Regular Member Faisal Alsubaie Posted September 15, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 15, 2023 Update day 11 post correction surgery. Left side looks more better and I believe because of the number of grafts were less than the right side. Plus not too many miss angles (wrong direction) of hairs were there that made it easy to doctor to extract. still hairs are growing in all directions but I would say its 70 percent less than before the extraction. But still the area needs a lot of improvement from extraction to laser resurfacing to look better. I will update again in day 20 and focus here to see the progress of skin healing. Scaps/crusts are now off, can not complain about my donor repair it looks much more better from the sides , you can clearly see the new implanted grafts with thicker hairs and darker colour. Hopefully after 3 months it will look even more better when the hairs stars to grow.same as this side 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Faisal Alsubaie Posted September 15, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 15, 2023 @WoundedWolf hi, i am planning to do laser resurfacing for the hairline area , however, i need to complete the extraction process from that area first and then probably I’ll start the laser resurfacing sessions. I might delay it after i finish my correction sessions first (after implementing and recreating the hairline with singles) but I haven’t discussed this with Dr. Bisanga yet. Also yes i am planning to implant more singles to camouflage the doubles and triples which you can see them now clearly sitting in the first row of my hairline. As per Dr. Bisanga’s recommendation I require at least three sessions to recreate a proper hairline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Faisal Alsubaie Posted September 16, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 16, 2023 Quick update day 12 : i went today here in Kuwait for my 1st PRP session and i asked to inject and focus the PRP injection on both recipient and donor areas to enhance the healing process and enhancing the growth of the new implanted hairs. I am planning to do 3 sessions of PRP with in the next two months. (3 weeks to 1 month between each session) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member baddecisions Posted September 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 21, 2023 I hope everything is healing properly, all the best and keep us updated, as I said in previous comments, you're helping a lot of people by sharing your procedure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Faisal Alsubaie Posted September 29, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 29, 2023 Update day 25: I stopped using the healing cream at day 21. But i still use it sometimes when i feel the skin is dry. I shaved the area where grafts were removed yesterday to allow you to see the skin healing progress. I would say my left side of the hairline looks more better than the right side. That is maybe due to the density of hairs on the right side as it still has many grafts needs to be removed. and here are my donor photos. my next update will be between day 50-60.

Regular Member Faisal Alsubaie Posted November 7, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2023 Update day 65 past correction surgery with BHR clinic Dr. Bisanga (first session) I’ve taken two set of photos one with wet hair and the others with dry hair for you all to evaluate. first wet hair photos dry hair photos: as you can see from my hairline especially the left side with less hairs on forehead that the scars are barely noticeable. However, my right side of the hairline is still needs a lot of improvement from hair removal and laser treatment to the skin. For the donor area as you can see from the wet hair pictures you can see through the hairs and still see the scars and gaps but when the hair is dry it is barely noticeable that I even had a hair transplanted in the first place from that area. There are still some areas in the donor with almost no hair that looks patchy (you can see it behind my ears). I will address these to Doctor Bisanga on my second removal/correction session. now since i am past the two months mark from the first session. I will coordinate with BHR clinic again to book my second session. Probably with in the next few months. I am taking it easy and no rush on this journey, and I trust Doctor Bisanga and his team on their work. i hope you’ll find this useful and helpful. drop me a message if you need extra info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Faisal Alsubaie Posted November 7, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2023 @WoundedWolf to be honest I didn’t ask but I’ve noticed no difference in the skin after I started shaving those hairs. Sorry for the late response but i hope you find it useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member eze Posted January 8 Regular Member Share Posted January 8 Can we see what your hairline looked like before? Also, did you have to take oral antibiotics for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Faisal Alsubaie Posted January 12 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 12 @eze you have all the before and after pics + all details here. Hope this helps you and others. If you have any further questions please drop me a direct message. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Faisal Alsubaie Posted January 12 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 12 @eze i am not on any hair-loss medications. Neither before or after hair transplant surgeries. Can you clarify what do you mean by oral antibiotics? I didn’t get that. if you mean antibiotics for the surgery then yes you have to take a course starting on the day of the surgery. But honestly i can not remember the exact medicine given to me. hope you find this useful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurijeff Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hello, I'm very sorry for what happened to you, the same thing happened to me. How long did it take from when you contacted the clinic until you had the repair surgery, and how much did it cost you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Steeeve Posted January 26 Valued Contributor Share Posted January 26 @Faisal Alsubaie, everything looks great so far! This is a very interesting case and will be hugely beneficial in helping others both avoid mistakes and choosing a good doctor to help with repairs. I was scrolling through your threads trying to see if you had already said but I didn’t come across it-maybe you did say it already? But I was wondering if you were planning to lower those corners back down at all with the repair or if you were just going to strengthen the hairline, as is(I saw that you were planning on putting singles back in there) Looking at your pre-op pics, your hairline was great but was lacking strength. I understand how clinics mess with your head, though. The unethical clinics always play the worst psychological games to get you in their chairs. Bisanga, as others have stated, was an excellent choice to move forward with for a repair. Again, I was just wondering if your plan was to strengthen your existing hairline by placing a bunch of singles in there to camouflage those bulkier grafts or if you were going to lower it at all? Or even a combination? Slightly lowering it to help hide those multis? Did the doctor mention that during your consultation? Apologies if you did, in fact, already go over this.

Freddy32 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 How many grafts did they do at the first place? And it really doesn't look bad at all when you grow it out on the back! That's a good way to go about it. Covers it all up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
