  1. Congrats Yes some pics would be great... Best wishes D
  2. Looks good , try not to worry. You will see improvement every few days in healing. Then some shedding and dormancy. 3-4 months is when most see the hair really start to grow. Best wishes D
  3. Congrats and a great number of grafts from your donor area. Best of luck.
  4. Hi debugged I'd say they are most likely new growth . From what I've read on here it can take up to 18 months for full result. You are probably not even half way there so I'd relax and try not to panic. I've had stubble some weeks and not as much other days so I'd say that's just some hairs growing. A friend of mine is now 2 years post op and says that all the way along you can get phases of growth and also some shedding here and there. It can take a while to settle . You have had quite a lot of grafts and some grow months before others . Anyway it can only get better so relax and try not to obsess on it. Best wishes D
  5. Seriously natural looking result, job well done!
  6. Hi there, Looks good and healing well, I'm about 2 weeks ahead of you .itll shed a bit I the coming weeks but as you know it's all for the greater good! Well done and pop a few pics up every month or so. Best wishes D:)

  11. Hi, I have recently travelled from Ireland for an Fue procedure at Maralklinik on 8/11/14. All my emails and concerns were responded to very clearly and quickly before I decided to travel to Istanbul. I was met at the airport by a driver for the clinic who was very helpful and pleasant and brought me to the hotel which the clinic paid for . The hotel is My Rose Hotel and is only about a mile from Maralklinik. It's spotless clean and does a good breakfast. The next day I was picked up from the hotel and went to the clinic. The clinic is impeccably clean and modern. I was introduced to Dr Maral and some of his team who are very nice and have very good English . Dr maral spent a good hour with me going through the procedure and answering all of the questions I had. Everything was covered and I was happy to proceed.They are a busy practice and another guy was there to get Fue as well as me. The procedure :All the work was performed over 8 hours by 3 to 4 of the team. Dr maral came in and out to chat with me and his team . In regards to pain I felt none but the first 2 or 3 injections of anesthetic . Just a small sting , really nothing to worry about. You can watch TV , listen to music etc.even have a nap. I was given lunch about halfway through.My donor area had high density so the got 4900 grafts which I believe is very good. Dr maral was very happy with this and was of the opinion that 1 Fue procedure was going to be enough for me and that they would have more than enough grafts to cover all my top of head. It's a waiting game now. I would personally like to thank all the staff at Maralklinik for everything and the professionalism that they have. Thank you. I will try to update this post monthly with photos so until then thanks for reading. Last 2 photos are 10 days after procedure . .i have very fair skin so I'd say the redness will take awhile to go . Not sore.
