Hello dear fellow hairloss sufferers!
After three years of battling against hairloss with medication and actively researching on the subject i finally booked the operation day on 4th of August 2014 with Dr Hakan Doganay. First of all i'm a twenty years old caucasian male with NW2/NW3 hairline. My hairloss started slowly around the temples at the age of 17-18. I started the "Big three" treatment before i turned 19 with EXCELLENT RESULTS. During the last two years i havent been losing my hairline anymore, my existing hair has thickened and i dont shed any hair if i shower or comb my hair. Despite the fact that the medication is working great my hairline is still pretty receded and at times it really gets me down. Due to my relatively young age (I will be 21 during the upcoming procedure) we decided to keep the hairline design conservative with 1500-2000 grafts.
The reason i decided to go with Dr Hakan was his IAHRS membership, great results, good reputation on internet communities such as Hairrestorationnetwork.com, and very reasonable pricing with 2€/graft including free accommodation, taxi transfers and free PRP.
Currently i am having a gap year from studies and doing construction working at the Finnish Puijo academic hospital to finance the upcoming procedure. I Am applying to medical school this year and i must say that one of the factors behind my decision was hairloss, it really had an impact on my social life and overall confidence and afterwards i can say that i learned many things about life by those experiences.
All the best and remember to stay positive! I will publish my monthly progression until 12th month mark after operation. Feel free to ask any questions.
