Regular Member Mdc2021 Posted February 11, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) I went in. Almost can't believe it. I Choose Dr. Bisanga solely because of this forum. This has been a great experience from the advisor, to the technicians, to the doctor himself. Thank you for the feedback I received on this post: I drove to the clinic from my home, which is a 14 hour drive. I went home the day after surgery, brought a family member as my driver. Me at my worst. Day before surgery: The Surgery was more unpleasant than I first anticipated, but not a problem to power through. 2535 grafts. Graft breakdown: 1 Follicular unit: 484 grafts 2 Follicular unit: 972 grafts 3 Follicular unit: 1011 grafts 4 Follicular unit: 67 grafts Total hairs: 5729 Average hair pr graft 2.25 Immediately post op. Day 1 post op Day 2 post op: I'd love any feedback and reassurance on the upcoming phase. I'll keep making updates up until day 14, month 1, 2, 3 etc. Edited February 11, 2022 by Mdc2021 Spelling 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 11, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 11, 2022 Firstly congratulations on choosing a brilliant surgeon. Follow your doctor's post op instructions to the letter if you can. Are you on finasteride or minoxidil? Your hair and skin color make for a perfect match and will aid in the illusion of having more hair. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to following your journey. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Mdc2021 Posted February 12, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 12, 2022 @JC71 Thanks! Ye, I got some great advice on that thread from you. Choosing a european surgeon was definitely the right choice for me. @folicallychallenged Me too! I'll keep updating regularly, Blondes are a bit more rare It seems 🙂 . My hair usually changes color depending on the season tho. I'm grey/red during winter and can get really blonde during summer. Not sure have the transplanted hair will react 😅 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Mdc2021 Posted February 13, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2022 Hey guys. This is day 4 pics. I woke up the other night and was about to scratch my hairline. I was kinda asleep but think I stopped once I noticed the graft. I do sleep with gloves, but they fell of at this point. Did I loose any graft ? I didn't see any blood coming up afterwards, but it maybe looks like there's a line where I did scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they state why they only took from the right side and back, as opposed to a more spread out symmetrical pattern from both sides..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
