Aftermath

Dave.davies3@aol.co.uk

Compared to the above pics I just don't see how it's possible to get from this to that in 1700 grafts... Unless you're caked in concealer or you've have the best reaction ever recorded to propecia!!

What people are asking for is a pic of you pre- op with your face to show it's you, can't really tell with a 6month pic or a post op pic, inbox me a pic if u don't want it online! Btw if this is legit it's one of the best transformations I've seen and u look great! I'll wait until I see an actual pre-op pic before I congratulate you though

Forgot about feriduni! Add him to my list!

Maybe when Lorenzo ships off back 2 Spain...

I won't be as diplomatic as future! One word... Don't!!! I wouldn't go 2 a clinic like that in a Million years! If you do chances are you'll end up a repair patient! I'm from the uk and there is literally 1 doc I'd see in the uk... Dr Lorenzo currently with farjo. Other than that u need to travel... Top 3 for me in no order Dr Hasson - Vancouver (strip- doesn't do FUE) Dr Rahal - Ottowa (strip- does FUE but better at strip IMO) Dr Konior - Chicago (again better at strip IMO) As for FUE, maybe 3 I'd trust Dr Lorenzo - Manchester/Madrid (best FUE IMO) Dr bisanga - Brussels Dr Koray Erdogan - Turkey Hope this helps

like u said mate, its 2 early 2 worry, at 3months the growth usually begins, it doesn't tend to be uniform, just a hair here and there to start, i'd just relax and by month 6 you'll have a much better idea

just FYI bro, implantation is routinely done by techs even at the best clinics in the world! I've been to dr hasson multiple times and he did none of the implanting! i think the most important thing is the extractions with FUE! i wouldn't trust any1 but the doctor to do the punching and extracting!

yeah i suppose, do we even know where the guy is from? hoping its legit actually otherwise its pretty bad, u would think they would retract his invite of this site if its not real and it would look bad for the industry as a whole! if it is legit the thats a big compliment for Hakan that he's produced a literally unbelievable result!

Let me know if u get the pics made, I'm curious about this 1

How many were they doing a day? Top clinics tend to do 1-2 cases per day

Quality control is all about consistency though mate not taking advantage of an influx of patients and dropping usual standards to make some quick cash! I really hope this isn't what's going on! Guess we'll see with the results 9-12 months from now!

It's not just your result, I've noticed a few negative comments and reports from recent patients! I wouldn't mind seeing pre and post op with the face... You should just post it as your face is shown on your profile pic there's no reason not to. The negitive comments are patients whose transplants haven't grown in yet so it may all turn out fine, I just think with the negativity lately the clinic need to comment or manage their patients better post op

I can't comment as I've never seen the doctor or looked into the clinic, it's just something I've noticed the last couple of weeks, and now this result where the general condition of the hair pre and post op are worlds apart, and it seems like a hell of a change for a small amout of grafts! If it's legit (which I'm sure it must me) then there must either be 1 hell of a response to mess or concealer... Maybe unknown to the doc

seems to be a lot of negativity towards Dr Doganay on this forum lately from recent patients and accusations of fake accounts and trickery in results... really don't know what to think, I'd like to hear the doctor/clinic addressing these rumours and also see some 1 year results from people who've seen him recently and have authentic accounts... not saying the patient isn't authentic but i'd like to see results from patients with long standing accounts on here!

I doubt he would've put multiple in the front hairline as this gives a pluggy unnatural look, it's usually singles only in the hairline and he probably used the multiples in the back part where it meets your old hairline, but yeah if he did 55per cm then no reason why you shouldn't get a good result, usually when they quote 2000 to move a hairline 1cm they use singles so possibly he used singles in the very front and the multiples behind which might explain the lower graft count because the multiples will contain 2-4 hairs, looking at the numbers u actually got 3350 hairs which isn't far off the recommended 2000 per cm if only singles are used (as is the case in the hairline usually)

50-55cm is generally what's recommended to give the illusion of full density in the hairline so if yours is 55cm the result should look pretty good when grown in, might be worth contacting the surgeon as he'd have the best idea of density per square cm since he performed the surgery! It should be in his notes. The other way is to measure the recipient area to give the size in square cm and then dividing the amout of grafts by the size in square cm

I saw that link, it does look like a larger area than yours in all honesty, that's what I said before about hair characteristics though, some people have larger calibre hair than others and can get away with less grafts, you won't know until it's grown in, but I have a feeling it's gonna be nowhere near as bad as your imagining!

No point in dwelling mate, can't take it back and no point stressing over something that's done

Agreed! It took me a while 2 get it right after my last op!

Not sure mate, don't see why not, but in all honesty I'd probably stick with the hairline and beef it out (if it's needed) ergodan is probably the cheapest (quality) FUE surgeon bisanga and Lorenzo are also very good but do charge much higher rates! Hopefully though mate when it grows in it'll look fine, only time will tell! If a second op is needed though the post op will be less noticeably different because you'll already have hair in the hairline before you start so it'll be much easier to camouflage! You obviously weren't happy before the op, u did this for a reason so even if a second pass is needed look at it this way... Your on a journey to the hair u want... You will get there, if not in one pass then without question after a second pass! You've not got horrible scars or not enough donor to cover your scalp, if desired density isn't achieved, it's very fixable! Probably 90% of this form would give their right arm to be in the position you're in with your hair!

Make up in the recipient area is generally not recommended as it may affect the final outcome, topik is fine, but it all depends on what your doc advised I suppose, same with shaving recipient area, it's generally not recommended but ask your doc! If you aren't worried at this point about the final result and your main concern is about hiding what you've had done completely then I suppose a clean shave and make up is the only option! You've gotta weigh up though whether saving some potential embarrassment (I say potential because people probably won't notice or care) is worth risking potentially affecting the final result! As far as the crown goes... Medication such as propecia should stop that and maybe improve it, and if it's only noticeable when your head is shaved then there's really no problem if u don't intend to shave it in future! Get some perspective mate, your not dying! Your healthy, u just have some redness of the scalp which will pass with time! Like I said very worst case scenario in a year u have a small op to add density... And with a bit of luck u may not even need that!

That last pic doesn't even look bad mate looks relatively normal compared to some of the post op dive had in the past! Check out the lack of density from my first op mate! Yours won't be anywhere near that bad, and I'm in good shape now, just takes time! http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/174502-my-hair-transplant-story-2000grafts-dr-farjo-6000-dr-hasson-4-years-post-op.html

Outta that list I'd probably choose Lorenzo, have u considered Hasson and Wong though? They have a great track record with repairs, mega sessions and great 1 pass results! IMO they would be the best choice if there's adequate donor, that way u can use the available hair for strip, get a scar revision then look at Lorenzo if FUE is needed after that

I very much doubt u have shock loss in the crown mate, hair tends to always look thinner when buzzed, I do think with a low hairline that if your not on something like propecia then u need to get on it. As for the girlfriend I'd just tell her, it won't be as bad as u think! I hid my first op under a hat, I told her for the second and she didn't care! Had a new gf for the third op, told her and she was also fine about it. U see some on here that are NW 6-7 have had a strip done so they can't shave it down and have zero growth! Look how much better off ur than those! If it doesn't work out this time then 1 more straight forward op for 3500 dollars will give u a fantastic head of hair! That's worst case scenario!
