Hey Cloudy, Welcome to the ever growing Dr. Demirsoy group! Great write up, you've healed up well and got great coverage looking forward to seeing more updates on your progress. Good Luck mate.

ok guys here is around 5month update, hair is a little shiny because I had put on my daily dose of minoxidil. What do you think?

Hi I'll update with some pics shortly however not much going on had another hair cut to keep things neat, hair is defiantly getting more thicker on top I've had to start combing my hair in the mornings again man it's been a while !

Looking good mate, i think you need to update your photo on your passport / driving licence soon!

mm015 I had the same concerns as yourself, the initial healing process, scabbing, reddening etc. does take a few weeks to clear (although everyone has their own healing timeframe). I work in consulting so I spend most of my time infront of blue chip clients, turning up for a meeting with a strawberry head wasn't going to fly. What I did was cut my short before the procedure (but within the timeframe given by Dr. Demirsoy and not too short as per Dr. Demirsoy instructions). This way people at work got used to me in short hair. I then took 3 weeks off work, in that time my hair in the donor area had grown, scabs had gone but there was still some redness around the donor area, sheading of hair had begun. When I got back to work noone noticed I had a HT done, barring the redness which subsided over a few weeks I had pretty much the same short hair I left with. Growth is a slow process and in the 4 months since my HT I've had 3 "blade2" hair cuts to keep hair normalised so again people don't really notice, unless you compare pictures, but the growth for me I found to be quite natural it's not like you wake up with a bush of hair although that would be cool I'm sure things will be fine mate, I postponed having a HT for almost 10 years because of these concerns and in the end it really wasn't that much of a big deal workwise.

Thank you Cloudy, looking forward to the coming months

Thank you very much for your words of encouragement and expressing your view it means alot, I've contemplated what style to keep my hair once it's fully matured, shorter is what I'm thinking as well.... but being a 80's kid I'd love to go back to having this...!

4 Months, out of the 4177 grafts I had done 1630 grafts in the mid and crown, there is still lots of growth on the crown just a lot slower than the rest of my head (http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/154196-true-crown-area-slow-terms-growth.html). I'll see what the final result looks like if I need a top up on the crown then I may go ahead with it.

This is after my third "blade 2" haircut, pretty happy with progress but you get a better view of progress by comparing to original situation I've added a couple of "before" pictures. What do you guys think?

Hi Cloudy, I had another "blade2" hair cut about 2 weeks ago to balance out my hair, I'll take some new picks of the weekend and post them. Good luck with your HT mate just be prepared for the Anaesthesia! RXK

Dr Demirsoy ofcourse did the consultation, drawing on my head to show where hair transplants would be placed as well as their direction, he did the extraction drilling on the sides of my head (once the anaesthetists had done here job!), the nurses extracted the hair follicles from where Dr Demirsoy had drilled. Dr Demirsoy did the incisions, the nurses then then planted the hair follicles. Dr Demirsoy checked on progress regularly, I was pretty comfortable with what was going on although it does take a long time to plant the hair follicles and I was getting frustrated.. a classic moment of " ..are we there yet ?" I think if you google his name there is a german ht site that has more patient results on their, just bang the url in google translate and you get a flavour of what everyone is talking about. Best of luck mate.

Hi imnothere, I posted my 3 month update on the forum the procedure was done by Dr. Demirsoy, I've travelled to quite a few countries but not to Turkey, so having someone to pick you up take you to your hotel, explain what to expect and what to do while in Turkey was very reassuring and that is what the Health Travels contact provided. Dr. Demirsoy is very down to earth, a nice guy and gave me honest answers and expections. The clinic is very clean and modern and the staff are constantly monitored by Dr. Demirsoy during the procedure. Cost was not the deciding factor, the results from various patients was very important in my decision, plus I wanted Hairlosstfa to get it done first so I would know what to expect (we booked at the same time) Cheers.

I can tell based on my personal experience that there is no scaring that I can see especially the front of the head, I've posted pics which are pretty close up of the top of my head again nothing really visible.

This is exactly 3 months after HT.

Yeah looking back at it now I too found some not so positive information regarding Arman, at the time they were giving free flights and hotel stay but like so many poeple say on this forum do your research ... I wonder if this forum was around then.
