Surgery Information: Hairline Hair Transplantation

Hair Line Transplantation? Do you have Balding spot? Hey guys, my concern is not a balding spot!

Because I originally have wide forehead, I have never put my hair back.

I decided that I want to do hair transplantation. When I say I will be doing hairline surgery, 100% of dialogue goes on like this.

Me: “I will be getting hair line transplantation surgery.”

Friend: “Do you have balding spot? How bad is it? Let me see.”

Me: “I don’t have balding spot! It is just a hair line transplantation.”

Friend: “Why would you get that kind of surgery when you can just get a bang?”

 

For most people, this kind of is not much big of a deal.

 

But for me, if the wind blows, I am worried that my forehead might be exposed. If it’s hot out, I worried that my bangs get wet. If I go swimming, I don’t know what to do with my bangs. It seems like not much of a big deal. But people that have complex regarding wide forehead, it is a big issue.

 

Many don’t understand my deep concerns or worries.

 

Expectation, I am going to meet new hairline!

As usual, I came into the clinic with bangs covering my forehead. Today, my friend followed me to make sure I will be okay. After coming into the clinic and while preparing for the surgery, the PD interviewed me.

 

 

“How did you decide to get this surgery?” “How do you feel?”

I am not so used to being interviewed and kept saying I am sorry. Then the PD kept saying that is okay. Everybody is a little shy. Hopefully, if I can get a chance next time, I can do a better job of being interviewed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Expecting brand new hairline! It is now happening!

1 day after the surgery: Simple shampoo really impresses me!

I heard some people sleep really well right after the surgery. But I was so concerned about transplanting and transplanted area that, even though I had no pain, I kept waking up due to sleeping position. Even after waking up, I feel more tired than being well-rested-_-;;

Today, I wore hood jacket not only because it is cold, but also because I want hide the hair that I wasn’t able to wash. I went straight to the hospital, then got my hair sanitized and shampood. The nurse hair washing skill is as good as gangnam beauty salon hair specialists. I was cracking some joke asking her how to shampoo to feel this good. Can shampooing feel this good?

 

 

 

10 days after the surgery: Going back to the hospital for stitch out

 

 

Today I got back to the hospital for stitch out. The doctor had a look at my result, and said I am all healed well. So, I should be able to take out my stitches. The redness on the transplanted area is almost gone but the feeling on my scalp will take a while for it to come back. Also, by next week, the transplanted hair fair will fall off. My forehead hair will be gone, but the new hair will grow back. I cannot wait for that day^^.

3 Weeks after the surgery: Transplanted hair started falling off^^

Little by little transplanted hair’s scab started falling off. The disadvantage is that as the scab is falling off, my forehead looks a bit messy. But because this is the first step after the surgery, all this process is really interesting to me.

 

As I heard last time, when I wash my hair, the transplanted hair is falling off little by little. Now new hair is not growing just not yet, but I know this is just a sign of healing, just like scabs^^

 

 

 

 

3 months after the surgery: New soft hair is coming out~

3 months since the hair transplantation surgery, all the transplanted hair all fell off and by last week. Now along my forehead line, smooth new hairs are growing.^^

 

I was a little concerned up to 1 month after the surgery because I couldn’t feel my scalp fully. But when I talked to doctor about this, he said it will go away after a while. 2 weeks after going to the clinic, my sense on the scalp seem to have come back.

 

Many people after the hair transplantation are concerned about transplanted follicle falling off all together. Luckily for me, I already knew preventive methods so I had no fall out.

4 months after the surgery: Hey guys, are you sure my hair looks natural?

My bangs grew out much more than I expected. Now that my bangs are grown out, my forehead definitely looks smaller, and makes my whole face much smaller.

 

Last week, I even went to sauna with my friend. They completely messed up my hair with the excuse to see how natural my hair transplantation looks. Before the surgery, I was very easily irritated just by them lifting my forehead. But now, I can ask “Are you sure my forehead looks natural?” with confidence.

 

All my friends say I look natural. One of my friend is an experienced hair-dresser, and even she says she wouldn’t have noticed my hair transplantation.

 

 

 

Just my changing hairline, my image changed completely!

 

 

I went to the East coast for my best friend’s wedding. On the way back, my friend suggested stopping by the ocean, so we did.

 

Before the surgery, I didn’t like coming to the ocean, because my hair went crazy because of the wind. I would not get out of the car and watch my friends have fun. But this time, I was forced to get out of the car-_-;

 

 While I was taking a selfie by the side, I realized that now my forehead looks natural, so I do not have to worry about covering my forehead. Yoohoo.

After uploading my pictures on facebook, my friends kept pressing like button and commented that they are envious of me. As a woman, I think it is always good to here that I look pretty. My face looks small and I feel pretty so whenever I look at the picture, I feel good~!^^

Now that biggest complex of my life is gone, my life feels so different and new.

 

Thank you, Dr. Se whan Rhee for making small and pretty hair line. Hopefully, next time, I can visit the clinic with small presents^^
