Jake farrugia Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Hi everyone , this is my first time on this forum- welcome. I am 26 years old and ive been conscious of my temple recession for the last year/year and a half. I naturally have a high hairline with high muscles however recently it was making me more conscious . After several searches i found a local doctor who performs fue procedures and had nice before and after patient photos. - i was very new to the whole thing. During the consultation we discussed the number of grafts and hairline shape and the doctor advised to go conservative to give a dense natural result. We estimated around 1800 grafts. We discussed medication and i opted for natural finasteride alternatives. 1st april 8:30 i was at the clinic and finished at around 2pm. The doctor was with me the whole time and performed everything with his nurse assistant. The procedure was easy and went well, these are pictures of the procedure. From what ive seen i think the density looks good. I will keep you updated with progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Britanium Posted April 7, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted April 7, 2023 Any pics that are not in the clinic setting? When was the surgery date? We have a couple of results from this Dr all of a sudden, which is going to appear suspicious to members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member duckling Posted April 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 7, 2023 This long hair and pulled back look does suit you. So the hairline which has been given to you is giving you a nice manly look with the beard. Good that you went with this approach which makes you look 25-26 instead of looking like a teenager and gives you so much grafts to play with for any future surgeries. Happy growing.

Let me know what other pics you would like to see id be glad to share 3 most recent cases all show similar clinic based pics. I’m aware this Dr was trained by Dr Bisanga, and just ensuring that it’s patients posting, not the clinic. Thanks for confirming, all the cases I have seen so far from him do look good.
