Confidence Through Transformation
After a lifetime of being plagued by insecurities of the appearance of my patchy beard and bald chin, I chose to take control of the situation and pursue a beard transplant. I was not aware such a procedure was a possibility until several weeks ago when I read a feature about it. The idea that after a lifetime of suffering my embarrassing bald chin, I might actually have a real, full beard...

Dr. Vories and Carolina Hair Surgery is the Best!
I've had two hair transplant, follicular unit extraction (FUE) surgeries with Dr. Vories over the past 7 years. My results were awesome and Dr. Vories made every extraction and placed every graft himself. His clinic and team of technicians are wonderful and my results are proof! Everyone says I appear to be 10 years younger and I've had no discernible hair loss since the surgeries. Thank...
Amazing results after just 1500 grafts
I had option of going to Turkey or India and get HT done. However if hair line in front is not good then any number of grafts won’t work. Dr. Vories did a amazing job with 1500 grafts.
1500 FUE Hairline Lowering - Fort Mill, SC
After getting tired of using bangs and side parts to cover my hairline I realized I needed to do something about it. The procedures I looked into were the scalp advancement, and the FUT and FUE hair transplants. After doing my research I decided a FUE hair transplant would be the best choice long-term. I had a great experience with the actual procedure and am looking forward to seeing the...

A: Based on the photos I would estimate between 2000-2500 FUE grafts to fill in the apex (corner areas) of the hair line and frontal forelock. Generally hair loss is progressive, but because your father has a similar hairline may indicate your hair loss will slow down.
A: Shock loss can mean two things- loss of the transplanted hair and loss of the native hair. Shock loss of the transplanted hair should be expected, and happens about two weeks after the procedure. This is temporary and the permanent growth begins around the third month. Shock loss of the native hair rarely happens in hairline cases because the native hair maintains it blood supply behind the transplanted area. There is no need for minoxidil for the procedure, although minoxidil can be useful for maintaining the native hair from typical male hair loss progression.
A: If there is an obvious asymmetry with the hairline, there is no reason to have to wait for a touch up procedure, it can be done anytime.
A: From the photos this appears to be the beginning of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), or male pattern hair loss. Given your age it is important to see a physician to consider beginning finasteride to mitigate the hair loss as it evolves over time.
A: This is actually a question about punch size. Using smaller punches (we generally use a 0.80 mm punch for Caucasian cases) will result in a smaller wound size, and allow for tighter hair length.
