4200 Grafts FUE at Hattingen / Sept 24

Hi there,
First time poster here! Just wanted to share my experience with Hattingen Hair with you guys.
I started noticing some shedding on top of my head around 2021/2022 and it is only then that I started doing some research about medication and hair transplant.
After a few months looking at various hair transplant results, I stumbled upon a youtube video mentioning Dr. Laura and Sever Muresanu, praising the quality of the HT performed at their Hattingen Hair Clinic.
I checked Hattingen's very own Youtube channel and, impressed by the results I saw there, contacted Dr. Muresanu to schedule an appointment.
He invited me to come to his office to take a deeper look and explain to me the extent of the miniaturization that was happening on my scalp.
He also took the time to take a look at some pictures of my dad and other male family members to take into account the genetic aspects of my hair loss.

Although he mentioned that HT was an option, he first suggested trying other alternatives (such as different hairstyles or medication), an advice that I decided to follow.

Fast forward to spring 2024, after an inconclusive attempt with medication, I contacted Dr. Muresanu again and informed him that I was ready to move on with the hair transplant and we agreed to perform an HT using FUE in september 2024. Dr.Muresanu suggested and we agreed on a more conservative hairline design, considering the possible future hair loss and the priority of a natural look long term, something that “I can grow into” was the term he used. Needless to say that the entire surgery proceeded as a well choreographed and routine team.

I will keep you updated on my progress.
Best,
E

Hattingen are class, one of the leaders out there. I was going to pull the trigger with them 2 years ago, but my finances took a tumble. I will get there one day.
The work looks stellar, it is amazing how clean it looks. Congrats on pulling the trigger.

Welcome to the forum Ericp. You chose a great clinic in Hattingen. Dr Sever gave you good advice regarding hairstyling and trying meds before deciding on a HT. What meds did you try and what was the outcome?
The HT work looks very good. The placement and extractions are nice and clean. Was the surgery completed in one day? The 4200 grafts should produce a very good result for you.
I’m looking forward to following your progress.
Thanks for joining and sharing your story.
All the best.

Thanks Mandingo ! It is indeed quite a budget but it is also worth waiting and saving a bit more as you will get excellent results.

Thank you Bigmac! I tried oral minoxidil which started working but stopped taking it because I was experiencing too many (well known) side effects. As for the surgery, you are correct, it was performed in one day.

Best,

Too bad you got sides from the oral minoxidil. Would you consider Finasteride? Maybe a low dose to start. Finasteride really helped me with my hair, I have been using it since 2005. Without it my loss would have kept progressing.

Hattingen do have a very experienced team so I’m not surprised they were able to complete this in one day.

It should look great once it’s grown.

Thanks for the advice ! I haven't thought about finasteride but after my experience, I prefer not to take chances with sides and stick to the topical route from now on.
