“JCs”‘ FUT Hair Transplant Journey
This patient in his mid 40’s was bothered slightly more by the crown but also was looking to restore the front. After consultation with Dr. Hasson, the game plan was to take as many grafts as possible and reconstruct the hairline and frontal zone in addition to the crown to maximize the cosmetic benefit. With good laxity and decent density, Dr. Hasson and team were able to harvest 6017 grafts and provide complete coverage of the thinning areas.This patient’s journey has just begun!
Follow his timeline as he continues his hair restoration recovery and ultimately, see his final stages of growth. Check back for updates!

Day of Surgery
3 Days Post-Op
Swelling moving around a lot the past few days.The saline is slowly moving down through my eyes and into my jaw and neck. Since I wanted my face blocked you can’t see the swelling in the eyes but I think you can get an idea of the expanded lower face.
6 Days Post-Op
It has been a very puffy past few days! Swelling has gone down a fair bit. Still in eyes with some discolouration and the remainder accumulating in my left jaw line/ neck area.Feel like a tired pelican. Finished the Antibiotics, off the pain meds with the exception of taking a Advil from time to time. Hair washing going good. Been applying supplied ointment immediately after. I’ve been keeping the transplanted area well lubricated with the supplied ointment and I’ve been letting the first layer of shedding skin fall off naturally when washing hair.
7 Days Post-Op
Feeling better today,about 75%. Swelling a little still in left side of face and jaw. Eyes less yellow and calming down. Hair filling in nicely.Only a few patches of dead skin flakes remain. All good.9 Days Post-Op
Today is day 9 after the surgery and all appears to be going well! Swelling is 98% gone, slight itching from donor area staples from time to time as well as a bit of tenderness and slight pain.To be expected.
14 Days Post-Op
In last 2 days I’ve noticed scalp is still tight in the back. Shedding of hairs. Redness subsiding. Minor itching lasting only 10-15 seconds at a time. While staples being removed, it felt like a slight pinching but bearable. Once staples came out, like a relief. More sensitive on sides than the back. Overall Feels good.
5 Months Post-Op
I’m 10 days short of 5 months post-op. These photos taken shortly after getting out of the shower. I cut my hair last week to even the length out….looks better. Things are nicely taking shape and the difference is quite evident. New hairline and no balding crown. Seems right on target, hairline and crown will get better and better over the next few months!
