Female with long hair FUE

Female - 12 months post FUE

As a female I was always insecure with a higher hairline. This worsened when I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome. 

This caused me to have a receding hair line and with an already high hair I started to think about a hair transplant.  I had my transplant on 22.12.2017 in based in the UK so travelled 2 hours to have it carried out just outside London.  They flew 2 surgeons out from Turkey and a chaperone. My UK contact was also there on the day. It started at 9am and finished at 6pm.  I had 3000 grafts.  I didn’t do a lot of research beforehand because I didn’t want to talk myself out of it.  The procedure was painful, my UK contact didn’t explain to me beforehand what would happen! His website is very exaggerated about the ‘ease’ of the procedure. I laid on a very uncomfortable bed for hours, cold and he kept leaving the room.  I won’t dwell on the actual surgery too much but please make sure you do your research he take someone along with you. Wear comfortable clothing too. 

My best advice is to understand: 

You have to have a lot of patience before you see any real growth. 

Your results will NEVER as thick are your natural hair 

It’s a long road to recovery (as a female)

Hey it would be great if you could post some updated pictures!!
thanks for this post! I'm considering this surgery, but I am very concerned about the recovery and how long this will actually take. after all you've came through, do you think it was actually worth it?
Hi would you consider doing another hair transplant, I'm in similar situations to you had fue to lower hairline 2016 and really need a second but the thoughts of going through with it all again is just torture it consumes your life and i had alot of shock lost, do you find your hair much thinner at the donor area now?

11 months post op I am really happy with the results although it’s not perfect and I didn’t realise density wouldn’t be the same I’m really positive about future growth

Hi! So nice to read your story. I’m thinking about having this done for three years now, the only thing that holds me back is the density not being the same. Would you recommend it also When the density is not completely the same? Thank You so much
