Are you able to PM on this forum yet? If yes, sent me a pm. I can help

I started on proscar 4 months ago and my last pill finished this friday. I have ordered a years supply of branded proscar today from a GP who provides private prescription of fin here in the UK. Hopefully it should arrive this Wednesday or Thursday. My question is I would have not taken fin for 5-6 days. Can a shed start or would I lose a some hairs? Fin is doing wonders for me; hair is thicker, growing out more and crown is looking better in years. A doctors opinion would be grateful.

If you were having sides, try taking a lower dose and then gradually build up. Your body should gradually adjust. The new grafts shouldn't be affected by DHT as they should be taken from the safe zone. Any ethical surgeon knows this. The new grafts if taken from the safe zone should grow free of DHT. Regaine can help speed up the growth of the new hairs but I personally wouldn't recommend it. If you accidentally use Regaine on native hair or if grafts were places between existing native hair then you have to stick to Regaine for life; if Regaine is used. I am saying this from personal experience. The key is to be patient. An ht is a big investment and having patience is a must

Not sure about Since 21 but I am using brand proscar. I cut the pills into 4. Crown and mid scalp have improved. Seeing less hair loss when showering or when running fingers through hair. I been on proscar for 4 months. Started the week after my ht. It does take a year to assess if its working for you

Yep same here. Have some small patches, checked my post op pics which show these areas were dense packed. Maybe the grafts are still asleep! Happy growing mate

I am experiencing the same Since 21. Despite hitting 4 months and 3 weeks, the growth is fuzzing. Good thing is the previous bald areas are filling in now. I am sure I still have a majority of grafts to pop out yet. I think 4 months mark growth level is 15%?

Thank you Denny!

Really need to get some out-door photos in natural sunlight. The weather has been horrible for the past 8 weeks in the UK

You be fine mate. You been through it before and you know what to expect to happen! Its a emotional roller coaster. I found the first 3 months the most difficult. The ugly duckling phrase had a weird effect on some

Thank you Scooter. It has been one hell of a ride and many more months to come! The hairline is coming through but the area behind the hairline is lagging behind. Well its only nearly 5 months, hopefully the next few months the fruit should blossom further.

Great to hear your doing well. Shedding is a challenge but they will return! I found the first 2.5 months were the most difficult...keep it up Denny

A quick update. Have noticeable little growth which looks good. Still a long way to go yet but its looking promising!

Looking great Denny! Excellent write up and a very similar experience to mine. Your photographs are awesome and the work looks really clean. High-five to Dr Koray and Delek. Seeing you smile in the photographs really made me happy; you deserve it. Hope your shoulder is healing and happy growing.

Wow! 4002 grafts. This will be awesome taking in account the grouping of the grafts and your good donor. Hairline is excellent. Really well done

I just realised something. Thanks to Denny and his thread. Denny posted a photo of Delek; Dr Koray's most experienced tech who receives much praise was the main tech who worked on me! I didn't ask her name and didn't realised who she was! Now thinking about I am very happy to know I was in good hands and hopefully my final result will awesome. My good friend Denny had his surgery a few days ago and I wish him good luck! I wouldn't be where I was today if it wasn't to Denny and his support

Just after my surgery with Dr. Erdogan and Delek.

Looking good Denny! I just realised something. The tech who worked on me was Delek! I just didn't ask her name! Wow, I was in good hands and so were you. She really knows what is doing and is superb in her work. Hope you passed my good wished to them. Your done well done, proud of you. You faced many obstacles in your journey. By the way, did you stick to your original plan of 4000 grafts or something?

Hey Yaz

I'm booked for my surgery with Dr Koray in March. Did you stay in the Nice Royal Hotel and if so was there a safe in the room and did you have to pay for your room with cash or did you pay on a card.

 

I am taking a large amount of money with me so I want to weigh up my options with cash/card etc

 

Thanks for your time

Hiya mate. I stayed at the Asia City Hotel which is 5 mins away from the clinic. There was a safe in the room. I paid using Euros at the hotel. In Turkey majority of places and services such as taxis, fast food shops, general grocers, phone shops take Turkish Lira; as its Turkey lol. Well I did have the option to pay with lira, euros or pounds for my hotel stay. I used Euros. Don't worry about carrying money with you as its a very safe country/ city. You be fine. Make sure you do take a significant amount of Lira with you. I made the mistaken of converting only a few lira when I left for Turkey. And had to convert to Lira when I realised majority of places only take Lira

Hey man, I am happy for you! It looks great! Do not forget you are only at the 4 months mark. This is really awesome! Enjoy the coming months!

Yes Denny! Imagine how its going to be in a few months time....

Looking great Yaz, thanks for the updates.The next few months should be fun !

Hey Scooter. Hope your well mate and getting on well with your recent surgery. A few months time you will be at my stage of the progress! Hold on...

I'm a big fan of Dr. Erdogan's FUE results. Looks really great! Congrats on your new hair!! =)

 

Best,

 

Mike

Thank you! Dr Koray is an excellent doctor. Its only 4 months and I want more...hair greed lol!

Well done Denny my friend! You have been waiting for a while for your procedure. Its happening now! I can relate to your experience. Truly amazing (yep the nurses at the clinic are pretty. I had 2 translators lol!) Can't wait to see your photographs. Say hello to everyone at the clinic for me; tell Dr Koray I miss and will visit again one day.

4 months update: Well hair line is progressing really well. A bit concerned about slow growth is some parts of the transplanted areas. Numbness has greatly subsided; still feels tender and numb in the middle of the head. This area was also transplanted. Maybe the grafts still haven't kicked out yet. So far, for 4 months its looking very promising. Currently I have been on fin since my h/t. No side-effects at all! Still a long a way to go yet.

Its coming! Thats how I am looking right now! You will definitly see more improvement next month.

I understand where your coming from. I personally feel this forum is a great place to ask for advice and guidance if one is asking for it. There are many experienced posters and patients on here, so it is a nice feeling when someone replies. I think you won't be able to delete the other threads, the moderators can only do that. Trying asking David or Blake? Photographs wise; you won't be able to upload from a mobile phone. I found my iPhone photos don't go through but from my laptop they do. You be fine, I am going through the same boat. Just hit 14 weeks post op and waiting for the hairs to pop out but it doesn't work like that! Patience, patience and more patience!

Yo Scooter! How are ya man! Well done on your second procedure. Good start to the new year! Your created three new threads, I am all confused which one you be posting to
