Mathias – Glad to finally find the right FUE clinic!
I would like to share my experiences in the field of hair transplantation surgery. I have much to tell, but I will try and keep it short. I have not really been suffering from my hair loss like many others. Probably because my hair only thinned a bit by the temples at the front and I could cover them well with my different hairstyles. But I always wanted to have longer hair and the bare sides of my head did not permit this. It all started when I was living in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I saw an advertisement for FUT/STRIP operations on the television offering extra grafts if you did the operation within a week. I called immediately and was given an appointment for both consultation and operation on the same day. I then transplanted about 600 grafts and thought it would be enough, but I soon realized that I needed a second operation. I looked up a hair restoration clinic in Stockholm to make it a bit denser. They put in 250 grafts on both sides, which according to them would be sufficient. In my opinion, it was still way too thin. Subsequently I had another 100, then another 50, then 20… The clinic said I could not get much denser hair. They also argued if trying to put the hairs in any denser, then they would not survive. Since I have limited knowledge in this field and I am not a doctor, I had no reasons to doubt their opinions accuracy.
Everything changed
The following period of time was difficult for me because the hair transplants were really thin. It had taken a long time in between the operations and all the waiting drove me crazy. At this point, my hair even looked better before I had anything done at all. It’s better to have bald patches than really thin hair – Believe me! Everything changed when I went past a shop one day and saw the placard for an evening tabloid. A man who got his hair back at the Ilter Clinic, explained the procedure and shared his adventure towards his enhanced look. He had the same deep patches as me, but he had over 900 grafts transplanted directly and it looked much better than my result. At this point, I have had 6 surgeries and this guy from Ilter Clinic looked better after only one!
I contacted the Ilter Clinic and was helped straight away. MD Ilter put in 450 grafts in the patches plus 150 in the scar. He had a better technique than the other clinic where a machine was used. The machine was used both for cutting and removing the hair follicles from the donor area. On request of Ilter Clinic, I will not give up the name of the other clinic. Although, I have to say I feel sorry for the ones who might go to that other clinic. One should know it’s never possible to get hair exactly as dense as before. I still have to say, my results got really dense but you have to have a little patience. It can take up to 12 months before the full result is visible. I’m so glad I finally found the right clinic! 
I previously did quite a bit of research and I honestly don’t think any other clinic in Sweden right now can compare to the Ilter Clinic – on either quality or commitment!
