2 weeks post surgery. I still look f****d up?
JohnSmith90 replied to JohnSmith90's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Hej! Ja jag ?r n?jd ?n s? l?nge. Allt l?kte bra och det finns inga s?r eller n?got. Dem var j?ttebra. Jag har bara inte f?tt resultat jag ?nskar p? hj?ssan men det ?r det v?rsta omr?det. Det tar uppemot ett ?r att se resultat d?r. Har du pratat med Halim eller hur kom du i kontakt med dem? -
I don't know. He did say that I was an excellent candidate for HT since I have thick and good donor area. I think he meant before. He said : "There have been situations where up to 9000-10000 grafts have been taken but I would never recommend it. In your case, and in most other cases, 6-7000 is enough and gives good results. We will aim at 3-3500 today to cover mostly the crown and future hair loss in the front. It will be easier to see once we shave you and after 12-18 months after the procedure".

I did a hair transplant 3 weeks ago in Istanbul. I had 3200 grafts done and the doctor was very, very good. I've been doing research for over a year and I know that most doctors don't recommend doing a hair transplant if you are this young. But what's the point in doing it when you are already bald? That kind of defeats the purpose. I know it's only been 3 weeks and I can't speak of the results yet. But the results now are not what worry me. It's in 5-10 years. What if I go even balder and have bald patches? What do I do then? I'm just scared that I made a mistake. Not there is any going back now. But I still feel anxious and nervous about the results. Has anyone else done a hair transplant at this age? What happened later? Here are the results after 3 weeks. I know it's a waitining game and there is nothing I can do but still. My crown area doesn't look good so far. Thanks guys! I really appreciate the help

I did 3200 grafts 2 weeks ago. Still haven't experienced shock hairloss but I guess that is coming. Could anyone take a look. The results seem weird. I know it's early but still.... I was told it could take up to 18 months especially on the crown.

I posted this in the wrong section so I'll post it again here. Sorry about that. I just returned home from Istanbul after doing a FUE procedure of 3200 grafts. I came home 4 days ago. Obviously I can not say much about the result yet but I will update this post once I better see the results. As far as my experience goes I am very happy. I'm from Sweden and I found a turkish guy here who has a company and he only works with Dr. Merdan Celik. This guy works like a middle man and he finds he customers and Dr. Celik does the operations. I paid the total price of 35000 SEK = 3700 EUR. In that price included plane tickets, 4 days at a hotel, all transportation, all the food. The procedure took around 8-9 hours. They were very thorough and professional. On me Dr. Melik worked maybe a total of half the time and he switched with 2 other nurses. He came by the hotel the next morning to take off the bandages and give us the medication. He came by again the following morning to show us how to do a proper wash and gave us some papers. Overall he was a very kind and nice doctor. I had a fungus thing growing on my back. He even proscribed me a medicine and shampoo for that, which he gave me the next day. I also liked Halim, the guy working as a middle man. He was with us every step of the way, translating, taking us to and from the hotel, showing us around Istanbul, taking us shopping and so on. I also want to give a warning to anyone going to Turkey. We met two guys when we were around Istanbul that did the procedure with another clinic. These guys were walking around in the 35 C sun, with their bandages and no head protection. Their doctor had not given them any medication, any instruction and didn't even have a follow up. You can find clinics for half of what I paid but be careful if you do this. I would not recommend it. Going to Turkey or a place like that is already cheating and doing it on the cheap side. Don't be cheap when you are already being cheap. Before I went I demanded references, diplomas, asked dozens of questions. Don't be lazy. I'm still a little red and sore and I only took one quick picture for you to see before and after. As I said I am still only a few days post op so I can't really comment yet on the results. That white thing on the post op picture is a lotion that didn't quite go away after my shower. Sorry about that. Good luck to anyone in the future doing a HT!

So yesterday I had FUE procesdure in Istanbul. Obviously I can't say much about the results yet but it feels good. The doctor, whose name I can not pronounce, was very good. The team was excellent. If anyone is interested I can post the doctors name and the clinic name later. I had 3200 grafts done. Didn't think I needed that much first but he told me I have a thick, good donor area so we might as well do it and hope I don't have to come back for future transplants. Or masala, masala as he said. It took a long time. About 8-9 hours. But I'd rather they do it right the first time and take their time. Anyways I have a few questions. I'm going to ask them the surgeon tomorrow as well but I just want second and third opinions. I'm not very good at this sitting still and doing nothing. I took a 2 week vacation. I could and can probably take more but I don't want to. What the hell am I going to do at home? Day time tv only takes you so far. My question is this. Can you wear a hat about 10 days after the operation? I was hoping to maybe go back to work next Monday. I have an office job so I just thought I would take a hat, tell some lie to my coworkers on why I have a hat and lock myself up in my office. The second question is regarding training and exercise. They told me to be very careful the first month. I'm a boxer and I want to go back and train ASAP. I read online that they do not recommend martial arts for the first 3-6 months. So I can't train for 6 months? Because that would really, really suck. What do you think?
