"It feels like it's more normal and more accepted nowadays"

Ari, 44 years old

Ari works full time with training and instructs and trains instructors. A few years ago, he noticed that he was getting thinning hair at the top of his head. He also didn’t think his beard was thick enough. So he decided to have both a beard transplant and a hair transplant.

After some thought, Ari decided to schedule a consultation. Once he had done so, he felt that the decision could have been made years earlier as it was not nearly as dangerous as he had previously thought.

– At first it felt a bit embarrassing, but now I feel that hair transplants are becoming more and more common. It feels like it’s more normal and more accepted nowadays. Then it will also be nice to have a beard transplant and get a full beard.

Hair transplant went much more smoothly than expected

Before her hair and beard transplant, Ari didn’t feel nervous at all. Everything felt good and he felt calm. There were some thoughts about the long time and not being allowed to eat solid food or talk and move your jaw. But afterwards there were no difficulties at all. It was easy to sleep and there was no mess or blood when he took the bandage off a few days later.

– The whole operation feels a bit too easy because I haven’t felt anything. And I haven’t been paid to say this,” Ari says, laughing. Washing my hair has been fine and the only thing that has really been a bit of a problem is that it has been itchy and my jaw is swollen. But apart from that and the fact that I had a bit of a headache, nothing bothered me.
