Senior Member Richie888 Posted November 27, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hello my fellow follicle fighters Firstly thanks to all who provide valuable info on a daily basis. When I started out researching about 2 years ago I was in the naïve mindset of basing everything on price. I had no understanding of who performs what, donors being limited and so on. It was only the fact that my passport needing renewing that delayed me from going to Turkey! Fast forward to now and I am exactly 2 days post op. I have chosen Dr Arshad because he is creating a lot of proven and solid results. For me it was just a lot easier to get my transplant done in the UK due to family and work commitments, the fear of surgery abroad - as I've literally never been in hospital - and the fact that he is one of the few UK clinics charging a reasonable price. Anyway my main concern is the temples which we addressed and also some mid scalp. I am aware that the crown appears to be showing loss but at the minute I intend to start at the front and work back. On the day 2267 follicles was extracted with the breakdown being: Singles-440 Doubles-1121 3/4's-706 A 0.8 punch was used. I won't go over a full breakdown on the day as it's been covered before what what I will say it's ran like a well oiled machine and every one of the staff from the minute you walk in the door to when you leave are excellent. It was in no way a walk in the park and in the end I just wanted to get home but the day is over soon enough. I suffered quite bad swelling on the day which cleared up really well on day 2 with the meds. I'm also spraying saline regularly as directed and the grafts and looking clean. Feel free to ask any questions 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BA-FUE Posted November 29, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2020 Good write up. All looks well. For 3 days post. Keep up with the saline solution. It really helps with the itching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Richie888 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 2, 2020 Evening All I am now 7 days post surgery and completed my first wash earlier. It has healed and cleaned up really well. Still some signs of bruising but all swelling has subsided although I am still getting the odd headache from after sleeping on the donor area. I've included 2 x microscope pics just for anyone intrigued how it's looks close up one of healed donor and one of the front row of grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted December 2, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 2, 2020 Very nice! Loving the microscope pics 👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Richie888 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 2, 2020 Thank John I'm happy with progress so far. I bought the microscope for my kid to look at bugs but for £10 I think it's an essential HT tool! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BaldingtimetoLdar Posted January 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 17, 2021 Thanks for posting, it looks promising but still a bit soon to tell. I've always said never have a transplant in the UK but threads like these are starting to change my mind especially with the travel restrictions.
