Hello all! I will be going under the knife tomorrow with Dr. Pathomvanich to hopefully lower my hairline by at least 1.5cm... my feelings include excitement and fear... but im happy im finally doing something about my insecurity... ive always had a large forehead and im so happy to be doing something about it.

I was going to go with the forehead reduction/hairline lowering, but after seeing how it was done, i got scared of how intrusive it was... also scared what if i start to bald later in life... so now decided to go with FUT hair transplant for limited risk.

I chose Dr. Path because hes one of the best FUT in the world, and really affordable... however ive noticed his reviews and results have slimmed down in the past 5 years. Hope he still has the magic touch. I trust that i am in good hands, and ive never seen any bad results from him.

I do wish i had gone with FUE, only because i have a virgin scalp and im pretty young. But its too late now... what does concern me is the scar on the back of my head, if it does bother me too much, i could always get grafts placed into it right?

If anybody has any tips or advice for post op care, id really appreciate it. Thank you for reading this, i hope all goes well.

How exciting ! Good luck with it all! Im really intrigued about the procedure so keep us updated and what it all feels like, im actually booked in with dr path in febuary im very excited and slightly scared , just do everything the doctor tells you and keep your head upright and i hear wear the head band for minimal swelling . And as for your scar at the back i have heard dr path does a closing technique which leaves it almost undetectable when it heals. Very excited for you, i need to reduce my forehead aswell but i also am receding . So i look like a cinema screen LOL all the best!

I love it! I don't even care anymore about wanting to have gone with FUE, and yes i was assured my scar would be very invisible and i believe it, ive never seen any bad scar results from him.

I dont think you need to worry about your scar from donor area. If you research Dr Path you will see how he extracts and stitches. He closes it up in a way that the hair will already grow through the scar. I am 6 months post and there is no sign of any detectable scar.

The whole thing took about 7 hours and it was just phenomenal. Dr. Path was GREAT and his staff was GREAT! Im so happy i finally got this done, i owe them my upmost gratitude and appreciation.

Dr. Path did everything from the calculations to the cutting, his nurses did the insertion of grafts. I was a little iffy about them doing the grafta, but my mind was at ease, his nurses were more than capable of doing it. I doubt an establishment such as Dr. Path would jeopardize their reputation by having incompetent nurses.

I had 2,383 grafts placed.

Im not too sure how ill be able to sleep though... i took pain meds, and all that remains is a constant sting in the donor area. Other than that im so happy with the results, cant wait for results to come in.

Clinic was not hard to find at all, but idk how to take the train, so i just got a cab/uber. During the cutting, i was falling in and out of sleep, before i knew it, it was done and they had begun cutting it, when i woke, they showed me.

Great coverage for 2300 grafts should be nice and dense. Can't wait to see the progress.

Wow . Thats impressive. How are you feeling ? Hows the healing coming along ? Do you feel extreamly tight on your head ? Did you get some sleep?

I feel so happy! I feel i can finally live my life(after 8 months ofcourse...) the healing is easy. i don't feel any different on my head, i guess if i felt a little tightness is in my neck, i can feel that its kinda shifted. what i also feel is numbness from where the scar is, but thats expected for now. Its difficult to sleep the first night(i didn't sleep at all lol) but just take a pain killer, tilt your head back, and youll be able to sleep. I wake every 3-4 hours though, to shift and get comfortable again. I cant wait till i don't have to worry about damaging my donor area and recipient area

Hi, i saw Dr Pat 6 months ago... happy so far but still have some time to wait... can I ask the density he gave you? I got 1550 grafts myself but over a smaller area.

Nvm i remember reading your review, looks great! My graft area isnt red, will it become red?
December 29, 2016
how much lower were you able to go with the amount of grafts you got? i'm hoping to be able to get a 2cm drop with 2500 grafts but have not a clue if its wise to lower it that much.
