Yes, friends, I had a hair graft done
What did Jordi Wild say about his hair transplant?
On his podcast, Jordi Wild took off the cap he had been wearing on camera and told his audience plainly, as quoted by 20minutos: “Sí, amigos, me hice un injerto” (“Yes, friends, I had a graft done”). He explained that he had waited to reveal it because he wanted to talk about it himself, saying: “Quería explicarlo yo. Tampoco entiendo la gente que oculta estas cosas” (“I wanted to explain it myself. I don't understand people who hide these things either”).

WhatsAppHe also described the recovery in blunt terms, calling it “un auténtico coñazo” (“an absolute hassle”), mentioning measures such as sleeping with a neck collar during the aftercare period.
That is the whole of what we rely on here. Jordi Wild said he paid for the procedure himself at a Spanish clinic after turning down a sponsored collaboration for legal reasons, but he did not name the clinic, the surgeon or the exact technique used, so this article does not guess at them. Where the text below explains methods and timelines, it describes hair transplantation in general, not his treatment.
Why going public himself mattered to him
Jordi Wild's own reasoning is worth repeating: he said he never had a complex about his hair and that it had not bothered him much, but that with age the situation was not going to improve on its own, and that was the context for his decision. He was equally direct about why he chose to explain it in his own words rather than let people guess: he said he does not understand hiding something this common.

That matches how hair transplants are generally talked about today — less as a secret and more as a straightforward medical procedure that many people choose.
His honesty about the recovery is just as useful as his honesty about the decision. Calling the aftercare period “an absolute hassle” is a realistic reminder that a hair transplant, like any surgical procedure, comes with a recovery period that needs to be planned for, not glossed over.

How a hair transplant is done today
A hair transplant moves hair follicles from a donor area, usually the back of the head, to areas with thinning hair, under local anaesthesia. At City Medical Centre two methods are available, and a patient leaves the clinic the same day:
- FUE (promotion)
- $2,200 instead of $2,700
- DHI
- $2,500 instead of $2,900
- DHI + FUE
- $2,700 instead of $2,900
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so the area being worked on is numbed while the patient stays comfortable throughout. One day at the clinic, and the patient goes home the same day.
Who it suits, and how to prepare
A hair transplant is generally considered for hereditary (androgenetic) thinning, a receding hairline or thinning at the crown, once hair loss has been assessed by a specialist and a donor area with enough density is confirmed. As with any surgical procedure, a medical evaluation beforehand decides whether a patient is a suitable candidate, rather than age or appearance alone.
Recovery after a hair transplant
In the first 0–10 days, the area heals: the small crusts come off and the swelling goes down gradually. Around 2–4 weeks, the transplanted hairs shed — a normal stage where only the hair falls out while the follicles stay in place, which can look discouraging but is expected. Growth begins at 3–4 months, when new hairs gradually appear.
By 6–9 months the density becomes visible, with the main volume and contour taking shape. The final result, with full density and a natural hairline, is reached at 12–18 months.
