John Cena shares details about his second hair transplant

17-time WWE world champ John Cena is sharing details about undergoing his second FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant nearly two years after the ‘life-changing’ first round.

It all began in November 2024 when the 49-year-old retired wrestler went under the knife for ’13 and a half hours’ at the Anderson Center for Hair in Atlanta, Georgia after online trolls called him ‘bald.’

‘The objective is to get more hair, and this was the best way to do it, talking with Ken Anderson, my doctor over there. I love the guy. He’s totally changed my life,’ Cena told People on Saturday.

‘I went back to him like, “Man, you did great. I have this one small, small, small spot. Can you do it?” He’s like, “I can. My best results are — if you’re bold enough to shave your head, I can keep the follicles.”‘

The Little Brother star officially returned to the Anderson Center on June 29 with a newly shaved head for another eight-hour FUE procedure.

‘I’m rocking this hair thing with the promise that it’s working,’ Cena noted.
