Hi, long term reader first time poster. Well im 9 months post transplant I had 1500 FUE in February in a Harley street clinic.
I was 29 at the time and thought I better do something about my hair line before its to obvious, I was receding at the temples, more so on the right than left but was told not to an obvious degree but I thought differently.
I had been researching hair transplants for about 1 year and had 5 consultations at UK clinics as going abroad wasn t an option for me.
After seeing what the FUT procedure entailed I opted for FUE (no judgement on FUT patient, just not for me) and was told the same at most clinics that I needed 1500/2000 hairs transferred from the donor area.
The surgeon I went with put me at ease though out the consultation and mentioned things the others had not ( I had researched all the surgeons before my consultations as best I could and the reviews were 99% positive) so decided to book up after more research and more pondering.
The surgery took 2 days, absolutely no problem was happy though out the two days, everybody involved was pleasant and I was comfortable, even nodded off a couple of times.
No problems afterwards, a small amount of swelling over the next few days and followed the after care to the letter.
I opted to shave my head before the procedure but wouldn t do that again as it just makes you look at your head all the more, which in the first 3/4 months drives you insane.
The donor area healed a treat and the redness went down but took a bit longer than I thought.
At this stage I think I`m 80% happy with the transplant but the density isn t what I had hoped but have a follow up appointment on 21[suP]st[/suP] to discuss that.
That is my only issue and would love some feed back, surely it s the surgeons expert opinion that judges the number of hairs transplanted and if he gets in wrong it s a pretty big deal? I was never on a budget so wasn t looking for a cheap job just wanted my hair to look like it did before, am I being unrealistic?
Look forward to hearing back.
