Regular Member RecedingSebs Posted January 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Long time lurker here. Finally got my FUE done in the UK for £4300. Very happy with the work. Only 1450 grafts but I was told something like 4200 hairs - lots of three hair follicles were used to try and create density. My aim was to significantly reduce my recessions and give me a conservative but dense hair line that can be styled and look natural in to old age. Looking forward to using a comb and maybe some styling products again. What do people think of the work? Suspect many would have been more aggressive with the hairline but that wasn’t my aim. Will post more about the clinic I went to and provide more updates as I progress on this journey! Edited January 8, 2023 by RecedingSebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BackFromTheBrink Posted January 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2023 That's a really high hair to graft ratio, especially since they'd have used singles for the hairline. Hopefully that'll lead to good density as it grows. Your choice of a conservative hairline was a good one IMHO. It should give you density and also naturalness as you age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nl502c Posted January 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2023 Looks very clean and densely packed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member FixMyHair213 Posted January 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2023 hairline design looks good, very conservative but appropriate as you get into older age. just filling in recessed corners can have a huge impact and make forehead look significantly smaller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member NikosHair Posted January 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2023 Looks good👍 Exciting times ahead. You should see decent growth in time for the summer. Keep us posted on progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member RecedingSebs Posted February 2, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Day 27… I don’t appear to have shed much yet. Thoughts on progress? These are taken under a light and I hope I don’t appear quite as red in regular situations. Edited February 2, 2023 by RecedingSebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted February 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 2, 2023 2.9 hairs per graft is huge. This should come out super dense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RecedingSebs Posted February 2, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 2, 2023 I hope so. I was told that I had quite thin/fine donor hair but the fact the Doctor was able to use a lot of 3 hair follicles should mean I end up with decent looking density… Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member RecedingSebs Posted February 24, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 24, 2023 Day 49…. I’d say I have shed over 95% of the transplanted hairs, maybe I will hold on to the ones that haven’t shed or they will shed late. I can see hairs already growing from the transplanted follicles where the hair did shed so I am really hoping I will be lucky and get some good early results. I was prepared for the waiting but it is brutal!! So frustrating!! Any comments on progress very welcome. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted February 25, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 25, 2023 Yeh it seems almost evrythn shedded so now u will slowly start seeing new growth....generally people start getting growth after 3 months till 18months ....bt as you mentioned you already started seein baby hairs so you might be an early grower too...keep updating .. 1 Check Out My Hair Transplant Journey --> My Thread 3611 FUE Grafts With Dr Kongkiat Laorwong | Norwood 5 | 2nd May 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on day 75 myself and looking nowhere near as good as you so stay positive! I’m sure growth is right around the corner for ya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RecedingSebs Posted March 25, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 25, 2023 Cheers, hopefully we will both see some huge growth soon. From what I’ve read from around 12 week mark it might really start to get going! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RecedingSebs Posted April 7, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 7, 2023 Okay here is my 13 week/3 month/day 91 update… Right side so far is showing a lot more growth than the left side which hasn’t really started yet. But I gather it’s normally only around now that growth gets going properly so I’m hoping for big improvements over the next couple of months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RecedingSebs Posted May 5, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 5, 2023 Here is my 17 week/4 month update. Right side has come in pretty well and I’m already pretty happy with the appearance on the right but hope to get more hairs and for them to thicken up. Left side is a bit behind the right but I don’t think that is unusual and I’m thinking it will pick up soon. I am still getting red spots on both sides which I think is a good sign - hairs coming through! Overall, pretty happy with where I’m at for 4 months. I welcome any thoughts/comments.

It's very common for one side to lag (I'm currently experiencing the same). It's looking great so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
