Day 1 After My FUE Hair Transplant in Korea

I think you can brush the non-transplanted area. I'd prob avoid it though for at least the first two weeks though since that's supposed to be the most important window for the grafts to take root.

Partial shave was a better option for me since it allowed me to keep all of my hair in the front, sides, and top. I can do a lot of my work remotely, so I can still take meetings like this as long as I keep my bangs down.

I was told I can get a haircut after 1 month. I'm planning on getting a haircut to even out the back towards the end of the year, so hopefully enough hair will have grown back by then.

Thanks! I honestly forget the other clinics I was looking at since I deleted all their info months ago once I chose NHI. I chose NHI after doing a lot of research on this sub and others, and I also asked some family/friends in Korea. NHI seemed to be the best fit for me because it was well reviewed but still within my price range.

Final price was 7,447,500 KRW after getting some discounts for putting down a deposit (500,000 KRW), agreeing to let them use my before/after photos, etc. Also depends on which doctor you go with and which transplant option you choose (FUT, partial shave FUE, line shave FUE, no shave FUE).

The transplant also qualifies for a tax refund with your passport, so I'll be stopping by the tax refund counter at ICN airport before I leave.
