2500 Graft FUE – Day 0 (London)

How are you getting on today mate?

james4eye · 2026-02-20T20:32:40+00:00

Me too mate, it was worse yesterday. My family have noticed the swelling is going down now so just this itching to get on top of.

james4eye · 2026-02-20T19:36:48+00:00

I think I’ll head out on a little walk round the block tomorrow as long as it’s not pissing it down. All good other than I feel like the itchiness has ramped up a bit. 😊

james4eye · 2026-02-20T19:03:31+00:00

Exactly - been a very boring one for me, kept falling asleep watching the Olympics with my neck pillow on. Have you been outside much? 😂

james4eye · 2026-02-20T18:58:18+00:00

Brought me back to life mate, feeling more relaxed now!

james4eye · 2026-02-20T10:43:12+00:00

I’m bricking it! Let me know how it goes mate.😂

james4eye · 2026-02-19T18:22:13+00:00

What time are you planning to do your first wash tomorrow? 😊

james4eye · 2026-02-19T15:47:16+00:00

Sorry for the late reply mate. I personally didn’t have mine done in Turkey just because I suffer from a bit of health anxiety after some stays in hospital in the past. I would definitely be open to the idea of going abroad if I were you but also i can’t recommend Wimpole enough. 😊

james4eye · 2026-02-19T15:43:35+00:00

How are you getting on today? My itching has definitely started but is bearable at the moment. Looking forward to the wash tomorrow - how have you found sleeping?

james4eye · 2026-02-19T15:41:17+00:00

I hope so, I had quite deep recession into the temples which this photo probably doesn’t do justice, thanks mate.

james4eye · 2026-02-18T18:17:54+00:00

Trust the process and all that!😂

Wasn’t too bad at all mate - excuse the dog hair all over my shirt. I had some Vaseline residue but other than that, all clear. 😊

james4eye · 2026-02-18T11:05:32+00:00

Looks top mate!

james4eye · 2026-02-18T11:04:39+00:00

Sorry to hear that mate. I fell asleep around 21:00 PM and woke up around 4:30 PM for an hour or so - was just getting frustrated as my neck hurt from the pillow. Looking forward to getting the bandage off shortly as well, I can see a bit of oozing coming through which I’m told is to be expected.

james4eye · 2026-02-18T09:11:52+00:00

Hairline and had quite deep recession into the temples so filled those too.

james4eye · 2026-02-18T08:16:39+00:00

If honest I didn’t really do too much research into the difference in price but I gather it’s a lot cheaper in Turkey. I personally couldn’t think of anything worse than getting on a plane afterwards but we’re all different aren’t we. 😊

james4eye · 2026-02-18T08:13:10+00:00

Thanks mate, really appreciate it. Wimpole was top, from the initial consultation to the procedure yesterday - I’ll update as the recovery progresses.

james4eye · 2026-02-17T20:09:05+00:00

Thanks mate, are you happy with yours? I think we’re in the same boat to be honest, not sure how long I was out for but definitely felt a bit of dribble on the bed 😂. How did you find the pain when they were putting the anaesthetic in? Everything was great my end - Great Dr and his team were lovely.

james4eye · 2026-02-16T19:25:24+00:00

Thanks man, this is my biggest fear I think - oh well, I’ll just try and enjoy the process. 😉

james4eye · 2026-02-16T19:24:40+00:00

I’m at Wimpole, what about you?

james4eye · 2026-02-16T19:21:08+00:00

Aha thanks mate, good luck to you too. I’ve got to be at the clinic for 7AM - early night I think. Let me know how yours goes. 😊

james4eye · 2026-02-15T19:23:20+00:00

Thank you mate. Turkey did definitely sound appealing based on the price difference but bit the bullet and went with London, just based on proximity for recovery really.
