Thanks Bill, You have confirmed for me that I am making the right decision in considering these two surgeons. I will do as you say and consult with both further before making my final decision. The final result is of course the most important aspect to the process but as I mentioned previously I am nervous about the ugly duckling phase that almost everyone seems to pass through. What if the redness doesn't go down for months? What if the new hair all starts growing at different rates? What if I suffer shock loss? I guess I am just interested to hear how people manage this and what are the reactions of others (e.g. work colleagues) during this phase?

Hi all, First post here. I’ve been doing a lot of research and am close to booking my first hair procedure with either Dr Farjo in UK or Dr Bisanga in Brussels. All of my research suggests that I would be in very safe hands with either surgeon and this is by far the most important aspect for me in choosing a surgeon. Both are coming in at essentially the same price for 3,000 FUE grafts so I am really asking for any information that could tip me in either direction. One thing I have been considering is the post op ease of having the surgery here in the UK. I am nervous of travelling back from Brussels with a swollen/painful head. How many days do people tend to wait before travelling back? Also is it not preferable to have easy access to the surgeon for check ups in the following 12 months? Finally, I am very nervous of the months following a procedure and how easy it is to live a normal life. I have an office job (so no hats!) and am attending a wedding 5 weeks after the potential operation date. I am taking one month away from work post op but with many online photos I’ve often noticed significant redness after 6 weeks, which surely leads to many unwanted questions? What is the best way to handle this? Lots of questions there.... hopefully I can get some advice on at least some of the issues. Cheers!
