4167 Grafts FUE Hattingen / May 10+11 2021

Hi there,

I had my hairtransplant at Hattingen clinic on May 10 and 11 2021. Their new clinic is located in Stetten. Not far away from the city of Schaffhausen.

I will soon turn 39 and and I have a diffuse hair loss on the top. The hairloss happened all of a sudden at the age of 21 and did not progress ever since. I actually could hide it pretty well with my hairstyle but it still bothered me in windy and rainy weather and so I took the
plunge. I'm not on medication since I do not notice that the hairloss has progressed.

The surgery went very well. No pain at all and the friendly staff knew what their were doing. I'm now on Day 18 and do not experience any shedding. Even the redness was gone after about 4 days. I now have Dandruff in the donor area and it seem that my seborreheic dermatitis got a little bit stronger.
Besides that I feel very good. You cannot see that I had surgery.

Looking forward to the result.

Best,
Bushi

Welcome to the forum Bushy.
That`s a decent size FUE surgery you`ve had. Was it done in a single session or over 2 consecutive days?
The work looks nice and clean. At 18 days you are healing very well.
What a strange hair loss pattern you had. Losing it at 21 with no further progression has allowed you to stay away from the hair loss meds

These 4000 plus grafts will make a big difference to your appearance.
I`m looking forward to following your progress.
All the best

Hi Bm,

Thanks for your message. The surgery took 2 full days.

Yes, my hairloss was indeed strange. There is no real hairloss in my family.

The last photo was from yesterday. The other 3 without scabs were 7 days after surgery

Thanks for confirming the surgery days. Your last photo from yesterday looks great. People in the street wouldn`t give you a second look.

Wow that’s a massive fue. What does your head look like now?

Looking at your donor I would never think you had over 4000 grafts removed. What size fue punch are Hattingen using?

Yes, my donor is pretty good and healed very quickly. I actually do not know the punch size, sorry

I am guessing about 0.8 when I’ve looked at other donor extractions. Did you use something after surgery to speed up healing?

No, nothing. Was already healed up a couple days after surgery. Scabs were gone after 1 week.

Amazing. Your metabolism must be fast with good healing capabilities.

Everything looks right on track with the post op healing and progress. Now you’ve just got to wait for the growth to happen.

Short update. It has been exactly 3 months since surgery. Happy that my native hair grew back, since you never know with shockloss.

There is no new growth as of today. But trusting the process I guess :). But I try to update monthly.

Have a good day,

Bushi

I think your growth is starting when I compare your pictures to before your surgery.

The middle top section looks to have increased in density unless it’s the long hair making it appear so.

It is looking good. There is a thinner patch on the donor picture. Is it shock loss?
