RTC

Update here -->

Hi all I'm going to keep this short because I can't be bothered typing an essay lol Initial thread here: I had 200 grafts punched out from across my hairline, and 100 grafts extracted from the donor area. All grafts were placed behind my hairline. The aim of the operation was to get rid of the chunky grafts in the hairline and create a more natural looking hairline compared to the blocky, ugly, straight hairline given to me by the Butcher of Istanbul, Asli Tarcan. I wanted to create more recession in the corners, which sounds counter-intuitive to most people, but the result is a far more attractive and natural hairline. It no longer looks artificial and weird . The operation was very short and Hattingen is a class outfit - very professional, fantastic staff, and both Dr Sever and Laura are brilliant. Both very friendly and personable, and Dr Sever is based. The clinic itself is lovely, set in a very small village in Switzerland, which was beautiful. I was in and out in about 5-6 hours, and went back the next day for a hair wash. Sever did my consultation, Laura did the extractions and the everything surgery related. She used a manual punch. I kept my hair long and had a no-shave procedure, so I was back to normal within ONE week. Phenomenal stuff. The punchouts left NO visible scarring and within a week literally nobody was able to see any remnants of the operation. Zero. For the first week it was pretty ugly though. The photos really do not do justice to how much better my hairline looks now though, so please don't take too much from the low quality photos I took for the 'afters'. My hairline looks far more natural, and I barely have any insecurity over it anymore. The density and weird shape are largely fixed. However, there are still some issues with my hair: - Still probably have around 50-60 grafts that could be removed (I may address this in 2025 if we are all still alive and the West hasn't fallen) - The direction of the grafts in my hairline are still awful.. this can not be rectified, unless I remove and then re-implant, which I am not prepared to do. The hairs in my hairline stick straight up and it really bugs me. - I still wish for a little more density behind my hairline, although this has largely improved due to Mwamba and Hattingen's work. The patches are not as glaring as before. - I wish I could still refine my hairline a little more, but my donor is in dire straits. - The donor on my right side still sucks. The only remedy here would be beard hairs. Overall, I am VERY happy with what was a very small, but very impactful procedure. Big impact on my confidence. I feel like people don't like at my hairline anymore. I may do one more. but we will see. This stuff is expensive. Feel free to ask me any questions BEFORE PUNCHOUTS COMPARISON

Love it. Can you show a photo of the skin now?

Good luck with this, this is the right way to go. You will have to be patient though as it will be a long and bumpy ride. But your hairline will look 1000x better.

I'm confused, where in the timeline is the last photo from?

I feel your pain bro.. hope you can maybe get something in the way of compensation but I doubt it. By far the most difficult part of any repair is the mental anguish in waiting for consultations and appointments etc. But schedule them in and start moving forward.. you'll feel much better. I definitely agree that extractions and then later refinement is the way to go. But it'll be a long process.

What the doctor told you is false I have had many grafts removed and have ZERO scarring. None at all.

FINALLY, RTC has come back to H..R..N But yeah, BeHappy is a great choice

What was the issue with Maitland Clinic out of interest? Edit: seems you answered above already. They are very non-salesy - perhaps that is what you may have deemed as dismissive as someone else suggested

There is a user on Reddit who has used electrolysis to great effect. His name is qui-bono. I have used electrolysis on my face (cheeks) and it's brilliant. Not in my hairline though as I need all the grafts I can get. @HappyMan2021 may have got electrolysis I believe?

Yep.

I have an update, will post soon

Wishing you good luck brother

No.

With all due respect.. who actually cares?

Yes it does. Never ever compromise when it comes to a surgical procedure

what tests?

That is awful

Keser.

Dr Inieko at Chiswick Hair Clinic is good. I know someone in real life who got a procedure there and it was good. Dr Ball is good too.

Most clinics run like hell from punching out already implanted grafts. Only a few will agree to do it. I would definitely go with that option.

This is superb

Give it a couple of months to recover then judge. But yes, Smile is a hair mill, which is not in your favour

Best to stop watching mainstream media, it's not doing you much good my friend.

Stop watching CNN.
