This is a picture of new little hairs poking through the skin in my crown area just 11 weeks after my procedure.

The picture on the bottom is one of my favorites!  You can really see the transformation!  Thanks Dr. Vories and Carolina Hair 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!

 I haven't shown this picture in a long time.  As most of you know, Dr. Vories took me to the Bahamas for the International Hair Surgeons conference in the Bahamas just five weeks after my first surgery.  I was on display and being examined by hair surgeons from all over the world.  I had received over 5,000 FUE grafts which was unheard of at the time in 2012.  Most doctors were amazed at my recovery in such a short amount of time.  You can see how bald I was and classified as a Norwood 6 at the time.

This picture was taken of my crown area 11 weeks after my surgery.  You can clearly see the new hairs that have penetrated the scalp.

 How about this for a transformation!  Thank you Dr. Vories and Carolina Hair Surgery!

 

                                                                                          

I wanted to post a video today of Dr. Vories talking about the FUE process vs. the FUT (strip surgery).  This video includes very interesting information and video of the procedures.  Take a look...this video is less than 3 minutes in length and includes video images of me.

 

Just wanted to post a picture showing the great transformation!  Thanks again to Carolina Hair Surgery!

 

Merry Christmas everyone!  Notice the difference between these two pictures taken during the Holiday season a few years apart.

 

This video has been viewed over 74,131 times!  At the time in 2012 this was thought to be the largest FUE surgery ever performed in one session.  Thank you again Dr. Vories at Carolina Hair Surgery.

 

I was a Norwood VI back in September 2012.  Take a look at the before and after photos. Thank you Dr. Vories!

 

Carolina Hair Surgery recently sent me this picture from their archives showing the progression of hair growth with me over several months during the first year. 

 

 

My blog has been averaging over 1,000 views a day for about a month!!!  I sure appreciate you sharing this blog with others.  Also, thank you Carolina Hair Surgery!  Dr. Vories is the MASTER of hair transplants!

These pictures are a good before / after and include my beautiful wife Michele.  We've been married for 32 years! Michele is a hair dresser and cuts my hair regularly.  She said he hasn't noticed any or very little hair loss in the recipient areas over the past 13 years since my surgery. 

 

 Wow!  What a difference!  Thank you Carolina Hair Surgery!

 

Here's a picture from the past prior to surgery and a current picture taken of my wife and I at a recent show at the Palace Theater in Louisville, Kentucky.  

 

I'm often asked about scarring after surgery.  Dr. Vories used a 0.8mm punch and there is no visible scarring. This short 1 minute 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.

 

 

I haven't shown this picture in a while!  The picture on the right was taken five weeks AFTER my first surgery in 2012.  I was on display at the International Hair Restoration conference with Dr. Vories.  

Wow, what a transformation!

 

 Nearly 13 years later and my hair still looks great!  I've posted one of my favorite pictures of all time!
