FUE Hair Transplant

32 M. Went to Hairfix Mexico in Tijuana. Just out of operation. I want to preface with saying that I have had a very good experience overall! I got 2,968 grafts, cost was $3,990 all inclusive (hotel stay with breakfast and transportation). I understand my surgeon’s rationale for not immediately grabbing more grafts and doing more mid-scalp, where you see it kind of end. The hairline is also similar to pictures of me at about 16-17 as recession started, I’ve always had a widow’s peak. There is still more thickness and growth happening since I’ve been on finasteride (1mg) and Minoxidil oral (5mg), so she wanted to wait and see that progress continue to before deciding to go further to the crown and instead focus on front density and hairline. The “new hairline” seems a little high, but as we designed it she showed me where the muscles were and wasn’t comfortable adding any in the area to make a lower/straighter hairline so it would look unnatural when my forehead/eyebrows flex. The whole procedure was performed by the doctor, Dr. Aydeth Olvera - extraction and implantation. She was very thorough and clear about after care instructions. I have my follow up appointment tomorrow morning for the first wash. Everyone else at the clinic is very friendly and helpful. I met the medical coordinator Dr. Moreno as well. I will say that things I have greatly appreciated about their operations is they wanted to make sure I was on medication and stable before a transplant, and when my blood pressure was a little high from the anxiety and travel, they made sure to discuss with me if it didn’t come down like postponing the operation. I’d rather have a cautious doctor than one just wanting to crank patients out. But luckily I calmed down enough and we could proceed. So in the pictures we have where I started when I got on medication in March 2021, a few months ago, to today. Can’t wait for the future updates!
