Although this is my first post on here I have been present on other forums for the post four years and I thought it would be a good idea to post my hair transplant experience so far.
I am 24 years old and underwent a 2968 FUE operation with Dr Feriduni on the 20th and 21st October 2011.
Donor density: 108 FU/CM2
Transplanted density on average 50cm2 alothough this fluctuated depending upon the amount of native hair present.
Breakdown of follicles extracted:
422 Single
1680 double
866 treble
Overall I was very impressed with the dedication of Dr Feriduni and his staff and look forward to some good growth in a few months time.
Dr Feriduni estimates that I have another 3000 FUE donor supply should I need it in the future. I have been on finasteride and minoxidil for four years. I found Dr Feriduni very understanding in my situation and he patiently answered my many questions during the pre operative consultation. I also found both Daphne and Cristian very helpful in arranging the surgery for me.
People often talk about the skill of the Doctor, however the skills of the technicians/nurses cannot be underestimated either and I found them to be first class. I am now looking forward to some decent growth in the coming months.
The wrinkles in my scalp is a condition called CVG which means I have high scalp elasticity as a result of too much skin to cover my scalp.
Day before
I had a consultation the day before (Wednesday 19th). The Dr answered all the question I asked him and we went through an inital design of the hairline to see what I wanted and his initial thoughts. We were not very far off to begin with. It was decided that the hairline would not lowered but I would have some of the temples filled in to make the hairline look smoother.
1st Day
I arrived into the clinic at about 8.10 and greeted by the Dr. I was taken to my room for the day where I was provided with medical clothes to wear for the day. One changed I was led into the Dr's office at around 8.15am to confirm I was happy with hairline and that I had not changed my mind. Lines were drawn over my hrad to mark out the areas to be operated on.
Two medical assistants greeted me asking if I was nervous and I was very nervous!I was taken to have my hair shaved and wash. Afterwards I was guided to the operating chair to have the antibiotics and anaesthetics taken. I am not afraid of needles but these injections really stung, the painful part of the surgery. I had to lie on my front for around 3-4 hours for the extraction which was 0.95m punch. I cant remember the axact time because I fell asleep.
Was the extractions were taken I was guided to my room to have some lunchI felt quite dizzy due to the injections and being on my front for such a long time. It is quite frustrating because I am certainly not used to staying in the same place for long period.
After lunch I was guided back to the operating chair and the doctor begain making the incisions which took up to 2 hours. The medical assistant then started the placements. The Dr frequently came by to check everything was ok.
At around 5.30 pm I was done for the day and happy to be out of the chair ready for a hair wash. The nurse talked me through it all to make sure I was fine with it. Aferwards I changed back into normal clothes, the Dr checked me out then a taxi took me to my hotel.
Day 2
Day 2 would not be quite as long since most of the grafts has been removed the previous day. I met the Dr at 8.15am who asked if everything was ok. The only problem I had was sleeping due to having to sleep on my back with a neck pillow. I usueally sleep face down so It was not the best night sleep.
I changed in my room for the day and was taken to have my hair washed. Afterwards I was taken the chair for the injections before the extractions started. This lasted around 2 hours and I chatted to the doctor for a while.
The follicles were all examined under microscope as soon as groups of them were extracted. Incisions were them made to create my hairline followed by the placements.
The operation was done my 1:30pm. I had a post op hairwash followed my some lunch. The Dr came by to check it all looked ok and told me to call him should I have any further questions or concerns.
The following day I returned for a hair wash before making the journey back to the UK.
