Senior Member Rossybop Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 Ok guys I took the plunge today and had an FUE transplant with Dr Saifi. Let's hope to God the result will be good so I can forget about hair loss for the rest of my youth and enjoy confidence and cool hair styles. I guess I'm happy enough with the hairline job and temple corners. I ended up getting temporal work done on the sides too although I'm unsure if this was totally neccesary. What do you guys think? I'm happy with how the day went and the lovely staff and friendly vibe off everyone there, but I don't know if I should have gone as hard on those temporal sides. What do people think? Another thing that I'm unsure of was that I got a PRP injection or a CFG injection, I'm told it boosts stem cells, but I'm not sure if I needed it and it cost an extra €200. Hopefully the result is totally baller though and I can move on and forget about this chapter for now. I'd also like to thank everyone for being informative and talkative on this forum. Its a great platform for HT activity. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 Wow, Rossybop, so happy for you, looks great, man!!! The temple points were absolutely necessary, don't doubt that, I admire Saifi for recreating them. Without them, a HT is quite obvious from the sides, check out this dude: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 Really like the hairline design, quite conservative but suits your face, will serve you great! Wow, I'm excited, keep us updated. 😍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 You've got a large forehead so make sure you put some ice on it before swelling occurs! I look like an ogre right now, hence the reason why I haven't posted my own with HDC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rossybop Posted December 10, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 Thank you so much for the nice comments You are a gentleman. You got a HT with HDC? Amazing! Tell me all about it! I hope it works out so well for you. Thanks for reminding me of the ice! I'll go put a cold beer on it now. I have a huge forehead 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member PizzaWolf Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 @Rossybop I think the temple points were a great idea and will add a huge aesthetic improvement. Some HT surgeons try to weasel out of doing them because they're notoriously tricky to get right. The fact that your doctor recommended them is an encouraging sign. I think this will end up looking really slick. Best wishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually brought the subject up myself, I said its cool to do work at the side of the head/corner of the hairline and I mentioned temporal points. He said you don't need to do them, you could just do the hairline on top and come back next year if you feel like doing temporals, or I could include them today. So on the spur of the moment I was just like ok lets them. I think I want temporal work. And he went ahead and did them, but I already had temporal hairs they were just very fair and not so strong looking so I'm not sure if I really needed them. I hope they turn out to be cool looking and pleasing as you say they will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, since you're not too keen coming back for a touch-up HT in a year, it was the best time to do it! 👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BLE123 Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 A strong/closed hairline with receded sides and no temple points just looks dumb, you were 100% right to get them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defined temple points look great and add a much better aesthetic, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He decided he could afford to be radical because after examining my hair he said there's no thinning in the crown and no thinning in the forelock/mid section. He said he doesn't think I'm going to lose those hairs, certainly not any time soon, and bearing that in mind he decided to use more grafts than was expected.

I really do. I'm really cautious now about bumping my head, staring down at the ground or turning my head to fast in case I upset anything 😂 I'd be devastated if no result yielded, but delighted if it does work out well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine it was pretty much a full day for you. Pretty much. I arrived at about 9am and left after 7pm. It was probably 10 hours or thereabouts. I probably spent an hour or more in the morning getting prepared with shaving, filling out forms, hairline design, photographs and so on. They probably started surgery at 10:30, took a lunch break for 30 minutes at 4pm, and then worked until 7 or thereabouts. His staff are really wonderful, all very nice pleasant ladies. I took a few toilet breaks. It was a long day though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
