    Good question!! This was a biggy for me too! ..... All the info was in the pack that dr Feridiuni had sent me after an online consultation. Of course it depends on each individual case but IT IS possible to do the procedure around your already existing hair. However, as the info explains, shaving the recipient area allows the Dr to make the incisions around your existing hair follicles and causes much less stress to the hair you already have. Should you choose to not shave it or go really short, it means the hair has to be combed through several times, the chances of getting as good hair follicle placement is a bit more hit or miss and the trauma that this causes to your already existing hair could cause shock loss!! Eekk! That kind of sold it for me, because I would rather my hair would grow from scratch rather than lose my hair through shock loss and not knowing when I would see it again. I'm just hibernating for a few weeks! Hope this info helps!

    I don't know the stats exactly but i am revisiting the surgery today before going back home so i'm sure I will get everything from Dr Feriduni. I know that he said the Scar was quite long but quite thin. It runs from just behind and above each ear all the way around and feels like a pretty neat job! I'll try and get more of the Grafts breakdown.... Scalp exercises - I sort of did quite intensive bursts of them because I booked the surgery only a week ago, so I was pretty worried that I wouldn't have as good scalp laxity as someone who was doing their exercises weeks in advance. Turns out that I needn't have been worried one bit, the Doc was more than happy - I think it helped that I was a bit younger too!

    Hey Everyone! So in my intro I kind of explained that I had been planning my hair restoration procedure for over a year, doing research into different treatments and surgeons.

    Having decided I wanted to go with Dr Feriduni, it was just about timing for the procedure and so Yesterday was the big day!

     

    It was all pretty painless indeed! Bit rough having to sleep on my back cos i just want to roll over onto my side or front!

     

    I received 3054 grafts in total - the breakdown of which I am not entirely sure.

     

    I cannot praise and recommend Dr Feriduni and his WONDERFUL team highly enough!!

    Having only booked the operation a week before I was due to undergo the procedure and never having met Dr Feriduni in person, they could not have put me more at ease.

     

    Yesterday morning when I was with the Dr planning the new hairline design and what I wanted, it would've been very easy for me to get carried away like a kid in a toy store - wanting a new hairline like i was 17 again! But I trust Dr Feriduni implicitly - his entire approach is professional and you are completely assured with manner in which he conducts himself - showing his many years of experience and expertise and his attention to detail as well as being extremely personable!

     

    This morning, all the bandages are off, my forehead is a bit swollen but he has reassured me that this will go down, and i'm already excited about the results to come months down the line.

     

    Dr Feriduni has also noted a slight thinning at my crown but doesnt recommend that i start Finesteride until maybe a years time - so as not to start it too soon, and just track progress myself. I'm not thinking about another procedure that I may require a few years down the line - I'm only 26 - but Hopefully I have a lovely full head of hair for a few more years yet!

     

    I'll try my best to keep photos up to date - after all it's something to do while im having downtime post op!!

     

    Let me know what you think!

     

    thanks
