IT seems that you can get pretty much anything nipped and tucked these days, with many women and men visiting beauty salons for cosmetic procedures.
One young woman, 25-year-old Tiegan Handsley, from the UK, revealed that she was sick of her large forehead and naturally high hairline, so she decided to get a hair transplant.

Tiegan splashed a whopping £5,300 on the procedure, but revealed that it has massively increased her confidence.
The young mum revealed that she had the procedure done when she was on maternity leave, so stayed in her home for ages until the hair had grown, but she explained that it was worth it.
The beauty fan took to TikTok to open up about her hair transplant journey.
She posted a clip with the caption ‘Had a lovely growth spurt the last few weeks’.
She said: “Nearly 20 weeks post hair transplant surgery”.
At the start of the clip, we see Tiegan wearing a cap, hiding her hair, but she then shows a variety of pictures at different times, showing off how her hair has quickly grown following the transplant.
Although in the first few weeks, the hair has started growing very short and quite slowly, by week 19, the hair had grown so much that it had started blending into her previous hairline.
Tiegan confirmed that she went to a hair transplant clinic in Nottingham and spent £5,300 on the FUT Hair Transplant.
She explained that the method she had involved 2,655 hair grafts, using a piece of skin that they removed from her head.
She added: “Mine was just over 5k but everyones different depending how much is needed/wanted.
“I just didn’t like my naturally high hairline.
“I actually originally was looking into forehead surgery and had a few consultations.
“I was told due to my natural hairline I probably wouldn’t get the best outcome or what I was looking for.
“Obviously this is a longer process but I am very pleased.
“I had a FUT method so a big patch isn’t shaved, instead it’s a cut across the back of the head, and then the hair grafts are taken from the skin they cut out.
“It is expensive, but it’s just the convenience I suppose as well as amazing aftercare and face to face follow ups.
“I wore the cap on odd occasions (once I was allowed) after the hair transplant to hide the redness.
“I had mine done whilst I’ve been off on maternity, so I stayed indoors until it healed, especially because I had it done in the summer”.

It has 239.7k likes, 713 comments and 3,178 shares.
One person said: “This is awesome! thanks for normalising this treatment for other women” to which Tiegan replied “It’s not often you see it, so I’m glad to be able to share”.
Another added: “I’m a hair transplant technician and I’m so happy for you!”
A third commented: “Looks so good!”
Whilst someone else asked: “Oh my god I wanna do it!!!! Is it worth it??” to which Tiegan confirmed “100% my confidence is so much better even with a bit of regrowth”.
When asked if the procedure hurt, Tiegan explained: “Nope! The area is numb, you can only feel the anaesthetic needles.
“Everyone’s pain threshold is different.
“The process is not the best on the eyes but it really is not painful”.
