I was tired of doing so much work to hide my bald head and windy days were not fun. Wanted to feel better about myself, so I went ahead with it. It was painful, have to admit, well, mostly the needles to freeze me, after that it wasn't so bad. But for about a week or so it was also a bit painful. The first few nights are hard. But after a year I am glad about doing it Updated on 22 Mar 2018: I find the longer the hair the better, the more I can style it. Updated on 23 Jul 2018: going great!!! like when I was young again even better in some ways. From total bald to hair.
Two years post op here. Honestly could not tell you who performed the FUT extraction and transplantation under Dr. Gupta's minimal surveillance the day of my surgery. I've been stuck with a very lopsided crown ever since that causes my scalp a great deal of tension and discomfort on a daily bases, of which has caused me to seek out a second surgery with a doctor who specializes in hair transplant revisions in the U.S. Take from that what you will. Though will say, reception is very nice and helpful.
