“The best part? Nobody noticed.”
That’s what he told me at his 12-month follow-up.
He is in his late 20s. Early hair loss with the temples receding, midscalp thinning. The kind of pattern where you’re still young enough that it hits differently.
We performed an FUE procedure. 2,535 grafts.
Rebuilt his hairline and reinforced the midscalp area.
What happened after:
Days 1-7: Minimal discomfort and mild swelling around the hairline. Some redness and small scabs around the recipient area. He was back to work within a week and wore a baseball cap for a few days, but nothing dramatic.
Weeks 2-4: The transplanted hairs shed. This is completely normal and expected. It’s part of the natural growth cycle.
Month 3: Early signs of new growth. Fine hairs starting to emerge. Subtle, but happening.
Month 6-8: This is where it got interesting. The hair was coming in gradually enough that even people who saw him every day didn’t clock it. No sudden change. Just a natural progression.
Month 12: Full density. Natural hairline. He mentioned his friends just thought he “looked better.” That gradual transformation was actually the goal.
That’s what proper hair restoration looks like. Not an overnight change that raises questions. Just a steady return to how you used to look.

No pressure. Just clarity.
