Update on my 2nd Fue Hair Transplant

It's day 10 after my second hair transplant.  I took two Hydrocodones about 10pm to ensure a good nights sleep.  I haven't had any Ibuprofen this morning and my head is feeling better.  I plan to play golf at 1pm so I will most likely take three Ibuprofen prior to walking 18 holes of golf just to be safe.

Today I'm posting some pictures Dr. Vories sent me. I'm posting a "Right Side Oblique" view of my head pre-surgery and post-surgery.

Update from my 2nd FUE Hair Transplant!

I'm posting some pictures today of the sides and back of my head just after surgery.  Dr. Vories is sending me more pictures that he took last Saturday. I will post some of those in the next day or two. I'm taking my prescription Hydrocodone as directed each day to stay ahead of the pain.  I usually access whether I'm having discomfort or pain every hour when I spray my head with the saline solution provided to me at the clinic..  I typically take one Hydrocodone during the day and take two about 10pm each night so I'll have a good nights rest.  I usually wake up with a little discomfort "stinging" in the back of my head which I attribute to the back of my head laying on the pillow and moving around a bit during my sleep. I've been averaging about four or five Hydrocodones per day.

Update from my 2nd FUE Hair Transplant!

The morning after surgery, I woke up with a little dried blood on my head.  Apparently, I had reached up and rubbed my head in my sleep, despite taking a sleeping pill to keep me calm.  I had Dr. Vories take a look and he said he had seen much worse and that I had only disturbed less than 10 grafts, which is fraction of the 2,000 he transplanted.

I arrived back home last Sunday and my face began to show a little sign of swelling (see picture).  Sunday night I woke myself up when I bumped my head with my hand in my sleep and I felt some pain, but no damage was done.  I will post more pictures tomorrow, so....check back in!

1 Day after my 2nd FUE Hair Transplant

As most of you know who follow my blog on a regular basis..., I had 5,125 grafts transplanted back in September of 2012 (see archives on this blog site).  This past weekend I flew from Louisville KY to Charlotte N.C. to visit with Dr. Vories.  We decided to do some "touch-up" work to my hairline and to concentrate on a couple areas in the front.  After preparing and shaving my head, Dr. Vories commented on my donor area.  Remember, we extracted over 5,000 grafts two years ago!  He said there was virtually no sign of surgery from the past!!  He was astounded at how well my donor area recovered.  As a result he felt very comfortable removing 2,000 more grafts and moving them toward the front.

Here's a "selfie" that I took the evening after surgery.  Check back each day. I'll begin posting lots of photos!

DR. VORIES TRANSPLANTED 2,000 MORE GRAFTS TO THE FRONTAL AREA!  

STAY TUNED!!!!!!

2 Years & 16 Weeks since My FUE Hair Transplant

I travel to see Dr. Vories in 12 days to have surgery!  I hope to have about 2,000 grafts relocated!  Most of the grafts will be transplanted to the front with a little work on the hairline and an area just behind the hair line that Dr. Vories wants to make a bit thicker.  You really can't see the area when your looking straight at me but I can see it in the mirror and its more obvious when I dip my head (like the first picture).  The second picture was taken at the 2012 International Hair Surgeons conference in the Bahamas.  I was on display and being examined by hair surgeons from all over the world.  The conference and pictures were taken five weeks after receiving 5,125 grafts in September of 2012.

2 Years & 14 Weeks since My FUE Hair Transplant

Carolina Hair Surgery has confirmed my new date to have about 2,000 grafts done.  I will be traveling to Dr. Vories Charlotte clinic in early January!  So...in January I will be able to post many new photos of the procedure and progress reports throughout the year!  Keep checking back on my blog for updates!  Today, I'm posting a couple older pictures you may not have seen!
