This is a recent picture of my lovely wife of 31 years, Michele and me at a local restaurant in Louisville Kentucky.  Compare it from the picture taken prior to my surgery in 2012.  Thank you Dr. Vories!

I'm often asked about what to expect during the first year of growth.  This series of pictures provide a good visual result over the course of the year.  New hair started growing around three months.

 

 

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.
