Pics of donor area follow. These were taken on day one. Its healing quickly but because you have to sleep on your back for 4-5 days (the worst bit of the whole thing for me) this area has a lot of pressure placed on it - and you could really do without that. For that reason its been a little sore at times (and the only area that is) but nothing major.

Thought i had got away with any noticeable swelling but by Day 3 it had set in and started moving from forehead down face. But minor swelling for a couple of days in return for a brand new hairline is a no brainer trade off! Dr told me punch size at consultation but i totally forgot. think 0.5. Will let you know.

Hey Guys,

I just returned from Belgium from a FUE procedure with Dr Feriduni. I have been 'umming and arring' about having an HT for nearly three years - it was my last resort - and finding the right doc was an absolute priority. I have been receding since about 24 (now 34) and it had got increasingly worse in last two years. Fortunately i didnt need a major amount of work. Receding temple areas were really beginning to bug me and i was becoming increasingly concerned about it - and for good reason.

Thanks to this site I eventually decided to skip the UK and go to Belgium to see Dr Feriduni as he was highly recommended. Reckon i made the right decision. Dr Feriduni is a lovely guy. very modern clinic and great team. The work he's done seems excellent and very clean. I may have liked my hairline a little lower but swelling needs to go down and hair to grow. I can always get a small retouch in 12 months or so if needs be. Most important thing is the work done is very good!

Its obviously very early days but having had i can tell anyone considering that it really is not as big a deal as you may think. It sounds a scary proposition but no real issues. Couldnt feel a thing in clinic. was absolutely painless. Healing very well. Should be getting back to normal in a weeks time. Photos attached - Should point out photo with bandage immediately after op wednesday. Others on day two....note swollen forehead!! Will update with progress.
