Female with long hair FUE

Female with long hair FUE

I’ve always had a high hairline but over the years it seems to have got higher. I also suffer with PCOS which caused receding hairline.
I had my FUE on 22nd of December 2017.
It has been an emotional journey for me mainly because I’m girly girl and enjoy makeup / hair daily. Having my hair line shaved even further back than it already was on the op day was upsetting..... but it was needed.
The op was pretty painful, I’m 4 months post fue now and will continue to update you on my progress

My hairline is very similar to your natural hairline, I also have long hair and wondered what the donor site would look like and if it would be easy to conceal. How does the donor site look after 4 months? Your hairline looks like its growing in nicely.

Hi - there is a phot of the donor area if you swipe across before and now. Having this procedure definitely knocks our confidence and my hair felt so thin after but around 6 weeks later the donor hair had grown enough to cover the baldness and continues to grow.

Hi I have had fue for a large forehead so they put hair where there was never any. I am 2 months post op and experiencing so much itchy scalp it’s torture . Also I have Afro hair so it’s very hard to style as it’s at the front and a large amount at the back can I ask when u stated to see growth was it the 2nd or 3rd month? I am aware that causcain hair grows a lot quicker than Afro hair but I jut want to have an idea . Also I really get you on the knock of confidence but hopefully it’s a look bad to look wat better situation

Hey, the itching it normal but sooooo annoying!!! I started to shed month 2-3 and now month 4 I’m seeing growth - albeit just a bit.... I’ve also had hair where no hair has ever been so I’m excited to see how it looks in 12 months

When the hair grows it feels like you have bugs in your hair.

Thank you for posting , I am considering having it done too, would you say the new hair texture is different from your hair at the front because it comes from another part of the scalp? Also would you have done more grafts or was that enough for your hairline ? It’s great there are options out there , because it’s discouraging to see your hairline recede as a female . It looks really good so far

Hey The new hair initially was a different texture for sure but as it’s grown it has become like the rest of my hair. I felt like I had enough grafts at the time but in hindsight I could have prob had more. One thing I didn’t take into consideration was how the the recipient area will never quite have the same density at the natural hair. It does however look loads better thank you for your message

Thanks , I appreciate you taking the time to reply .
I agree that even though it isn’t quite the same or as dense it is definitely better than not having any :(
I can’t wait to have it done , saving a bit longer to do so
I am in Canada , did you have yours done in the U.S

Hi! Looks good so far. Yours looks like mine at the moment and I’m just over 5 months. The centre part is really worrying me because it hasn’t grown and there are no signs of new growth coming through there yet. I hope in next month or two it gets better!

Hey thanks for message I’ve just looked at ours and could notice the thinner middle.... I’m going to give it the 12 months and hopefully even if it’s thin it will still be loads better than how it looked originally and can be styled.

Are you able to hide it somehow? I want to do this so badly but would want to hide this in my every day routine.

I think for females it’s very different I couldn’t hide mine.

I think the best option for you was hairline lowering surgery not Hair transplantation at this stage whereas the result wont be that satisfactory for female expectation .Anyhow if you dont get enough density there are always possibility to re transplant after a year .

Hey thanks for the comment, I had traction alopecia and if I’m honest didn’t want to commit to a surgery procedure I found intrusive such a hair line lowering. I was losing hair.
