“RK’s” FUE Hair Transplant Journey
This Vancouver area patient in his mid 20’s came to the clinic to see Dr. Hasson about his receded hairline. He was excited about his procedure and gracious enough to come by the clinic at certain intervals to let us chronical his post-op journey. By the 5 month mark it was evident that his 2593 graft FUE procedure would accomplish his goals of both restoring his hairline and having the ability to wear the hair short on the sides and back without any signs of a hair restoration procedure. His last couple of trips to the clinic were particularly gratifying as we could compare the photos from his previous visits and clearly see the progress and transformation taking place. Thank you RK for you efforts and enthusiasm, your timeline paints a compelling picture of what a patient may expect on his way to the final result.Surgeon

Day of Surgery
Nervous, wondering about hairline placement, recovery, if people would know I had a procedure. Would old hair come back? After anesthesia, would it go away and return to normal?
1 Day After Surgery
More concerned with healing. Slight soreness and discomfort in recipient area. Concerns about anesthesia went away, felt normal. Wondering to what degree I’ll get swelling in the face.
2 Days After Surgery
Wondering when scabs in the recipient area will take shape, thinking that would be start of healing process. A little itching in recipient area at night.
3 Days After Surgery
Wondering how long redness will subside so I might be able to style hair to some degree and when the grafts will start to fall. How fast will donor area take to recover and how fast will skin in recipient area take to return to normal?
10 Days After Surgery
Happy it looks like redness has gone away. Can see a few grafts starting to fall. Back is healing nice and hair growing there, happy with how things are looking in donor area. Minimal scabbing now. Itchiness gone as scabs have left.
31 Days After Surgery
95% comfortable without a hat and had stopped wearing one 1-2 weeks prior. Wearing hair forward and to the side. Feel comfortable but still not 100% sure if people could tell. Maybe skipped on a few social events but could have felt good enough to go. Still slightly uncomfortable if wind blows to expose weak hairline, still wondering how new hair will look and what styling options will be.
64 Days After Surgery
Feeling like before the procedure. No one can tell I had a hair transplant. Very comfortable about appearance. Wondering if this is normal for this stage, Doug says yes. Have all the hairs fallen? When will new hairs start to grow and show?
87 Days After Surgery
Fine hairs starting to appear in the hairline. Looks like I’m slightly better than before the procedure.
114 Days After Surgery
New hair continues to come, hairline starting to take shape and thicken. When I come to the clinic for photos, Doug and I compare to the previous photos. When I see each step of the way, I can clearly see the improvement!
143 Days After Surgery
Pretty excited and happy to this point. I can wear my hair exposing the hairline, no more trying to hide it. I’m told there is more density to come!
Final Result
Very happy with the final result. As you can see the hairline is solid with no more comb over and styling restrictions! (These final result photos, are from approximately a year and a half after surgery)
