BHT - FUE / 3100 Graft Repair

[northwest hairline]

In October, I engaged in an online consultation. After submitting a series of photos and a summary of my history and priorities, The doctor personally responded... requesting a couple additional photos and then his assessment. An initial two-day procedure of 3000 grafts, from my scalp and beard.

I had presumed my donor area was all but depleted. Old plug extractions and several strip surgeries had taken their toll, but amazingly, he was able to grab about 1500 grafts.... very useful in blending with beard hair and usage to form my new hairline.

The photos are from my 4th week post-op. Minimal shock loss, and extensive transplant shedding is where I am at presently. All is going very well. The redness in the recipient area is slowly fading. Now it's a matter of waiting for the new grafts to mature and grow.

More photos as things progress. With the advent and refinement of FUE and BHT, there is hope for many of us where none existed only a few short years ago.

Progress marches on. As you can see in the photos, I still have some residual redness, especially in the frontal area. It is returning to normal slowly, and the doctor confirms that this is not unusual for a fair-skinned patient. I'm keeping an eye on it, but everything is normal and on schedule.

Transplants are emerging as very fine strands of light hair. The sensation of 3000 relocated follicles emerging from the scalp is a strange, yet pleasing sensation and a consistent reminder that things are turning around after surgery, shedding, and now finally... regrowth.

It's very labor intense...about 15 hours of surgery @ $8 per unit. Mine worked out to $24k.

I don't anything about UK options, but there are several forums around that discuss clinics worldwide.
