Any fans of Dr.Acar and Cosmedica? A friend of mine is going to Turkey to get FUE from Cosmedica in November and I am thinking to tag along maybe get a consultation see how many grafts I have left. I had back to back FUT’s in 2020,2021 for a total of 4,900 grafts in New York and am not happy with the result. Coverage is kinda crappy and you can still see through the scalp from the top. However this might be because 4,900 grafts isnt that much for dense coverage on a Norwood 6. Ideally I want another surgery this time FUE with Dr. Zarev in Bulgaria as his results seem second to none plus donor area will be limited. However i hear theres a 1.5-2 year wait for him and he also hasn’t replied to IG msg’s and emails.

I kept trying to contact Dr.Zarev via emails and IG and zero luck. I dont get how he doesnt have secretaries working on emails and IG. Seems a bit unprofessional in this regard

Is anyone coming in Turkey as good as Dr.Zarev? I dont wanna wait 2 years for my 3rd and ideally final surgery

Here you go, please keep me posted https://www.hairtransplantation.bg/index.php/en/contact-us

Amazing! You look great. Any advice on the best way to get in touch with Dr.Zarev? I tried Instagram and his website form last week but have not heard back

I personally want to use Dr.Zarev for my 3rd surgery in 3 years but no one has replied to my email or Instagram que

I tried reaching out to Dr.Zarev on Instagram as well as via the form on his website but no one has replied or gotten back to me 🤕

I started receding in my hairline when I was 26. Then thinned in the crown area when I was about 33

Even when I had a full head of hair I always had straight thin hair

I did have 1,200 neograft fue in 2013 so not sure how good my donor area is

I randomly came across him on youtube then his IG. Hes allegedly very versed in donor area and does 10-14,000 graft gig sessions. Heres some vids and his IG Anyone familiar with him? https://instagram.com/drzarev?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

it made sense at the time in terms of grafts for possible future procedures

True. Shoulda just went to Ankara. Woulda got the same amount of grafts for half the price and without a scar from fut lol 😆 Im gonna micro smp the scar once it turns white from pink

Howcome in Turkey they do 1-2 day surgeries and get like 3,500-6,000 grafts where as in the states ur lucky to get 3,500 grafts. Also I am not quite sure what to tell Bloxham during my 6 month consult. $25k down the drain 😭

I was born with 2 cowlicks but bloxham said he put grafts into them. Doesnt seem like they filled in much tho

Wondering if I am overreacting a bit.. heres a few more bathroom shots without bathroom lighting

Going to be 36 in a few months

John I am not sure where you got 3,900 from hut im guessing you did not go through the posts I made in this thread. jan 2013: 1,300 graft beograft fue Nov 2020: 3,000 fut with Bloxham Nov 2022: 1,900 fut with Bloxham So just with Bloxham alone in the last year and a half Ive gotten 4,900 fut grafts. Along with 2013’s neograft fue my total across 3 transplants is 6,100 grafts

I dont know where else I can possibly lose from except the dip underneath the crown as I had grafts pretty much from hairline to crown. wow 4 HT’s holy cow! That seems hard to get: 10k donor hairs seems very rare few people can get that many. were all your ht’s fut? Yeah except my crown was done Nov 2020 making it now 17 months

Anything to speed it up? I started taking this

I guess my issue is I watched a buncha vids on youtube with transplant timelines and seemed for all of then between month 4-5 enough growth happened where they didnt look ‘thinning’ anymore

I see the confusion… Jan 2013: Neograft FUE 1,200 grafts on hairline which was receding. Here’s a photo during procedure and then 4 months later when growth started. I was 26 years old. Then around 2018 the crown area started thinning slowly. I had my hair longer and did the combover look for a few years until finally the loss was too much to combover so I went to Bloxham because he was a 45 minute drive from me and I didnt want to risk Turkey as I heard many horror stories. November 2020: 3,000 graft FUT with bloxham. We did the crown and also a little behind the hairline (behind the areas I did in 2013 November 2021: 1,900 graft FUT with Bloxham. We did the front and middle part of my head to add more density to hairline as well as cover the thinning area in the front middle. I hope this cleared up any confusion

Anyone else care to chime in? Thought this board would be a bit more active 😑

I brushed my hair down and took a few more photos. I did with bathroom lighting and without. With the lighting it seems to look much much worse then it is

Crown was done November 2020 so next month will be 18 months. the front.. I guess i was expecting more growth but to be fair it did only start sprouting around February 10thish
