I was always concerned about my wide forehead since my childhood years. I was introduced to Forhair clinic by a friend of mine who already had her surgery few months prior. I did some research and decided to have my surgery at the clinic after reading that the clinic is recommended by other surgeons. My whole experience at Forhair was amazing starting with the consultations. The consulting manager explained even the smallest details and Dr. Ryu was very friendly and professional during consultation and my surgery. I had CIT(Box-Cut) surgery to lower my hairline. I was able to disguise the shaved area with my remaining hair so I was able to return to my normal life as usual after 2~3 days. The surgery started at 9AM and finished at 6PM. I was entertained throughout the surgery process with their TV system which allowed me to watch movies and past TV shows on demand. The Korean TV shows which did not have subtitles was a blow but nevertheless the experience wasn’t as daunting as I thought it would be.

I had 2 surgeries over a year and a half period. Both went well with little discomfort, stress, or another issue. Honestly, one of the biggest issues for me was not being able to wash my hair for several days! Also, I had to sleep in one position for a few nights, but this recovery time passes quickly. I went from semi-serious balding in the front and crown to a pretty nice, full head of hair. The doctors and staff were great. Thanks for outstanding results! Overall, Forhair provided excellent service. They explained the process, answered my questions, and were there with me every step of the way. I would highly recommend them if you're considering this procedure. It's a difficult decision to make, but Forhair made it much easier. So far I am happy with my progress and I can’t wait till all my transplanted hair grows and I have my complete hairline.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

Follicular Unit Extraction involves the extraction of follicular units of hair from the donor area of the scalp using a specialized small, round punch (a pen-like instrument used to pull out follicular units- 1mm diameter).

The small follicular units are implanted to the recipient area, typically at the top and front of the head. The FUE method is less invasive than the FUT strip method, however it is more time consuming and meticulous; therefore more expensive.

A Good Candidate for FUE Method (Follicular Unit Extraction)

The first step to determining the right candidate for hair transplant surgery is by determining the available grafts available to donate. Suitable candidates must have enough hair to supply the bald areas without causing a balding effect to the donor area.

The hair in the donor area must be thick so that it can provide a reasonably good appearance after the hair transplant.

The age and level of baldness are also very important when considering a hair transplant. The patient is recommended to be at an age where pattern baldness is apparent or eventually will be apparent.

Your cosmetic surgeon will be able to discourse this further once he or she has viewed pictures or viewed the patient in person. Because hair grows at a particular angle and in a specific direction, the hair growth patterns must be duplicated as close as possible.

When the hair transplant is completed, the restored hair will look natural and no different from the original pattern of hair growth. Of course, it is also very important that the patient understand all aspects of this cosmetic surgery and is motivated throughout the hair transplant process.
