Summary: A patient with a poor result from another clinic first had the old ‘plug’ grafts removed, then a 2,500-graft FUE hairline repair three months later at Hattingen Hair Clinic in Switzerland (Dr. Sever and Laura Muresanu). The photos, taken by the patient, run up to 7 months after the repair.

What this case tells you, and what it doesn’t
- The repair was done in two stages: removing the badly placed grafts first, then re-building the hairline after healing. Staging like this is common when old grafts are too large or mis-angled to hide.
- 7 months is an early checkpoint. Transplanted hair keeps growing and thickening for 12 to 18 months, so this is not yet the final result.
- Patient photos are less polished but less curated. Lighting and angles vary between photos, so compare like with like (same angle, dry vs. wet hair).
Questions to ask if you’re considering this clinic
- How many existing grafts need to be removed, and how many new grafts will be placed?
- How much donor hair will be left for future work after the repair?
- Who performs each step: the removal, the extraction and the implantation?
