FredtheBelgian's FUE - 2000 grafts with Dr. De Reys - 24 Years Old NW5 from DPA

Thank you Chuck and Artista :).

The short answer: I just didn't want to be "the bald guy".

And to be honest, I had some "disposable" income and I wondered, what is the best thing I could buy? What would truly make me happier? Some more hair.

I hope it will turn out great of course, but in the end, it's just a bonus. I would be OK if I had to shave my head for the rest of my life.

Small update: I just washed my hair for the first time (the doc instructed to do it one week after the transplant). At the recipient, some scabs fell, some didn't and almost all the scabs are gone in the donor, you could not tell anything was done, I'm quite impressed.

I'm going to try again the next few days for the remaining crusts, and I'm going to take pictures when most of it is gone.

8 days post-op

Here's an update of my evolution 8 days after my FUE. I managed to remove all the crust and I must say that for now I'm thrilled. Too bad I will have to go through a shed in a few days and wait months to see the results. My donor (that I shaved again today) shows one or two red spots, other than that, it looks untouched to me. Do you think this is looking good, I'm cautious about being overly optimistic and then not having the regrowth that I expect in a few months.

And a bonus, a picture of myself just before the surgery:

dude its gonna look good! already looks solid

just need those suckers to grow in and give some decent density and i think you will have a satisfying result

maybe constantly buzz the sides to zero'' or 1'' and keep the top slightly longer youll just be a guy with a buzzcut

Looking very good fred. We had our surgery the same day I think? May 15th? Not sure with the time difference being as you are in Europe and I am on the East Coast. Your donor area definitely bounced back faster than mine. You are healing quickly there. We both lost our scabs around day 7 and 8.

On a serious note, I am getting closer to making the decision to get this done.

I didn't realize you were contemplating getting an FUE.

It's looking pretty good. So your hair will fall out first? How does that work exactly?

All grafted hairs go into telogen phase due to the shock of being transplanted roughly after 3 weeks.

Looks good fred i have a feeling its going to come out good when all the hairs have grown and thickened

Fred that looks fantastic congrats once again! Please keep us posted with the progress.

Looks fantastic
