Thanks for posting your post op pics 👍🏽 This looks really good ! That’s a great number of grafts for the area. 

Thanks! Here’s to hoping !

Awesome design, I too just saw dr Bisanga. Any updates on how you’re progressing?

Awesome to see man, any updates?

I am currently 1 day after my procedure with dr Bisanga in Brussels. I will stay in Brussels for 7 days post procedure to give donor and recipient a little time before travel. 

Ian has been a tremendous help during this time and everyone at the clinic has been very helpful. I’ve gone back today to have to donor bandaging removed and the donor cleaned by staff. 

the procedure day was quite long and through a combination of jet lag and Valium I slept most of the morning. We began at 7:30 am and concluded around 5:30 pm. The first night was quite rough attempting to sleep in a 45 degree position with pain and drainage and swelling. Hoping for some better sleep sooner than later.

I have been applying saline every 2 hours to the recipient and cream to the donor twice a day at this stage. 
 

total grafts were 2389

Will try and get some donor pics tomorrow 

Thanks for the update bro, growth times ahead!  Great idea with the website too 

Any update?

Well surgery is just 2 days away, as I depart for Belgium tomorrow. I have buzzed my hair down to about 6mm in length in preparation and I have to say I don’t hate it. Would likely consider wearing a shorter style following the procedure. Im eager to get this started at this point. 
 

any previous Bisanga patients have any recommendations on daily eats/ routine post surgery? I’ll be staying for 6 days post op and leaving on the 7th day. I’ll be sure to start a new thread post op to detail everything. Cheers!

Updates? Would love to see how it’s going for you

Awesome case, congrats man. Would love to see the year update!

That’s what I’m hoping for!

how many grafts are planned?

2500 approx

Hello, been following the forum for about 2 years now and can’t begin to describe the amount of useful and helpful information that has been provided. So I figured I’d post my experience moving forward.
age: 28

loss: began around 21, temple recession and thinning to frontal 1/3

therapy: fin 1mg oral / minox topical daily

hair type: fine hair / blonde 

goals: restore a mature realistic hairline and maintain meds 

Scheduled for surgery in January with dr Bisanga on Brussels. Am USA based so some tips pointers outside of what has been said are always welcomed. Job allows me to wear a ball cap so after initial healing period I’m not really concerned. Main question would be at what stage would you consider it safe to wear a hat and at what point are the grafts completely secured. Definitely noticed a true difference in the year I’ve been taking meds at slowing and almost completely stopping the loss and thinning. Here is where I am after meds for a year.
