Hairdryer (Nick) FUE 2.127grafts, 20-09-2022

[Hairdryer]

Hello everyone,

My name is Nick and I work for Seneca Medical Group. As most of us, I distinguished my hair falling gradually from my twenties but the problem over the years was getting worse especially at my temples.

As I work for Seneca I decided to go ahead and perform my first hair transplant that I will share with you at this forum.

I am 42 years old and as I already told you my problem starts at the age of 20. In the beginning I started with hair loss therapies as minoxidil and other lotions but I did not see any difference to my hair loss.

Long story short I decided to go ahead and perform my first hair transplant before 1 month at Seneca Athens’ clinic with Dr. Elza Bankovska.

Here (at this forum) I will share all the details of the operation step by step, month by month until today. I will remain active and provide enlightening photos until the 12-month period which I believe I will have the final result. Whoever wishes to see me in person I will be delighted to welcome him to Athens’ clinic.

To start with, some useful information concerning the operation, initially by mentioning that my donor area is not so fruitful as you can see from the photos underneath. Despite that, the doctor managed in 1 session the underlying:

Graft extraction: 2.127
Number of hairs implanted: 5.630
Graft ratio: 2,64

All information indicated underneath at the clinics report.

Moreover, underneath:
- photos before
-Photos just after the operation
-Photos every week in order for you to see the healing process.

Please feel free to ask me whatever you need.

Welcome to the forum Nick and thanks for sharing your story. Those 2127 grafts should make a nice difference. Healing looks to be going well.
Are you on a hair loss prevention regimen?
I`ll look forward to following your progress and your interaction on the forum.
All the best.

Thank you Bigmac!
I hope these grafts will make sense...
Healing is going well indeed.
i have started minoxidil 15 days after the operation and i have distinguished some hairloss.
I know that this is normal but i feel a little bit worried losing more hair....

 

[Bigmac]

Post-op you can look worse with shock loss and possible shedding from starting the meds. Just hang in, it will improve.

 

[Hairdryer]

Thanks for the tip Bigmac!
i will keep updating my progress with new photos every month.
And make patience of course...

Looks great and neat Nick. I'm actually going to Seneca next week for my first hair transplant. Will be great to meet !
I'll share my journey on this forum as well !

 

[Hairdryer]

Thanks @bartzof , i am located at Seneca Athens' clinic. It would be great to meet you, indeed! And discuss any queries you might have.
Have you booked a date?

 

[bartzof]

@Hairdryer Will be there for a 2 day surgery (28th ,29th November) at Seneca Athens !

Looks really neat and tidy work!!

I really like Seneca’s approach of doctors performing all extractions and implants.

I’ve been in touch with Peggy in the Glasgow clinic and am close to booking surgery for April 2023.

 

[Hairdryer]

Thanks @Edsarn!
Our doctors perform all the process by themselves from extraction till implantation!
I believe Peggy has guided you concerning our treatments and our results!
You can grant a discount as an early booking, so do not hesitate to book as soon as possible!
And of course you can ask me whatever you want...

 

[Edsarn]

As I’ve had 4 previous surgeries, I’ve had quite a few questions, but Peggy has been very patient.

I will document my results on this forum.

Hello guys,
I am adding new pictures 2 months post op in order to see the progress.
I am on foam minoxidil 15 days after the operation.

 

[Bigmac]

Everything is looking good at this early stage. Your crown is filling in, it must be a combination of the HT and meds giving you early growth.
Thanks for the update.

 

[Hairdryer]

Thank you @Bigmac.
Is it early to expect more growth at my temples in the next month?

 

[Bigmac]

Growth can happen at any time. You just have to be patient and let nature take its course.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm from Canada and will be travelling to Athens, Greece for a hair transplant. I was wondering if I can connect with you online or in person to gather more insight into the procedure & experience. Hoping that could help me in making a discission soon. Let me know if you won't mind me asking more questions.
Also, which doctor performed your procedure at seneca, Athens?

Thanks,
Nik Ag.
