I had an FUE transplant with Dr Bisanga in Belgium. The whole experience was so great I've decided to share it, in hope that it might inspire other people who were in my position.
From start to finish, the clinic was really accommodating (shout out to Hilde the patient coordinator for being there on WhatsApp for lots of annoying questions from me).
I am 28 and have pretty severe hair loss, maybe a Norwood 5 or 6. I covered it up quite successfully for many years with Toppik.
After years of research on many forums, word of mouth and after seeing about six clinics in the UK, USA and Europe, as well as having micropigmentation in London, I decided to go with Dr Bisanga after meeting them in London for a consultation.
I had around 3200 grafts in the frontal area, it was pretty uncomfortable for about a week after, but after that, all my friends just thought I had shaved my head and that I had a good hairline!
I will need another 2000+ grafts on the top and crown at some point and am planning to do this ASAP and will definitely be booking into Bisanga again.
A month in and some shedding has occurred but not lots, I am very happy with the result so far.
I'm on finasteride and oral minoxidil.
I will try to post photos of my progress as time goes on, if you have any specific questions please do ask.
Pre Transplant Photos and Immediately after surgery.
Here are weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4 after surgery.
Here is my 4-month update, it`ll be 5 months in 8 days time.
The lighting is a little different from the other shots which might be a little deceptive, in full light you can still see my scalp, hopefully, this will thicken up in the coming months!
I get many compliments on how good it's looking and very happy so far, looking forward to the coming months!
8 month update. This photo has more direct sunlight. You can see it has some more thickening to do, but I'm hoping this will happen as time progresses.
