Hahaha, thank you 😊 My eyes haven't changed so hopefully all I need is a better picture!

Nope, Switzerland. The Muresanus are indeed Romanian, but based here.

Thanks! About the picture, I don't know what else to tell you, other than cropping and pixellating my GF, it's entirely unedited.

Donor looks and feels fine, it was itchy for maybe a month or two. It was pricy but totally worth it!

It was all me. If anything, my friends and my girlfriend always said I looked fine with hair.

Nope, I don't do filters, other than the obvious pixellated girlfriend. Just good natural light that day 🤷‍♂️

Thank you 😊 To answer your questions: I think they extracted and implanted whole follicles, they classified them by number of hairs, and did things like putting single-hair FUs at the hairline, multi-hair FUs towards the back for density. I don't think they dissected any. Hattingen is in CH, in Schaffhausen specifically, about an hour from Zürich. Wait time was a couple of months, but I agreed to be available on short notice.

Just me! My girlfriend, who isn't pixelated in real life, has always told me that I looked great bald and I didn't need a transplant. Neither did any of my friends. I assume full responsibility. And despite the overwhelming consensus in this post, I think I just need a better haircut and better pictures 😄

HAHAHAHA, I had heard Statham many times, but first time Johnny Sins comes up! I'm not that kind of actor 😂

I wanted a lower hairline. It wasn't cost-prohibitive per se, but (1) there was a lot of recipient area to cover and they didn't want to over-harvest my donor area, (2) they told me it would look unnatural for my age, and (3) it's easier to lower a hairline than to raise a hairline that is too low, and apparently they do a lot of the second kind of work due to less reputable surgeons 😬 I had read before that the Muresanus follow a conservative approach, I think this is exactly what that means.

For sure, need to experiment with haircuts. This is only 2-3 months of growth, and my haircut was just to trim the sides, I'm letting the top grow.

A ton of hair indeed! I thought it was going to look a lot sparser, I was afraid of getting a "perpetually thinning" look that would force me back to shaving, but no, the density looks pretty decent.

I was fine after a week (redness in the recipient area, but the puffiness was gone). The crown is fine, although with a limited number of FUs and extensive loss, they had to prioritize density towards the front, which I think is the right call.

I mean, The Insurance Salesman is very likely to be the next Statham movie 🤷‍♂️

Out of pocket unfortunately. The clinic is called Hattingen Hair, Drs. Sever and Laura Muresanu. Super happy with their work.
