Hello guys
So I am currently 8 days post op
I received a FUE from Dr Luis nader on Jan 4 2017
I was debating on posting or not but decided to post since I'm loving my transplant thus far
So a little about me
I'm 29. I think i started losing my hair in 2013. I tried using biotin and Propecia. But Propecia made me break out.
A couple of months ago my barber told me about 1 of his clients going to Turkey to get a hair transplant. And he felt I was a good candidate since I still had very strong hair. So I decide to Google hair transplant and was so surprised that this existed. Didn't know any1 that's ever done this type of surgery at all.
After watching tons of youtube videos and was freaked out at the same time at the process.
I knew I wanted to get this done from seeing the before and after results
So some weeks fly by and I discover this forum.
Reading people's results page by page. Got a quote from a doctor in my city for 2000 grafts for 12k. Ummmm no thank u
So I stumbled upon several Dr Nader threads. And was very impressed at the results and "affordable price" every1 kept mentioning. Since McAllen tx/ reynosa MX was only a 1 hr flight from me. I decide to shoot Dr Nader an email. Lol this is the funny part
So I sent about 10 of the same emails everyday for a week straight. About 6 days later the famous Dr responded. Lol. I sent tones of pics and all the info he needed about me.
He replied with tons of info regarding what's going to happen, prices, and thought I needed between 1500-2500 grafts based on pics. Next he asked for me what dates I had available. I replied. Next day I replied again. This went on for a week. No response from him.
I said screw it! After talking to some guys that done it done that posted on this forum. I decide to just call the office!! Booked for Jan 4. I forwarded the receptionist my flight info.
And a week before my surgery she sent me my hotel info.
So I fly into McAllen Jan 3. Sleep at hotel. Paid for my Nader.
Morning of Jan 4 his driver picks me up. Lol he arrives at 730 even though my email said he was gonna arrive at 8am. Good thing im a early bird. We drive into Reynosa Mx. Maybe 15 min from hotel? Not once did I feel scared. My family thought i was nuts going to MX to get a transplant.
Haha I base my decision going there bcus of this forum and some guys on YouTube that went to Nader.
So I arrive at the office. Meet the famous Dr.
We talk for an hour or so about what's gonna happen. He draws my hair line and asks if I agree or not. And tells me I needed 1500 grafts. I was prepared to pay for 2500 grafts so I saved me some Mula! He said my hair was very thick. I barely had an single grafts that he could find.
Anyways u know what happens next. Grafts were removed from sides and back. Took a break. And then grafts were placed while I was sitting leaned back watching a movie. My head was numb the whole time so I didn't feel any pain at all. Nader removed and place all the grafts by himself along with an assistant. He had a team of maybe 5 or 6. I forgot.
So post op. We talked about everything. He printed out my daily routine for next week. And prescribed me pain meds, antibiotics, and anti inflammatory meds
Santos the driver arrived and off away we go back to TX
Well here I am 8 days after my surgery. U can tell from my pics how the days go. The scabs on both donor/recipient areas have gone! Yay. Not I'm still red in my recipient area. Hopefully that clears away soon. But so far so good. Hope u enjoy the pics
Btw. I posted this for all the people like me. That wanted a great hair transplant by a great doctor at a great price!!
