How can you say that of a recommended surgeon on here? Fair enough if I went to a tech mill in Turkey, I chose a recommended surgeon on here. Is it the norm for recommended surgeons on here to do 7000+ extractions in one day and three procedures a day? By the way that question is not directed at you. I am annoyed because donor hair is limited, if it wasn't, I wouldn't be posting on here today. I feel it is incumbent on all ethical, responsible and recommended doctors to treat donor hair as important as it is, give it your 100% attention. All the money in the world can't buy you new donor hair.

Tell me this. Do respectable doctors do 7000+ extractions in one day and two to three procedures in one day?

I am saying the result is subpar because I feel it is, some have posted on this thread it is subpar, and some have privately messaged me to say in their opinion it is subpar and a recent consultation with a surgeon told me it was subpar. The same surgeon does not believe I yielded anyway near 3400 grafts. The same surgeon was alarmed another surgeon would perform 7000+ extractions in one day. Do you think the surgeon is right to question 7000+ grafts being extracted in one day by another surgeon is a concern or is it perfectly normal to do that? Also, I didn't attempt to cover my whole scalp, the procedure was for the frontal and mid area. The day of my consultation with Dr Resul he said I had an average of 25 hairs per sq cm and after the result it would be an average of 80 hairs per sq cm. I have recently been told that is not the final result outcome and as in my sixteenth month, to expect no further improvement.

Thanks for the feedback too.

Appreciate the feedback.

We all know we have a limited donor supply so we have to choose carefully and research, research, research. Now lets say the day of your procedure, a big day and a big decision and not only are you getting circa 3500 grafts procedure but another person that day is also getting the exact same. The surgeon is about to embark on 7000 extractions in one day. Your limited donor supply is in the hands of this doctor and your end result is poor. Of course you would have questions. Would that be a recommended course of action to persue by the experienced posters on here? Getting a 3500 graft procedure the same day in the clinic as another patient getting likewise?

I'm not stuck in any cycle. With our donor hair being limited, I'm not sure it is ethical for a surgeon to do 7000 or more extractions in one day where he says he is so busy he has not much time to come up for air or to be guaranteed he does all the extractions when he may not or he is doing 2 or 3 procedures a day or claims to break the extraction phase into groups of 1000's when that is clearly not the case. Also I do appreciate your feedback but when a hair surgeon examines me two weeks ago and says my results are subpar, and of course it is an opinion but to be alarmed that a surgeon would do seven thousand extractions in one day. I think I have legitimate questions to ask, after all my donor supply is limited like everyone.

A) I thought the whole idea about this forum was choosing a recommended surgeon, in which I did. B) My expectations were created from my face to face consultation with Dr Resul. And C) The result is not what was told, not only is it a subpar result, there are question marks over the extraction phase.

Take a look at before and after pictures of 3400 grafts and then look at the results Dr Resul is posting on here. Also Dr Resul told me my donor was very good and the grafts extracted were excellent quality and tell me that is not a sub par result, for 3400 grafts.

Yet the surgeon said the final result would result in 80 hairs per sq cm and I have already been told that is not the case. I have also had my result looked at by another surgeon and he has said not only is there not a result showing a yield near 3400 grafts but a surgeon cannot do 7000 extractions in one day. The result is very thin and subpar.

I have mentioned this in a previous post and have a theory to why my result may be subpar. I also accept I may be wrong in relation to this, so any experienced posters that would like to chime in, I would dearly appreciate the feedback. My extraction phase was broken into two parts. The second felt quite different from the first. The first I firmly believe Dr Resul did 100% of the extraction phase but the second phase was different, as if Dr Resul did the ground work but a tech actually pulled out the grafts if that makes sense? Also I was awake for the whole procedure and fully aware of what was going on. Could that batch of grafts or some of them have been compromised? I would like to add that I have not been in contact with the clinic since my last Whatsapp conversation with their rep as I wanted to get feedback from the community on here first.

I beg to differ. I have recently had a consultation with a different doctor, showed him the before and after pictures and also he obviously physically examined my hair that day. He told me there is no way my result represents 3400 grafts. Also the day of my surgery, there was another patient there and he received 3600 grafts. The recent consultation I had, the surgeon was flabbergasted that a surgeon could or would do 7000 extractions in one day.

I disagree it looks decent. I was told the day of my consultation the finished result would yield 80 hairs per sq cm. My final result certainly did not yield that. I followed all the instructions and got a poor result, especially in the mid section, it is very thin. I have to use hair fibres each day. I expected a far better result with 3400 grafts.

So today is my sixteenth month to the day I had my transplant. Things are as good as they're going to get and I am very underwhelmed with my results. At five months in, things looked quite well, looking back now, I realise the PRP I received the day before my treatment certainly helped with thickening and most definitely darkening my hair at the time.. It is as if the PRP at five months was temporarily masking a poor result. I would like some feedback from the forum on my result, for 3400 grafts, I think the result is poor. I am considering a request for a partial refund from Dr Resul. I spent alot of time researching doctors, looked at plenty of results posted by Dr Resul but admittedly not many by actual patients, my results don't mirtor the results he posted. A couple of months ago I did get a whatsapp message from their rep guaranteeing their results and if not satisfied perhaps they can provide more services. I only have about 1500 grafts left, and I do not intend returning to a surgeon with those precious grafts that has already delivered a poor result. First two pictures 16 months, third picture day before surgery.

Can I ask who performed your hair transplant and did that doctor also perform PRP the day before surgery?
