Man,

1. This would not preclude you from being a candidate. This is assuming you are a good FUE candidate in general.

2. Shaved in the donor or recipient region? In most cases, physicians will basically shave both. However, only shaving a portion of the donor area and leaving the recipient area longer may be a possibility. You would need to discuss this with your surgeon.

3. Yes, Dr. Doganay is excellent. In Turkey, I recommend reviewing Dr. Erdogan as well.

4. It depends on what you mean by noticeable. The grafts will shed anywhere between post-op day 10 and month 3, but redness in the recipient scalp can last a bit longer.

Hope this helps.

Hi Man

I have just contacted Dr Hakan and wonder how long from initial contact to getting a surgery date.

Ive had Fue done and the donor area will be shaved, however the plantation area does not have to be. I think he charges a little more to do this than shaving whole head. I had longer hair than now 1-2# shaved, but got away with it as you worry about it been public knowledge. I did use Toppik to mask things which i would consider again.

How are you paying as the credit card charge is 8%.

I was emailed a estimate on grafts and that cash is preferred option as card will be 8% charge.

I was told i have to show plane ticket to be able to book available dates in april
