Hair Transplant West Midlands

HAIR TRANSPLANT 1-YEAR UPDATE 01 November 2021 I believe that when it comes to looking at yourself in the mirror, you need to be honest. Brutally honest. As if you were giving yourself feedback. No one is listening. Just you. This is what I saw last year on November 1st…minutes before I was ushered into that operating room… FACT - I was unhappy with my hairline. FACT – I would let me hair grow longer in some areas and always had to warn my barber about it. (‘’I know, I know…’’ he’d say) FACT - I was tired of choosing to attribute losing hair to the fact that I was no longer 22. FACT – I was scared knowing that someone was about to dig around the top of my head for hours on end. (*had never had any surgery before*). 01 November 2022 Same mirror, same bathroom, same me…OK, you caught me. I moved house in the meantime, but you know what I mean. FACT – I feel content looking at my hair (from every angle). You know that feeling when you’ve had a few scoops of your favourite ice-cream ever. Yeah! That same feeling of fulfillment, I swear! FACT – I don’t have to burden myself with reminding my barber not to cut too much in the corners, stressing over whether he’d forget…There’s no ‘’he trimmed too much’’ anymore. FACT – My hair is 22 again! And me – oh well...Age is just a number, anyway. FACT – Fear? What fear!? And, no, this is not a paid ad. By no means. In fact, this is my way of paying back to Dr. Ahmad Moussa (the kindest doctor I’ve ever met), and Jake (the biggest invisible support you can ever imagine) for being true to what was promised. Until they come up with a more powerful word: T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U!!

Today, I underwent my hair transplant. I had typical male pattern baldness developing on the crown and a receding hairline, particularly on one side. I was nervous about committing, but the time felt right and I pulled the trigger at 36. When I arrived for my consultation in Walsall, I was greeted by the receptionist, who made me feel welcome and at ease. The consultant was very informative and he answered all my questions. He has also been an ongoing help as my point of contact. The surgery where I had the OP was in Dudley. At the surgery, I was welcomed by Dr Claudia and her team. The team described what would happen during the day and we hit it off. After a consultation of the hairline that was drawn on my head, which I agreed looked good, I got onto the operating table, which was an electronically lifted massage bed. All around the donor area, I first had anaesthetic injections, followed by some donor sample taken. Then anaesthetic in the other areas of baldness. Puncture marks were made and the follicles were extracted. I was given lunch and took time for a toilet break and then onto round two. The follicles were transplanted into the puncture marks and an additional anaesthetic was given were needed. I finished off with a round of plasma treatment, as I had heard that it can help the healing process and leave behind less of a scar. The plasma treatment was not included in the hair transplant rate that I paid, but overall, both were good value. The team were helpful, friendly, reassuring and professional. I felt in good hands with the team and I'm glad I took the initiative to finally gi ahead with this. Now the aftercare is in my hands, but I have had all the medications, including antibiotics, a big list of instructions and a briefing from Dr Claudia. My follow-up is in a few months, so Im looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. A big thank you to the whole team of professionals at UK Hair Transplants.
