Hi to all forums users/readers, this is my first post and my pleasure also to share my own personal experience and hair transplant with you all.
It is still early days but the result already has been very dramatic and to the point my own family and friends hardly recognise me now. In short I am delighted and this was like for many an important step for me and I know that I have another half a year at least to the final stage but it has already paid dividends and worth sharing already.
I am a doctor myself and I have been training with Dr. Bisanga, BHR Clinic, for the past two years, so I have seen firsthand the transformations of patients and have undergone extensive training to perform hair transplantation surgery. So, I have the theory and the practical experience of performing them but also as a hair loss sufferer, I wanted to address this, firstly because I am human, yes, I am a patient as well as a doctor, and for me personally and professionally it was an important step to take.
I can really say that undergoing surgery, aside from the primary reason, to improve my appearance, it has also enabled me to connect with patients who will also undergo it, I know now what they feel and experience and I can say it has wholeheartedly given me another view and empathy with them and even though I knew I was in the best hands, I also had some nerves about surgery that is common to all patients.
Secondly, I believe in the product we offer, I have seen countless transformations but to be part of one as I am now it testament to the work and I am now a walking advertisement to the quality and naturalness of the work that Dr.Bisanga produces, people can listen to education and consultation summaries but now in me they can see also the product and change.
My family have a history of hair loss and so I was realistic in this and my age and current loss, donor limitations, were factors in the design I wanted to have, conservative yet also to frame my face naturally and to address as much as possible in one sitting. I wanted to practice what I preach and could see a conservative approach would be wise and really keep me in good stead for future loss.
As you can see from the photos, my donor was not the thickest in areas, so with this in mind we also decided to harvest some chest hair, and for me this was a good option as I have a lot of it and also the compatibility was very agreeable and really comforting to know also this is a future donor source and in Dr. Bisanga’s hands I knew it would also be a success.
My density was 65/75 so as guessed more on the lower side and was also a factor in the approach. I have been on 5mg Oral Minoxidil since the surgery.
I will also share the chest extraction photos and healing for the users to see.
Lastly, a BIG thank you to Dr.Bisanga and the team who worked on me and made this possible, I am grateful and also excited for the ongoing change and will update throughout the year and be happy to answer any questions!
