Dear sl and dear Patriot34, Thank you for your advice. My head is always covered when outside. I leave in a sunny country with 35 degrees celsius so my head sweat quite a bit when outside. Nevertheless I spend lot of time inside with aircon and there I don't need a hat. A laser comb will be hard to find here. I will probably try aloe vera and take cooler showers. Not a problem with such warm weather here I have documented the scar even if it is more difficult to take not-to-blury pictures of it. Next week it will be 8 weeks so I'll post new pictures including the scar. Patriot34, I hear what you say about the number of grafts and we will have indeed to see how it turns out. I am actually quite happy with the number because before the surgery we talked of about 3'000 grafts and other doctors had calculated a need of 3'200. I told Dr Bisanga to take what he could even if it was more than planned. I guess size of head, elasticity and density dictates how much cam be taken. 3'500 being more than expected I was quite happy with the bonus grafts. But indeed we will see if a FUE is needed later on for the crown and maybe to add density to the first intervention. None of you both commented my potential shock loss situation around the crown. What do you think ?

Hi everyone. Well, I am now at 6 weeks. It starts being more difficult for me as I felt things where evolving the first weeks and now nothing seem to happen. I understand it is quite normal but nevertheless I feel the redness is still quite strong and the skin looks quite "bumpy". I wonder if this is normal. Any advice on how to reduce the redness and get rapidly to a normal looking skin ? Looking at others picture it seems to me that many would have already some hair growth by now, even if not much. Most of my transplanted area is just bold. When touching it feels totally bold and it is hard to believe hair will grow. It does not feel at all as after shaving when you can still feel the hairs to grow soon. What is your experience ? Another of my concern is the vertex/crown area. I post a before and after picture. It seems I have lost quite some hairs there since the surgery and I don't know why as shock loss would rather happen around the transplanted area or the scar area. My hair are shorter now than before the surgery but still. Any comment on that ?

Here it is after 4 weeks. Redness and lots of grafts have shed.

Here are a few pictures of the day of surgery. Before and after. The entire process lasted 9 1/2 hours. Long day but no real pain and excellent dynamic and interaction with a highly professional team.

Hi everyone! First of all I would like to thank all people who have been posting their experience and the ones who have commented postings. It has helped me a lot to make the decision to go for HT and to have a feel of what to expect. I'll appreciate your comments and advice as I find the journey challenging. I did the FUT HT with Dr. Christian Bisanga at BHR Clinic, Brussels, Belgium I am 43. I planned to have a FUE but several doctors I have consulted in person or by mail (in England, Belgium, Thailand) have recommended FUT. Others, in Turkey, have suggested FUE but eventually I decided to go for the doctor I felt most comfortable with and went for the FUT he recommended. Grafts count: 3533 1 hair: 673 2 hairs: 1439 3 hairs: 1455 4 hairs: 351 Total : 9320 hairs Donor density: average of 71.2 UF/cm2 Type of hair: medium fine Never took medicines. My HT took place early April 2014. The team has been really great before, during and after the surgery. Highly professional and very kind people looking for your well being at all times. I'll upload some pictures in the next post.

Hi everyone, I have been reading this forum for a while now and want to thank all contributors. It is very useful to read you and I hope to be able to contribute. I am considering a HT. I am a NW4A I think and the first feedback I got from several doctors is that I would need around 3'000-3'500 grafs. I am considering FUE. Now prices seem to vary a lot. In all my research for a good doctor I end up with a recommendation to go with Dr Cem Zeybak at Florence Nightingale clinic in Istanbul. This recommendation comes from a company facilitating medical travels to less expensive countries. The price is 1,20 € / graft in FUE, all included (except hotel). Sounds cheap bearing in mind the intermediary need to get something too. I have been unable to find information on this doctor's work which does not mean he is not good. He has studied in France for many years(I'm French). I was wondering if anyone knows about him, have had any experience, knows his reputation, has seen his work... Thanks for your help !
