3 more days till my surgery, Im getting nervous. I will be going in for 2000 graphs here is the pic I have been promising...

Where "Boom Headshot" Originated -------> http://media.putfile.com/FPS-doug

where r u going to?

The Boom Headshot was a joke because I was taking a PIC of the top of my head.You muat be a CS player:P I play AA the best game of all.

Troy- I am going to Dr. Konier in Chicago to have my TP done. It's been a 4 month wait since he only does 1 per day.

I have only seen good things about him. I can remeber being full of anxioty myself. Now that I have been through it, I wouldnt be woriied at all to do it again. I think the biggest fear was the unknown. I think with Konier you be in good hands.

Thanks troy! by looking at my pic would you think that 2000 grafs would fill the bald area on the front of my forlock?

From what I've seen Konior does excellent work........especially the hairline. Can you post anything clearer?? From what I'm seeing, just a guess, but I'd want more like 2500-3000. In the end I'm sure Doc Konior knows his stuff and will lead you down the right path. You may want to find out how many sq cm of coverage this will provide you with. For hairline/front work I'd think you'll want 45-55 sq cm at least.

Well I am all done woth 2300 in the front. Dr. Konior did a great job. I will be posting more pic once i feel better.

congrat Rockwell!! IMO the hardest part is now done. There is a nice feeling of being on this side of the whole emotional expirence. In a couple weeks you will have your stiches out and be well on your way, best of luck to you.

Rockwell,

Congratulations on taking the plunge. As you discovered, you were in great hands with Dr. Ray Konior.

We all look forward to seeing your immediate post op photos. I also encourage you to create your own Weblog to document your progress. The instructions are at http://hair-restoration-info.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f...6060861/m/1901082912

Best wishes for growing a bumper crop. 2,300 grafts should make a big difference in your hairline area.

Pat

Congrats on taking the plunge and getting to the other side. I'll be anxious to see your pics when you have time to post. Good luck healing up post-op.

This is day 4 not much shockloss but Dr. Konior and his staff worked 10.0 hours on my hair without many breaks. I am very pleased with the outcome and I would recommend them to anyone considering a hair transplant.

All posters on this site has been a great help and without all of you I dont think my experience would been so pleasurable.

Thanks again to all

Quick question for you guy's. I been waiting for the shockloss in the front but I
dont see any yet. Could it be because I spray hair 10 times per day w/ salene & Minoxidil Extra strength? I also take 1 mg of propecia.

thx

Shock loss can occur anywhere from 10 days to 2 months. From what I've read on others experiences, you'll usually notice it sooner than later. Even HT hair gets shocked out so I'm not sure there's anything to aid in preventing it. For me, I noticed it most when my grafts were shedding around the 2 week mark. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones and not experience much, but be prepared.

Your recent set of pics provides a better view of Dr. Konior's work. It looks great! From what I've seen, he does super hairline work..........I think you'll be pleased with your results.

Thanks for your reply hairbank and you been a great help.

Hello all my 3 month mark is coming up and I cant wait to see the hair grow. I will be posting new pics next month.
