Hey there! I opted for FUT (follicular unit transplantation) a few years back for my receding hairline. The procedure itself wasn't too bad - I was a bit sore for a few days after, but nothing too unbearable. However, the results took a bit longer than I expected. It took around 6-8 months before I started seeing significant hair growth, and even then, it continued to improve over the next year.
In terms of cost, I paid around $5,000 for my FUT procedure in a reputable clinic in my area. Just make sure to do your research and find a surgeon who has a good track record with hair transplants. Overall, I'm happy with my decision to go for FUT, but just be prepared for a bit of a wait before you see the full results. Good luck with your decision!
