African American Woman FUE Transplant
African American Woman FUE Transplant
I received 1500 grafts. This was a very affordable experience. The person that performed my procedure said she has been doing this or some form of this for 20 years. Her sister assisted her in this procedure. I initially felt slight concern as I realized they had brought her in specifically for me and the she traveled all over to do this at different locations. She eased some of my concerns as she talked about her experience and was able to sympathize with my nerves.
I have my fingers crossed that it will work which makes all of this worth it. It is cheaper than most and seem to have less follow up and instructions than others from what I can tell through research. There were questions that I've had about others experience so I've been researching away. I had the procedure done on a Wed and the only call/followup I've gotten was on that Friday. I expected a follow up visit but there has been none. I was told that I could come there to sit under light as often as I needed but I don't understand if that is just an option or necessary for good results. I have a cap I bought a while ago that I can use that would provide the same thing so I opted out of driving there to sit under a lamp due to my trying to venture out as little as possible.
I have had tons of itching and tiny bumps in the donor area over the last month. I emailed Nubody in hopes that they would want to see it and schedule a follow up. I was given instruction to either have someone help me pop the bumps or to try to do it myself. I'm too scared and so the other option was a warm towel which they told me. When I research the issue, I've found the exact same instructions and I've seen things where doctors say to not pop the bumps. I've been doing that so hopefully this issue will go away without popping bumps
I'm a little over a month now and there is some growth in the donor area. Not a whole lot going on in the recipient area but I didnt expect anything this soon. I will try to keep you all updated off and on for the first year.
When I emailed, Nubody didn't seem worried so I am trying not to worry about the itching and bumps either. Besides, when I take pics, the bumps do not show on pics. I will upload picts from what my concerns were before and then pics from day one to now.

It will be 4 months post op on Sept 13th!
I do not really see any fine hairs coming in the areas that I want to fill in but with African American hair, it just may be harder to tell. I am hopeful. I did have a follow up due to the bumps right after my initial review. It was not what I expected as it was with a doctor who wasn't who I was scheduled to meet. I think Covid just makes things weird these days. But the person I saw said there were no concerns. Eventually they went away. No one regularly checks on me. If my hair grows, I guess that is all I need. This was a huge investment when I look at what others paid to go outside the investment. In the US, it is considered very reasonable. If I did this again, I'd choose the cheaper route as long as references were good. I just expected more follow up by staying in my city and country. Oh well, more updates to come.
Thank you for sharing your experience so far! Crossing my fingers recovery will get easier and you'll see some growth.
Looking forward to your next update!
