Regular Member lopress65 Posted June 23, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2020 I'll be undergoing FUT tomorrow to address my crown and hopefully fill in my hairline a bit. I've done a pretty thorough read through of all the materials posted on various physicians' websites. I'm just wondering if there's anything that I should expect or that would be useful to know that isn't always obvious or explained beforehand. Thanks!

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Who is the clinic ? How many grafts are they going for ? I have had FUT twice. It is all down their skill and closure of it. Edited June 24, 2020 by JohnAC71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dazed Posted June 24, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted June 24, 2020 I found FUT to be easier than FUE. They will probably give you something to relax you.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted June 24, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted June 24, 2020 Expect a stiff neck! 😆 And you'll be careful turning your head from side to side... Don't worry, it'll go away. Good luck tomorrow!

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 24, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 24, 2020 Make sure you have a good breakfast, most people go in to their surgeries without eating, and don't realize you wont eat until late in the afternoon. Definitely best to eat something before you have surgery, even if it is early in the morning. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member Cahustler Posted June 24, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted June 24, 2020 I couldn’t sleep the night before. Partly it’s because it’s not my own bed...also the anticipation.. one thing I regret not doing was shave my head....but I simply didn’t know what to expect. You figured you pay about $20k at least give me a good shave other than just shave the middle.. I think clinics should employ a full time barber. I mean barber not a stylist because all they do is shave . Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member lopress65 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 25, 2020 Thanks for the replies, I read them all before my procedure. I got just over 3100 grafts. I don't know what was worse, the needles or the sound of the donor strip being removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Cahustler Posted June 25, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Definitely the needles . I had over 80 needles , at least it felt that way. And I’m the guy that’s afraid of getting a flu shot, so it tells you how much I wanted hair Edited June 25, 2020 by Cahustler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
