Hi All,
Thanks in a lot to this site and the threads posted in it I decided to get my hair transplant done with Dr Arshad.
I’m 27 now and I noticed I was first slowly receding at about the age of about 19/20, but until recently I’ve always been able to hide it but with lockdown it seemed the perfect opportunity to get it done.
I had my video consultation with Sommiya and the whole talk felt natural and that she wasn’t trying to push me into anything, just to give me information about what they could offer.
I arrived at the clinic at 7.45 and was met by Adam who chatted with me and put me at ease straight away. Dr Hamza then took me through to meet Dr Arshad and they both then discussed what I wanted and how it could be achieved. Initially I was advised for 2000 grafts but Dr Arshad said the results would be better with an extra 500 and because of how dense my donor area is it wouldn’t be a problem if another transplant was needed in the future.
Dr Hamza then extracted the grafts after the anaesthetic was injected which is the most painful part of the day. He ended up with an extra 200, so finished on 2700. This part of the day was done pretty quickly and we were finished at about 11 so Dr Arshad then cut in the channels and was finished before dinner at about 1.30.
After dinner the technicians started inserting the grafts under the supervision of both Doctors who came in regularly to check on how things were going. This part lasted until about 6.30 and is pretty painless but boring.
Before leaving Dr Arshad and Dr Hamza took pictures of the transplant and had a chat with me about what to expect and how it should look in the future.
My graft count was:
Refined multiples 426
Refined singles 62
Ones 101
Doubles 1978
Triples 139
I am now 3 weeks post transplant and appear to have healed quite well, I have also been given 1mg of finasteride to take once daily. Attached are photos from before and post transplant aswell as weeks 1,2 and 3 progress.
