As for your case, u need to go fully bald?

And any reason why dr give you 3 days MC? Is it due to the procedure had side effects and still very painful few days after it?

Can we take a bath on the next day after the procedure?

To be honest, i very interested to try this  sweat.gif

Yes I went fully bald because it's a major surgery. If small number of grafts, then maybe no need fully bald

MC start on the day you have your surgery. 2nd day you need to come back for head wash. Technically you only need 2 days MC. No side effect la. Pain you experience only when they inject anesthetic into your scalp at the start of procedure. After that no more pain.

You can take bath on the same day of surgery after you get home, they'll wrap your head with surgeon cap. Just don't wet your head

Before COVID did a lot of research on FUE hair transplant and narrowed down my choices to Thailand and Turkey. All other places like Singapore and Malaysia are either too expensive or lack of experience. Made up my mind to undergo hair transplant in Turkey at first. Even decided on which clinic already but borders were shut so plan was shelved. Back then thinking of going there as medical tourist and do some sight seeing first in Istanbul and Cappadocia before the procedure

This year I research again the available medical facilities locally and to my surprise the prices now are very competitive, even matching the price offered in Turkey and Thailand. Many used to charge by per graft but some are throwing in promo by locking down a price and you'll get maximum number of grafts! So I consulted a few clinics in KL and decided to go with one which I had the most confidence - A surgeon that is skilled and experienced because this is the no. 1 factor in a successful surgery.

It's been 3 weeks post my surgery, I'm happy with my hair result so far and eager to share my experience here

Currently I’m going through hair shock loss process. After few weeks fingers crossed it’ll grow again. Very anxious


Btw it’s transplant, not implant. Implant is where you use synthetic hair. Transplant is where you use donor hair. Like heart implant they put mechanical pump whereas heart transplant they’ll use donor’s heart

Like I said in my first post, I don't have the right head shape

It doesn't burn a hole in my pocket because I've set aside the $$ already. I treat it as investment

Know a couple of people who did FUE with favourable results. Trust me nobody will be able to tell you have a bad transplant hairline since hair transplant isn’t commonly known here.

Good luck

I saw it’s quite common in the entertainment industries like celebrities or those that need to appear a lot on public / camera
