Every generation has its own music and its own hairstyles, although I had one foot in Davor's generation and one foot in that '80s, somewhat punk one.

WhatsAppAsked separately which hairstyle he would choose, he answered: “Every generation has its own music and its own hairstyles, although I had one foot in Davor's generation and one foot in that '80s, somewhat punk one.” The outlet reported that he does not hide being very satisfied with the result, while noting that the hair still needed to grow in and the real outcome would only be visible after a few months.
That is all this article relies on. Sexon did not describe the surgical technique or the number of grafts, and this article does not name the clinic, so we do not guess at any of those details. Where the text below explains methods and timelines, it describes hair transplantation in general, not his treatment.
Why his openness matters
Sexon has spent decades as a public figure fronting one of the most recognisable rock bands from the former Yugoslavia, known internationally for the soundtrack to Emir Kusturica's film “Underground”.

Choosing to go through the procedure in full view, with a video of the process shared publicly, is itself notable for a musician of his generation, where such decisions were rarely discussed at all. Nothing here comments on his appearance; the point is that he treated the decision as an ordinary one, worth talking about rather than hiding.

How a hair transplant works today
A modern hair transplant is an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia. Follicles are taken one by one from the donor area, usually the back of the head and the temples, and placed where hair is missing. Two techniques are used, sometimes together:
FUE
- How it works
- Grafts extracted one by one; no incisions or stitches
- Typically chosen when
- Classic choice for most patients
DHI
- How it works
- Grafts implanted directly with a pen-like tool, no pre-made channels
- Typically chosen when
- Denser placement in a chosen area
Combined FUE+DHI
- How it works
- FUE extraction, DHI implantation
- Typically chosen when
- Larger areas needing both speed and density
The whole procedure takes place in a single day, and the patient goes home the same evening.
Who is a candidate and what to check beforehand
A transplant is usually considered for androgenetic hair loss, a receding hairline or temples, thinning at the crown, low density overall, or hair loss after an injury or burn — at any adult age, including, as in Sexon's case, later in life.
- The donor area matters most. The surgeon checks how much healthy hair is available at the back and sides before estimating the number of grafts.
- Some conditions rule it out for now, including active patchy (focal) alopecia, trichotillomania and body dysmorphic disorder — these need a dermatologist's or psychiatrist's assessment first, not a transplant.
- Other contraindications include uncontrolled diabetes, severe heart disease, epilepsy and intolerance to anaesthetics.
What recovery looks like
The first 7–10 days are for healing of the tiny puncture points. Around weeks 2–4 the transplanted hairs typically shed — a normal stage, since the follicles themselves remain in place, matching what was reported about Sexon still waiting for his hair to grow in.
New growth usually starts at months 3–4, density becomes clearly visible at months 6–9, and the final result is judged at months 12–18.
How recovery after a hair transplant usually goes
- Day of the procedureLocal anaesthesia; grafts are harvested and placed in one visit.
- Days 1–10The tiny puncture points heal; mild redness and scabbing fade.
- Weeks 2–4Transplanted hairs usually shed — normal; follicles stay in place.
- Months 3–4New growth begins.
- Months 6–9Density becomes clearly visible.
- Months 12–18The final result is assessed.

Frequently asked questions
When did Sejo Sexon have his hair transplant?
It was reported in July 2025, with a video showing part of the process. He said the real result would only be visible after a few months, once the hair had grown in.
What did he say the procedure was like?
He described it as something completely new for him and said he spent the time reflecting rather than writing songs. He did not describe the surgical technique.
How old was he when he had it done?
He had the procedure later in life, which the article itself treated as notable; age is not a barrier to a hair transplant as long as there is enough donor hair and no medical contraindications.
Is a hair transplant painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so it is not painful during surgery. Mild discomfort in the first days afterwards is normal and manageable.
How much does a hair transplant cost at City Medical Centre?
Current prices start at $2,200 for FUE and $2,500 for DHI; the combined method is $2,700. The exact price is confirmed after the free consultation.
