Luka Vujović and his hair transplant: what he said himself

The outlet wrote that the procedure took nine hours, and quoted Vujović's own explanation for the decision: “Odlučio sam se na ovaj potez kako bih mogao da šetam gradom bez kačketa.” (“I decided to take this step so I could walk around the city without a cap.”) He added that the cap had become his trademark and that he would keep wearing it, but wanted the choice to go without it.

Two days later Informer picked up the story under the headline “Luka Vujović presadio kosu!” (“Luka Vujović had a hair transplant!”), confirming the same procedure and noting that his partner Anita Stanojlović stayed close to him during his recovery.

That is all this article relies on. Vujović did not name the exact technique, the number of grafts or the clinic's methodology in these statements, and this article does not name any clinic or doctor and does not guess at those details. Where the text below explains how hair transplants work and what recovery involves, it describes the procedure in general, not his treatment.

Saying plainly that he had a transplant so he could stop hiding under it removes some of the awkwardness that still surrounds male hair loss, especially for men under 30. Many men notice thinning at the temples or the crown years before they talk about it, and some never do, simply changing hairstyles or sticking to hats and caps instead. A well-known face admitting the cap was covering something, and that he decided to deal with it directly, makes the conversation easier for anyone in the same position.

It is also a reminder that a long single session is normal for a transplant that covers a noticeable area: a nine-hour procedure is not unusual when a large number of grafts are being moved, and it says nothing in itself about how severe the hair loss was beforehand.

• DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) — follicles are implanted directly with a pen-like tool, without pre-made incisions, which can give slightly denser placement in visible areas such as the hairline.

A combined FUE+DHI approach is also used, extracting grafts with FUE and implanting the most visible ones with DHI. Which method fits depends on the donor area and the pattern of hair loss, which is why the choice is made at a consultation, not from a celebrity's story.

There are also contraindications the surgeon checks for before booking a date, including an insufficient donor area, active skin disease on the scalp, uncontrolled diabetes, severe heart disease, epilepsy and intolerance to local anaesthetics. Donor hair quality, not age alone, decides whether the result will look natural.

The timeline below sets out the usual stages, which match what Vujović described when he said he could “finally” go out without his cap once healing was further along.

To be clear: City Medical Centre has no connection with Luka Vujović or his treatment. His story is simply a recent example of a public figure who spoke openly about a hair transplant.
