Hello everyone,
A little information about me:
44 years old always had a widows peak with a rather high forehead. Slowly lost hair till about 30. Stabilized some by 35, I'd say then it started slowly again. Hard to tell but the rate never seemed rapid.
I thought I would post something today since I just got back to my apartment from day 1 of 2, and I am bored. I'll likely update tomorrow about the full surgery.
Several years ago I looked into a hair transplant in my local area but just didn't get a good vibe, so I held off. Wasn't taking medicine because apparently I live under a rock and had no clue it existed, so I continued to lose hair but at a rather slow rate. In March of 2021, I contacted several Dr's about my case and ultimately chose Dr. Bruno Ferreira mainly based on Rowlandos experience. Dr Ferreira asked me to try fin and I've been on it since. 1mg 3x week. Not seeing any difference but maybe it's keeping the hair I have.
Surgery date was set for Jan 11/12 3500+ planned in frontal area.
Surgery day, I arrived at the clinic around 7:15am and immediately changed into hospital shirt and pants. I was offered water and snacks but I had already eaten.
By 8am the Dr came in the room to go over a few things like what medication I was taking and preop postoperative paperwork.
I was then escorted to the camera room. Many pictures were taken and then we discussed the hairline. The Dr suggested that I don't get exactly symmetrical HL due to the fact that my head is slightly off. He advised me to keep it this way. I still wanted symmetry and we both agreed to meet in the middle. Slightly off symmetry but not as far off as his original line. After this we took more pictures.
I was then given a pill to relax me and surgery began soon afterwards. I don't have any issues with needles, so I'm probably not the best to describe the pain, but it was minimal when injecting the anesthesia.
Once he started, 1st round of extractions took about an hr. Then he Implanted front row of hair line.
By 2pm it was time for lunch and I really was ready for a break myself. We started again on the second round by 3pm and finished around 530pm. I left around 6pm.
Below are before pictures
