Race pilot Laurens Vanthoor

At the preoperative consultation, Dr. Feriduni concluded that Laurens was a good candidate for a hair transplantation. He already started noticing hair loss at the front about 4 years before. Given the fact that fis father and grandfather suffer from hair loss as well did not give him the best hope. He designed a natural hairline that was measured exactly to top Laurens' facial proportions. Dr. Feriduni always keeps in mind the limitations of the donor area, and with Laurens this was very dense and in good condition. The frontal third was to be restored in one single session. 

One year has past and a lot happened in 2020, one can say... We did not manage to see Laurens in the clinic to check his progress, but 15 months later we could work something out safely.

We provide a bandana in case you want to cover your head the first week after surgery. It is important that you take good care of the implanted hair, which are still very vulnerable in the beginnning. Therefore, it is not allowed to do sports in the first 7 days. Of course, a little walk will do no harm. On the contrary: some fresh air is good for the healing process and to distract your thoughts. As from the second week, you can start building up your game. Team and contact sports are advised not to do the first month, so you cannot harm your head and damage the grafts. For Laurens, he started wearing a cap again after one week and was able to put on his racing helmet after one month. Swimming in salt water is allowed to do after one week, and in chlorine water after two weeks. Also an important fact: sweat can do no harm. If it's warm outside, you should only protect your skin with SPF 50. The reason for being careful in sports is simply to bump the head and to overload your facial muscles when working out.
