Everything Was Quite Smooth

WORTH IT
If you have ever been to business meetings where the conversations eventually became about your thinning hair and receding hairline, then you have walked in my shoes. You might wonder why people would care so much about my hair over a presentation. Well, I was 26 at the time I started working. But by the time I turned 29, it looked like I had aged 10 years while on the job. To make matters worse, people noticed it, and they would often ask me to cut back on my hours or sleep more because they thought my lifestyle was the issue. In the background, I was doing everything I could. I even tried Minoxidil and so many other treatments, but nothing worked. That’s when I decided to go to Heva.

On analysis, the team told me that I was dealing with rapid Norwood scale 3 vertex hair loss, but that was something they could deal with through the FUE technique. Unlike some people who often wish to keep their hair transplants secret, I did not care much about privacy. Everyone already knew that I was going bald, so I did not feel the need to hide that I was doing something about it. I even took the trip to Istanbul with my brother-in-law, who was curious about the process.

My surgeon was very eager to let me in on what he was doing, and I liked that because I did not know much about hair. We worked on the hairline design together as he explained how he would go about the extraction and hair transplant. My procedure took about 12 hours in total. He extracted 4,000 grafts from my posterior scalp as it had the highest density and did the hair transplant, with a focus on my frontal third and temples, as this was where I had the most thinning and recession. Everything was quite smooth. In fact, the only thing I did not enjoy was the micro-injections for the local anesthesia, but I would not have survived
the procedure without it. In just 12 hours, the process was over, and I was able to rest in the hotel.

It has been 12+ months, and I can say that the boardroom meetings have now turned into just how full my hair looks. My crown is still filling in nicely, and my hairline looks completely natural. And this time, I do not mind the stares, which is why I would recommend Heva Clinic to anyone else with premature hair loss.
