Experiencing female pattern hair loss was a tough challenge that impacted my confidence. Although I attempted to disguise the thinning area with a clever 'comb over,' I still noticed the shiny scalp when the light caught it. My hairdresser recommended Dr. Farjo, and nine months ago, I met him for a consultation. He patiently described how he would transfer hair from the thick growth at the back of my head to fill in the sparse area. Yesterday marked the procedure day. I arrived at the Manchester clinic at 7:30 a.m. for the pre-op routine, including sedation and medical checks. Throughout the nearly 12-hour process, 1,800 hair plugs (around 5,000 hairs) were transplanted from the back to the front of my head. The team ensured my comfort, providing breaks, snacks, and a light lunch while explaining post-op care, including how to wash my hair starting the next day. The downtime is about a week for intense activities like gym workouts, and thankfully, I can visit the hairdresser in just a week. Dr. Farjo and his team were wonderful, offering pillows to keep me comfortable while I stayed in various positions throughout the day.They advised sleeping slightly elevated and provided a cover to protect against any potential mess. I also received medication to take home. After a restful night's sleep, I'm eager to gently wash my hair today. This decision feels like an important investment in myself, and I’m excited to see my new look in the coming months.
