGraft is used today by many doctors but it was very popular a number of years ago.

Every year I post this original video taken by Dr. Vories at Carolina Hair Surgery.  It has been viewed more than 75,000 times.  When this procedure was completed it was believed to be the largest FUE graft count surgery in one continuous session.  It took 2.5 days to complete.  I have had no discernible hair loss in the recipient areas since that week in 2012.

 HAPPY NEW YEARS!  

The photo on the left was taken at the Brown hotel in Louisville, Kentucky on New Year's eve this year.  The other photo was taken on New Year's eve in Bardstown Kentucky many years ago.
