Dr Lorenzo himself removed my hair prior to starting any surgery, he did all the extractions and then placed all the grafts himself manually. This was done when he was working in Manchester. The most important thing for me was, from the first moment I met him he came over as very confident in his obvious abilities. And yes, the speed he works at is quite amazing.

All pictures where Not taken at the clinic. This is my thread not a clinics. And as far as I am aware, the farjo clinic do Not offer a hair dying service. Sorry no hair has been tinted , dyed or chemically altered in the making of this HT. LoL !

No I am not taking any medication. I would be really interested in your whole experience when you do have your next HT in Madrid. I myself would definitely go back to Dr Lorenzo if I need more work doing in the future. Am I right in thinking he is only 2 hours away. Good luck by the way hope it goes well for you.

Thanks Hairweare, I have been to my barber a few times now and he has never said anything. Each time I go I seem to have a little more hair and my bold spot gets smaller. I have been waiting for him to question it when I go each time ,but no, nothing. I then come out wondering has it not grown as much as I imagine it has or is he a little baffled, or perhaps some people just don't take that much notice anymore. I do remember though him telling me once that to hide my bald spot I should burn a bottle cork and dab it on the spot. ( Gave that one a miss) I will tell him though if he ever asks. I don't see it as anything to be embarrassed about. I think each and every one of us on here should feel quite proud of ourselves for making such a huge decision to go ahead with a transplant. I remember how scared I was at the beginning of it all and knowing nothing about the whole process. Thank goodness for this forum, it helped me so much.

Hi everyone, I am now at 32 weeks post op (7 months) My hair is filling in more now, I have noticed the left front side is a little thinner than the right and the crown is still a little see through but getting better all the time. I have been told that the crown is always a bit slower to catch up. I have quite a lot of grey hair now (age related) mostly on the sides which makes it look thinner in the pictures. I don't mind it though, Hair is hair.

I did consider strip surgery and did lots and lots of research before making a decision. I really didn't want to end up with a scar on the back of my head. I used to wear my hair short for many years and only let it get longer as I started to loose some of my hair. I am hoping to keep it short again in the future. My mind was made up to go for Fue after seeing Dr Lorenzo's results on other patients and reading all the positive feedback from people about him. I also wanted to visit the clinic and meet him in person before going ahead with anything. Like I said before he has such a passion for what he does and that just shines through when you speak to him, that for me just inspired so much confidence. This forum and the people on it helped me so much as well.

The thing I liked about him most was that he did all the work himself, and you can tell he has a real passion for what he does.

Was told to be careful not to bump my head , also not to scratch it ( although the itching was driving me mad) but used a saline spray which eased it off quite a lot, and had to be a little careful which way I slept at night. But all worth it.

Well it has been just over 20 weeks now since my HT and things are starting to happen, the sides are starting to fill in (the right side a little more than the left up to now) and the crown has started to fill in a bit as well. Will put some pictures up. Thank you Dr Lorenzo.

I had my Ht done with Dr Lorenzo in March and was so glad I decided to go to him, the guy is 100% committed to his craft. I'm sure it will go really well for you.

Now day 21, I have seen a few more little hairs shedding when I shower. I think most of them are from the top and crown area. Only falling out though to make way for my new permanent ones.

I was thinking of keeping my hair quite short till it grows back, I was always bothered about people seeing me with really short hair but they soon get used to it. I have got used to it now and it is funny to look back at the photos we took just before the HT and see myself with longer hair. I told myself before having it done that I would not think about the shedding or looking into a mirror daily. I will just focus on the months ahead and get stuck back into my work. I also think this helps the time to go by much quicker.

Just a quick update, I started to shed a few hairs yesterday. I can't see any shock loss in the donor area up to now. It is horrible to see them fall out but I just keep thinking ahead to when then return.

I will do, this forum and the people on it helped me to make my mind up about going ahead with having my HT and also having Fue done. I do think it is important to try and meet the Dr of your choice first face to face before making any kind of decision. Talking to Dr Lorenzo first helped me a lot and made me feel a lot more confident about going ahead, Mick was also very helpful answering any questions I had ( even the silly ones) It is a big step to take and one that you have to try and get right first time, I think that's what makes it all the more daunting, it can be a life changing thing for some people.

Hi guys, everything has been going well , just been quite itchy. I have always been told that just means things are healing up. We took these pictures on day 15 after transplant day. We had to take a second set as the first ones looked a little dark in natural light, the second ones where taken with a overhead light on. What do you guys think about progress, I know I will miss my new hair line though when it starts to shed.

These pictures are from day 14, my hair has still been growing although the crown area has been a little slower keeping up.

Pictures from day 11.

Day 8.

These are from day 6, nearly all my scalp had cleaned up by this time.

Sorry for the quality of some of the pictures.

I am really happy with the way things went, it is funny how much I dreaded the fact that I was losing some of my hair and how It would end up looking. Then going through the HT and part of it was to sit there and have all my hair taken off anyway, the difference being that losing hair to mother nature was out of my control but I guess when it was my decision to do it didn't seem to feel so bad, and the fact that when it all grows back things should look much better. I also made the decision from the start of all this that I would try my best not to spend too much bothering about my hair growing or shedding, I just keep thinking further ahead to the end result, I hope that having a good attitude towards this will help things along. Anyway a few more pictures, these are from day after.

These were taken about 15 minutes after Dr Lorenzo finished. He then told me what I needed to do, top of the list was to make sure I didn't bump my head on the car on my way back home.

Thanks guys, I forgot to add that I am 52 years old and here are the statistics from my procedure. Statistics: Total Grafts: 2401 Hairs: 6336 Hair per graft: 2.64 FU1: 153 FU2: 870 FU3: 1069 FU4: 309 Hair thickness: 54-56 microns Puch: 0.9 mm

Few more.

This was the extent of my hair loss ( much worse than I thought looking at it from this angle)
