These photos were taken on the second night, having spent another huge day with Dr Umar in his surgery.

Notice how my face is starting to swell up..

This time, he spent roughly fifteen hours, minus lunchtime, extracting the bulk of the hairs to be used and doing a major fill-in on my bald forehead.

Thanks to the medication he injects in you though, it feels as though you're only there for a quick visit each day!
