Review of a hair transplant in the Hattingen Hair Clinic in Switzerland with doctors Sever and Laura Muresanu, 06/2021. FUE 4300 Grafts in 2 days.

[Gerard Decaudin]

First of all, a little bit of information about me. I’m 37 years old, I’ve been losing my hair for

about 10 years, I’ve been taking Finasteride and Minoxidil for 5/6 years. I’m between a

Norwood 5 and 5A.

Before deciding on this clinic, I obviously did a lot of research. I visited 2 clinics, one

specializing in FUT and the other in FUE. I was also advised by Andreas Kraemer, who advises

several clinics including Hattingen Hair.

So I contacted the latter and I immediately felt comfortable and well advised with Dr. Sever

Muresanu. He took the time to answer my many questions in a professional way. After

several exchanges and advice, either by Email, WhatsApp or Skype, he offered me a big FUT

session.

Wanting to keep the possibility of having very short hair, I felt more oriented towards a

transplant with the FUE method. Dr. Muresanu understood my choice and offered me to

take a closer look at my hair using a USB microscope and Skype.

It should be noted here that I have very curly hair, and the doctor wanted to make sure that

FUE surgery was possible by taking a closer look at my donor area and the quality of my hair.

After that analysis, he offered me a big FUE session of about 4000 -4500 Grafts spread over 2

days.

We made an appointment about 3 months later.

I met the doctors the day before surgery for an in person consultation and to take care of

the first formalities in order to save time the next morning. Immediately upon arriving at the

clinic I knew that I was not mistaken in my choice. The clinic is new (they moved recently),

clean and tidy. In addition, the 2 doctors are really endearing, friendly and above all

competent. To After 5 minutes, we talked and I felt confident. They are fluent in English,

German and Spanish, in addition to their native language, Romanian. We began to talk

quietly and naturally about my expectations, my resentment, my front line, my temples, my

history, etc. Then they shaved my head and took their time to draw my new hairline

conscientiously and accurately, asking me for my opinion at every moment. They insisted on

the natural side that the transplant should take. I was in good hands. At the end of the

consult, they told me to have a good nights sleep and advised ing on having a hearty

breakfast at the hotel before going to the clinic at 7:00 a. m. the next day.

The Hohberg Hotel, where I was sleeping, is located a 30 minute walk from the clinic by

taking a road that crosses woods and fields, with a view of the Swiss Alps, weather

permitting, arriving at the top of the village where the clinic is located. There is also the

possibility to take the bus or to book a taxi directly at the hotel.

The operation begins with the bites of local anaesthesia. That’s the most painful thing, but

it’s bearable and it doesn’t last long. Then it’s the hair removal from the donor area. It

should be noted here that Laura and her team, perform the entire operation manually

without an electric instrument and/or robot.

The day, quite long (until 17. 30/18. 00) takes place between extraction and implantation.

The positions change according to the process: on the back, on the stomach, on the side. The

operating room overlooks a small green space with trees where it is possible to spot all sorts

of birds. Perfect for relaxing and thinking about other things. There is a break of about 30

minutes for the meal (possibility of vegetarian and vegan meals) and of course many small

breaks to go to the toilet and stretch the limbs. The team is always on the lookout during the

operation: they always asked me if everything was okay, if I needed to move, take a break or

if I felt any pain. At the end of the first day, about 2000 Grafts were implanted.

I went back to the hotel with a bandage that I had to moisturize every 2 hours with a spray

containing a saline solution. Over the bandage, I wore a pirate bandage to cover up the

operation. No one noticed anything.

The night went astonishingly well, you have to sleep with the upper body slightly raised, and

head at 45° with the help of a pillow for the cervicals.

The second day runs almost like the first. Everyone is always nice and smiling, even me

telling myself that half is behind me. The last two hours of the day, Laura realizes what it

calls the “fine tuning” with direct implantation of about 200 remaining Grafts. The aim is to

finalize the graft in detail and make it as natural as possible. I can’t believe it.

 Second day, about 2300 Grafts.

The following night was a bit more disconnected, but I still managed to sleep about 6/7

hours in several times.

Finally, on the last day, the next morning at around 10. 00, there is the follow-up check and

the first shampoo. Sever first showed me how to wash my hair/implants in the first few days,

handed me a bag with different creams, shampoo, spray, compresses, and explained how to

use it. He also gave me several sheets of paper with all the information I needed to know

after the operation. Finally, he made it clear that I could call him at any time if I had any

questions and asked me to send him a message when I arrived home, showing the human

and non-industrial side of this clinic, where every patient matters. I mean, that’s how I felt

during those four days.

In conclusion, I am not at all disappointed with my choice of clinic and very satisfied with the

procedure. Sever and Laura are really competent, the experience they have accumulated in

this branch is often felt and reassuring. The fact that they only deal with 1 patient over 2

days is a major plus. Investing the necessary time conveys a nice sense of calmness. They say

that this allows them escape the pressure of time and they are able to concentrate more on

the details.

Obviously, we have to wait for the result in the coming months, here again I don’t worry

because during those 4 days, a patient who had had surgery a year ago, came to check on

the progress of his transplant. I was able to talk to him, he was also very happy with his

experience with Hattingen Hair and the result of his transplant was simply bluffing.

 

I will post photos of the progress of the transplant: 1 day later, 1 week later, 1 month, 3

months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year later.

Wow very impressive reminds me of @captaincalico results 👏🏼

[NARMAK]

Wow, Hattingen knocked this out of the park! 

OP, you have got really great hair to help with visual coverage and going to somewhere that could respect that and adequately make sure they took the care and attention when extracting and implanting. 

[Ryan Daniel]

Very nice! Incredible coverage. The perfect hair for density. 

In my opinion, the SHORTER you keep your hair.. the better it looks 😁

[harryforreal]

Top Result.  It's rare you will hear me say that.  

[Steeeve]

Wow. Just wow. 👏🏻 👏🏻 

[RabbitHare]

That's top notch..I have good density from my 4200 grafts, from Hasson and Wong, but the looks even better..Im going to look them up. I might need some touching up next year///Maybe they're less costly than Hasson and Wong
