(3 Years Update) 25 Yr Old African Female with Genetically High Hairline ( FUT with Doctor Wong) Vancouver, BC

I've inherited a wide forehead and a very defined M hairline from my father which made me look far older and manlier than I truly am. I had several consultations with HT doctors regarding this matter but only felt comfortable at Dr Wong's office. On my first visit I asked him to draw a hairline for me since I lacked imagination and he did such a great job that I didn't want him to wipe it off. The lovely coordinator (Christina) scheduled my surgery appointment on the 9th of July at 6 a.m and made sure all my questions were answered. On the day of the operation I met up first with a nice technician who explained thoroughly what will happen and asked me several times if I needed anything to eat or drink. Dr. Wong then showed up and carefully took his time to draw the hairline for me. After that, he, along with the technicians, immediately started working on extracting my grafts. During this part of the procedure there was absolutely no pain what so ever just a slight pressure (The only pain I had that day was them trying to comb my coarse hair). Dr Wong even stopped halfway through because I really needed to go to the washroom and he was cool with that. After they finished stapling my head, I was given some orange juice and told to sit comfortably and watch netflex because the longer part of the procedure was yet to come. Soon after, Dr. Wong returned to make those tiny holes to prepare for the transplant but I wasn't even paying attention because I was absorbed in The Maze Runner. We took a lunch break halfway through and I had a delicious lunch they let me choose earlier that day. 3 very amusing technicians then started implanting the 3470 grafts they managed to extract and were very careful to cover each inch inside the drawn line with hair. Finally, I was given a bag containing a gentle shampoo, Tylanol 3, sleeping pills, an ointment, a pillow cover and a cool black cap. I said my goodbyes and the arranged cab came and took me home. I was very happy with the way my hairline looked even though I was very swollen at the time. I came the next day and the day after for a hair wash and was taught how to care for my new grafts and the donor area. It’s still very early to tell how this will turn out but so far I'm really happy I chose Dr. Wong and his lovely team. I'll try to post some pics later and if you have any questions please ask.

P.S. Cost is in Canadian Dollars

My lovely hairline before. Many people told me it's natural and I shouldn't change it...I, however, didn't see a point in keeping something that doesn't make ME happy. Keep in mind I have a pretty thick hair and no actual hair loss. Only a bit of thinning in the frontal view pic because all my life I've been parting my hair to cover the sides.

Sorry don't know the exact order. I will be posting again once I remove the staples which will be on the 14th day post surgery. My only problem so far was the swelling but it was expected especially because I wasn't following instructions and sleeping with my head elevated. I'm not bleeding or feeling much pain really. make sure to follow the pre-op instructions especially the not taking aspirin or multivitamins part before surgery. Wish me luck ^__^

P.S. on day 5 I developed small white pimples and was given a tiny needle and gauze to poke them myself at home (after he showed me how to) because I no longer felt the need to go wash my hair at the clinic. According to the nice technician this is normal and was actually supposed to appear around the second day. However, he did tell me to come back if I felt there were too many and I couldn't get rid of them myself.
