So I didn't have hair loss inasmuch as I wanted to lower my hairline. We originally agreed on 1,800 grafts, but I only needed 1,302. The staff was awesome as was Dr. Farhan who performed my procedure. Updated on 3 Mar 2020: Did my day 10 wash to get rid of the scabs. Got about 98% of them. The funny thing now is realizing how high my forehead was pre-surgery. I didn't have a lot of loss, but I never liked my high hairline. Anyways, these hairs will shed, I'll enter the "ugly phase", and then new permanent hairs will grow. The crazy thing is how many compliments I've already received! Stay tuned folks! Updated on 16 Mar 2020: Day 23, and I have officially entered the shedding phase. This is where one must exercise patience, as the grafts go into a mini-hibernation. This was to be expected, so it's awaiting game from here. Updated on 20 Jul 2020: My hairline is filling in quite nicely. I had 1,302 to lower my hairline. That pic was from last month (at the 4 months post-op time). I Will post month 5 photos to show you the progress. It's a marathon, and not a sprint must be very patient. the results will come I promise Updated on 22 Jul 2020: I had my FUE procedure done on Feb 21, 2020 at RESTORE Hair in Plano, TX. I'm from CA, but chose the location because the clinic really made me feel comfortable, and I got a good price. 1,302 grafts to lower my forehead, and fill in the receding corners. Updated on 20 Jan 2021: Wow it's almost been a year. Such an incredible journey. Final results are 12-15 months, so I'm just about there. All pics are WITHOUT hair fibers. Thinking about a second procedure for more density, but that may just be Hair greed.

Dr. Katona and his staff are of the highest caliber of professionalism with the perfect blend of friendliness. I feel you need to really educate yourself before committing to these sorts of decisions and he put me at ease with both his knowledge and presence. My procedure was split over 2 days (about 10 hours each day). I was comfortable and at ease the entire time. The recover was super easy. 1 week of hiding in my house and then i left for a European vacation for 2 weeks and hung out in Austria with a hat on and nobody knew anything. By the time i returned, the shaved area of my scalp had started to grow back and i looked like I had a modern close haircut with zero scabs or other signs from the procedure. The photos here are from before and 148 days after - so not even 6 months - and my understanding is that the 'big' growth hasn't even begun yet - that tends to occur between 6 and 10 months. Dr. Katona has my HIGHEST recommendation!

I had this procedure done by Dr.Katona at RESTORE. 1800 grafts. I am very happy right now and I was told the full results wont be obtainerd for another 5 months. This was roughly a 6 to 7 hour procedure, including a 15 minute lunch break. The staff and the Dr. himself were very kind, courteous and professional people. I am very happy. Updated on 23 Mar 2017: !3 months after my procedure I am happy for the most part. I wish the hair would have become fuller/ thicker but that is not the case. Still a huge improvement so I am satisfied. Now I have the crown of my head that has gone totally bald.  I am going to look into a different clinic because this Dr. and his business has gone through the "roof" in popularity due to one retired professional foot ball player. Great Doctor, great staff and God Bless them and their success.  I see quite a few people going out of the country for this so that will be what I will be researching.  Thanks to everyone that is on here and those that manage this site.
