Lol the hate is strong.

Mycrowngone, thanks for the link to your HT, I will check it out. The only post care lotion I used was the one provided to me by the clinic. I also used the pills they gave me, that's about it. Other than that, 1 month after my HT I continued minoxidil everyday. Dutasteride 0.5mg every other day also, but you can take your fin or dut right after the HT(if you have already been taking it). I don't know if you are a new fin/dut user, how that would affect the HT.

My last post seemed to be a false alarm, my transplanted hairs did not fall again, it was actually just the alopecia areata attacking my native hair follicles again after going through major stress from unrelated issues. @ Twinspark, I know every one who shares their HT's write nice long posts about their experience, the thing is I have had no time because of college(spring and summer courses). I apologize for not doing the same but I will say that my experience with Maral Klinik, from 1 to 10, 10 being highest, I would be lying if I say it wasn't a perfect 10. They really took care of me throughout the entire procedure and post procedure. Midway through the HT, they gave me a break, where I had this great tasting grilled chicken provided by them, I will never forget the taste of that chicken. Dr. Maral is very responsible about hairlines, he did not let me have my desired lower hairline, but that just shows his professionalism. He was honest with me regarding alopecia areata and HT's, he was also clear that I have a poor donor area and maybe only 2000 grafts left. Like I said before, I will probably go back for another HT with Maral Klinik, so that should tell you what I thought about the experience. Of course final results are also important to determine if I will go back there or not, but so far I feel good about where things are heading. And as far as my experience with the clinic goes, it's definitely a group of people that I would once again trust with my scalp. The entire team is filed with highly skilled technicians. I can tell you i'm definitely not worried about my results. I am just worried about my own autoimmune disease, alopecia areata, ruining what could otherwise be a perfect HT.

Hey guys if I already went through the "ugly duckling phase", should I be going through another shed at 3 months? My transplanted hairs are thinning out which I find weird.

Thanks guys. I was getting nervous from the silent treatment Baldybee: The doc said this HT should be good enough for me, but I asked him myself if I can come back for another HT next year, and how many grafts do I have left. I have poor donor, he said I can do 2000 more grafts safely. Personally I will go back next year for another FUE, even though he said this procedure will be good enough.

Oh BTW, I just gave myself a haircut 2 days ago. It looks better grown out, even though it's very early on and nothing significant will happen until about 6-9 months.

@ 3 months(at around 3 months). The one showing the donor area, it's pink because I had just scratched, but it actually looks pretty normal. Please comment, feedback, etc.

Hi. On April 10th 2014, I got a 3000 FUE done at Maral Klinik. I was a NW4. Other than MPB, I also have alopecia areata. I was made aware from Dr Maral that if alopecia areata attacks again, even transplanted hairs will fall. I continued with the operation because it's better than being NW4 with an ugly head. In this post I will post my before pictures, and in my next post I will put up my 3 month post op pictures. Sorry for the different lightnings and angles, but I think it's obvious how bad it was before. Also, some of them are blurry, sorry about that, I do not have a high quality camera.

Hesediel, are you considering going back for another HT? So far, I am satisfied with my 3000 graft FUE from Maral Klinik, i'm at 3 months. Even though it's too early to talk like this, I know for a fact that I want a 2nd, smaller HT to further lower the hairline just a tiny bit if Dr Maral allows it. I have attached photos of how my hair looks right now. How does it look so far? It'll look better in the 8th-9th month I know, but I can pretty much get a glimpse of the final result, and I am sure I will go back for a 2nd and final HT in Maral Klinik, for that hair line. I let my hair grow until a few days ago, and definitely the hair that's grown out in the front helps me cover my forehead which is good news.

This is sad, sorry you didn't get the results you deserved. 4000 grafts is a LOT of grafts no matter how you slice it. I have seen outstanding results with less grafts on similar hairloss level, and even worse. I am a Dr. Maral patient and I can say things are going as expected for me, I am happy so far, I have a positive experience with him and his staff. Something went wrong here obviously, that is not how 4000 grafts should look like at 13 months IMO. And I agree with the above post, I also saw the H&W results that yielded poorly, we are probably thinking about the same one. It happens with even the best doctors in the world.

It looks good so far. Your donor area is like mine, i'm at 2 and a half months. When does the donor area start looking normal?

The thing is it's hard to tell because it's shaved. You should let it grow. But an experienced doctor will know by seeing the donor area regardless if it's shaved or not.

Good to see you back and nice progress. Depending on how my donor area heals up, I might go for another HT with Dr Maral next year. Would you do the same, Hesediel?

I don't think it's 1750 euro for no limit, it's 1700 euro: 1500-2500 grafts, 1750 euro: 2600-3500 grafts, 1800 euro: 3600-4500 grafts. This is straight an email from them on Feb 3 2014. Unless they changed it very recently. I paid 1750 euro($2400 something dollars) for 3000 grafts.

It has been 1 month and 2 weeks, doesn't it take like 3-4 months to start seeing full regrowth of hairs? And that is just when it starts, it should take 6-9 months to get a better idea where your hair is heading. I am 2 weeks and a half out of my HT and hairs are shedding, some hairs haven't shed, I am not worried, I 'll give it 3-4 months.
