FUE Hair Transplant – Steven

Steven had an FUE Hair Transplant procedure with Mr Michael Mouzakis at our Birmingham clinic.

“I first decided that an FUE Hair Transplant was the right procedure for me compared to other hair transplant treatments because of the minimum downtime required after treatment it all seemed very straightforward and fitted into my life and routine easily”

Steven’s hair loss has been a gradual process since he was 18, now aged 33 he finally decided it was time to take action and decided to have a Partially Shaven FUE Hair Transplant to treat the crown and temples on both sides of his head.

“My confidence was extremely low for many years, I wouldn’t ever let anyone stand over me or I would never walk down the stairs in front of anyone as my crown was very visible.”

Steve has worked in the aesthetics industry for many years so he had good knowledge of the FUE Hair Transplant procedure but finding the right surgeon was the biggest challenge. After a lot of research, Steven found FUE Hair Transplant surgeon Mr Michael Mouzakis and decided that he was the right surgeon for him.

“Mr Mouzakis won me over with his knowledge and his nice manner. The patient’s safety and comfort is at the forefront of what he does, which I think is the most important thing to look for in a surgeon, as well as the fantastic results.”

In the lead-up to his hair transplant procedure Steven had to keep his head out of direct exposure from the sun, avoid spicy food, alcohol and coffee for a week.

Arriving at the clinic, Steven was feeling a little nervous but more excited. After a few pre-op checks, it wasn’t long before Mr Mouzakis got him prepped and ready to start his procedure.

 “I was asleep for most of the extraction (removal of the hair follicles from the back).  I felt no pain at all which I was quite surprised about. Mr Mouzakis is a very gentle surgeon and he really looked after me in theatre.”

Steven had his FUE Hair Transplant procedure on a Monday and was back to work on Wednesday. Now 6 months post-procedure, he is over the moon with his results so far. He can’t wait to see how it looks after 12 months.

“It was amazing how quickly I healed.  Everyone has been so supportive and they can’t believe how amazing my results are 6 months in.  My dad is even thinking of having a Hair Transplant now and he is 67!”

Steven loved seeing and hearing about other patients’ results during his research process and so decided to document his journey through regular video diary updates that he would then be able to share with anyone who was interested in hair transplant surgery.
