Did Nikola Milošević (Đota) get a hair transplant? Yes, and he's not ashamed of it
Serbian YouTuber and fitness influencer Nikola Milošević, known as Đotafreestyle, has talked more than once about losing his hair early and about the transplant that followed. In 2021 the outlet 24sedam.rs, and in 2024 Kurir, both quoted him describing the same story: hair loss that started at 23, became visible at 25, and a procedure he says he is not ashamed to talk about. Below is exactly what he said, where, and what a hair transplant involves today for anyone considering one.

What did Nikola Milošević say about his hair transplant?
Interviewed by 24sedam.rs and later by Kurir, the YouTuber and fitness influencer known as Đotafreestyle described how his hair loss began: "Sa 23 godine je kosa počela da mi opada, i to mi je baš teško palo, sa 25 je već sve to bilo vidljivo na zaliscima" — "My hair started falling out at 23, which was hard for me, and by 25 it was already visible at the temples." He went on: "Ja se ne stidim da sve ovo priznam. Mnogi žele da urade transplantaciju, ali nisu sigurni u sebe, ne znaju kako, koju kliniku da izaberu. Ja sve ovo pričam, kako bih pomogao ljudima koji imaju ovaj problem" — "I'm not ashamed to admit all this. A lot of people want a transplant but aren't sure of themselves, don't know how or which clinic to choose. I talk about all this to help people who have this problem." Kurir later quoted him on the result itself: "Sad smo na šest i po meseci od operacije. Tako da je sve super za sada... Ja sam već sad zadovoljan ovim delom, planiram za nekoliko godina da to uradim ponovo" — "We're now six and a half months out from the surgery. Everything's great so far... I'm already satisfied with this result, and I'm planning to do it again in a few years."

WhatsAppThat is all this article relies on. Milošević did not state a calendar year for the transplant in either report, so none is added here. Where the sections below explain methods and timelines, they describe hair transplantation in general, not his own treatment.
Why his words matter
Milošević's account follows a pattern many men recognise: hair loss that starts quietly in the early twenties, becomes visible a couple of years later, and gets hidden for a while before a decision is made. What stands out is how he framed talking about it afterwards — not as something to hide, but as information that helps other men who are hesitant and unsure which clinic to trust.
More on this topic: Hair Transplant, Beard Transplant, Eyebrow Transplant, FUE & DHI Hair Transplant in Singapore, FUE & DHI Hair Transplant in Málaga.
He was also honest that the final look takes time: he spoke about waiting for results and being satisfied with where things stood at six and a half months, while already planning a second round in a few years.
That patience matters. Hair loss in men is usually genetic, and it does not stop on its own. A transplant does not change the underlying tendency to lose hair in untreated areas; it moves follicles that are resistant to it from the back of the head to where hair has thinned. Expecting an instant result is the most common source of disappointment, which is exactly why Milošević's own timeline is a useful reference point.

How a hair transplant works today
A modern hair transplant is an outpatient procedure done under local anaesthesia. Follicles are taken one by one from a donor area, usually the back of the head and temples, and placed where hair has thinned. The main technologies differ in how the grafts are implanted:
FUE
- How grafts go in
- Into pre-made channels, with forceps
- Graft trauma
- Minimal
- Typically suits
- Androgenetic alopecia
- Price at City Medical Centre
- $2,200
DHI
- How grafts go in
- Directly with a Choi implanter pen, no pre-made channels
- Graft trauma
- Minimal
- Typically suits
- Densification
- Price at City Medical Centre
- $2,500
Combined FUE+DHI
- How grafts go in
- FUE extraction, DHI implantation
- Graft trauma
- Minimal
- Typically suits
- Androgenetic alopecia and densification together
- Price at City Medical Centre
- $2,700
All three use local anaesthesia and leave no incisions or stitches. Which option fits a particular case — the extent of hair loss, the quality of the donor area — is something a surgeon decides at a consultation, not something a celebrity's story can tell you.
Who it suits and how to prepare
A transplant works best when the donor area at the back of the head is dense enough and hair loss follows a clear pattern, such as:
- a receding hairline or thinning at the temples;
- a thinning crown, combined with a receding hairline;
- hair loss after an injury, a burn, an illness or a hormonal change.
There are also contraindications the surgeon checks before booking a date, including trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, cancer, age under 18, epilepsy, serious heart conditions and intolerance to anaesthetics.
What recovery and results look like
Milošević's own timeline — waiting months to see results, judging the outcome properly only after a longer stretch — matches how transplanted hair actually behaves. In the first 0–10 days the scalp heals and small crusts come off. Over weeks 2–4 the transplanted hairs shed, which is expected and not a sign of failure: the follicles stay in place under the skin.
New growth starts around months 3–4, often fine at first, and becomes clearly visible as density by months 6–9 — close to the point Milošević described being satisfied with his own result. The final outcome is judged at 12–18 months.

How hair transplant results usually develop
- Day of surgeryLocal anaesthesia; grafts are taken and implanted; you go home the same day.
- Days 1–10The scalp heals and small crusts fall off.
- Weeks 2–4Transplanted hairs shed — expected, the follicles remain in place.
- Months 3–4New hair begins to grow, often fine at first.
- Months 6–9Density becomes clearly visible.
- Months 12–18The final result can be assessed.
