My hair transplant journey: from pre- to 18 months after

  • If there's one thing I've learnt from having a hair transplant it's that there is no point keeping it a secret. They're gonna notice you're not bald anymore. You'll also find LOADS of people are curious about it and considering it for themselves.
    So with that in mind, here is my journey. Open and honest, warts and all, from beginning to end. From baldie to... not so baldie!
    If you're considering a hair transplant, do the research. Ask questions. Know what you're getting yourself into. Check out this video or others. Read articles. And most of all, if you go through with it, BE PATIENT. Results. Take. Time!

    Sincerely, I'm soooo happy that you are happy. Best hair transplant video I've seen. One of the very few feel-good videos on the topic. I've just had my procedure done in Barcelona 3 days ago. I am a norwood 2, so only got my receding hairline done and I hope I will be happy with the results. All the best!

    Brother Kev, I waited until I was 71 (three years ago) to have an FUT operation. Done here in California, it cost about $9,000 USD (almost 5,000 grafts), was painful for a full month afterwards, then itchy for months after that. Pre-operation, I looked a LOT like you -- a donor area in the back but pretty damn bald on top. Nine months later, I looked like a different person and now wonder why I didn't make the decision when I was in my 50s. Thanks for this vid and bravo for your bravery. You look great now !!!

I know you said you might rule out a second one, but I think a second go at the crown only may be beneficial, will probably only need 500 or so. You gained a new sub! Congrats on the new hair!

    Good video, nice humorous touch, especially the fringe part 😀. Takes away a little anxiety some may have thinking about the procedure. I had my procedure done 4 months ago. Still early stages but i can see improvement. Good luck with yours, you’ve got good results, clear improvement from how it was before. Have you had the PRP injections done to your transplanted area? Apparently that thickens the planted hair. It can be done in the U.K.

      Hey Cod. Thanks for the kind words. It’s true, the beginning of the procedure - ironically the injecting of anaesthetic - is pretty painful. And you might need a top up of them a few hours in. Knowing this in advance is helpful. I was prepared for it. If I’d done it earlier, I might still have been losing hair. 🤷🏼‍♂️ No regrets waiting.

    I think in addition to the transplant, for the best or even better results, you have to use (or try) Midoxidol and/or Finasteride (Propecia). And maybe even 1 or more other therapies too. Everything counts (with caution of course) in this battle. For him and others that suffer from such strong male pattern baldness. But I was thrilled when he was able to blow up and felt his top hair move once again. So exciting to see.

    Wow that's such a good, honest account there and it's really got me thinking. Around 10k for me is a massive no, and Turkey seemed a bit extreme somehow. Hmm having completely ruled it out here I am reassessing. Thanks for putting the time into that so we can watch your whole journey. And also your hair's looking great and I bet its thickening up still. In fact since you posted this vid has it? Cheers 👍🏼

      Hey Phil. Perfect feedback, just what I wanted to hear, thank you! Glad it was helpful. It may be a bit thicker I guess? When I want to make a special effort I use ‘Matt sea salt spray’ which thickens it too. That being said I MAY go for another round in the future. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I couldn’t tell you what they were called as it was written in Turkish! Once finished I switched to a salon quality ‘revitalising’ shampoo for thinning hair. I also got hair vitamins from Holland and Barrett. They sell hair vitamin gummies too which help nails also. But any decent quality supplement for hair growth/support would work. I took them for 18 months though many people I know who went through this stopped after 3 months.

    Kev I actually watched the whole video from start to finish. Normally I click on the next 1 after a few minutes. You seriously look younger 18 months on. I'm contemplating getting a hair transplant but the after care taking loads of ' pills and potions ' as u put it, is putting me off. I don't think I would need as many grafts as you had and would pay the price you paid for less grafts but the research I've done so far suggests not to go to the cheaper places, your experience seems fine though.
