FUE Hair Transplant (official thread)

[Hopeofmypeople]

If you have dreads or braids(I'm sure females get it done as well.)
do they still require you to shave your whole head during the fue process?

Nah not your whole head just the donor area.

I'm not bald but I wish the follicles in the back grew as fast as the front and sides of my head.

@Cacdestroyer do you have to take fin?

Nope the doctors never recommended it, I even enquired if there was any risk of the recepient area hairs falling out in the future and they said no. The donor area hair isn’t affected by DHT so the hair is essentially for life. If you are early 20’s and have the treatment you might need to take fin as you clearly haven’t reached the final stages of baldness/receding. What I would recommend is to ask the surgeon a thousand questions during the consultation. Don’t be scared to ask the same questions until you clearly understand things. When you go for a consultation also ask if they are specialist in Afro texture hair. Must surgeons will take the job despite not knowing fukk all about how to apply Afro texture hair properly and placing our hairline.

What if those surgeons lie just to get you into the chair to do your hair?

Anyway, how much you think it’ll be just to lower your line like half an inch?

I just want a lower line and to not take those pills.

I received a contract after payment with all details of the treatment, they would be liable if they told you a flat out lie. Just ensure you specify you want a specialist that deals with Afro texture. You would need to get a quote from a surgeon, depending on how many grafts you require they would provide a cost.

Lmao I want that low hairline, I’m grateful tho.

How old are you Breh? And were you still losing hair or was it pretty stable nefoy you got surgery?

How old are you Breh? And were you still losing hair or was it pretty stable nefoy you got surgery?

31 and it was stable at that point, couldn’t possibly see it getting worse.

 

[Dolla$]

Damn. $11k tho I ain’t got it like that.

Pretty soon in the future they gonna let brehs finance their hairlines

 

[Dolla$]

31 and it was stable at that point, couldn’t possibly see it getting worse.

Aside from the 11k that you had to pay, how often do you have to go back for a routine follow up?

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Well people were asking, I am just trying to reassure the brehs who are on the fence.

Don't worry about these nikkas. Hairline surgery is about to be like braces. If you got money then you get it fixed.

Went back to work after a week, I was told to take a month of the gym which in truth has been the hardest part of all this.

Was it obvious you had it done after a week? I can't imagine being at work with scabs all over your head.

Also, you said you were using rogaine before... did it affect any of this?

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

I have my first follow up in 4 months and then I am also considering having the plasma treatment which will be an added bonus to it all.
