Hey guys, the results are pretty much same. Nothing has really happened. I am coping with the use of dermmatch to hide the thin spots. As I wrote earlier the Dr. and his team have been good to offer me a free 2nd surgery to fix the problematic spots. I have a lot going on in my life so I cannot travel to Turkey at the moment but I hope I can do so in 2017. I have been starting to use finasteride 2-3 times a week and think I have experienced a medium shed so hopefully that will grow back. No pictures for now, perhaps in a few months. Its now just a few days off from a year post op. I think Ill post an update around December (15-16 months which should be a 100% result). -

I would like to add that I take very very honest pictures and I believe that is very important. I could take a pictures with dry hair and styled to hide the thin spots but that is not something I agree with. Many of my friends and family have complimented me on my results even though it has been subpar for now. -

Hi Sorry for not updating recently. I've been a bit disappointed so I wasnt motivated to post results. I've been hoping for a thickening. I've been hoping that I had some shock loss that will come back, i've been hoping that my hairs are in a shedding cycle and that it will thicken up soon. I have read some people saying that their hair was very improved between 7 months -1 year so I hope I still have some improving to do. I took pictures from both sides and wet with and without flash. I also took one picture dry. Would appreciate honest feedback. -

Just a quick comparison from my problem area, the picture on the left is 8th of january and on the right is today, 12 days later. Looks like an improvement but it could just be the longer hair -

Im not quite sure what you mean by "not all the scabbed area", but only the infected area yes. -

Yes the doctor said that it probably wont grow in the infected area unfortunately. Time will tell -

Thank you. I had a look at the link. I think I might have had something similar in a smaller area? I don't know for sure. Its interesting to hear that he had it fixed after 6 months. I hope I can get a good result as well. That was encouraging. Thank you. -

Hi, thank you for your comment. I think my scabs fell off after around 8-10 days. I advise you to be in touch with your doctor regularly and send him pictures - to get the best possible treatment for your situation Thank you for your assessment, I hope you're right -

New pictures from 2 days ago. 4 months and 1 day. Can experience users PLEASE give their view and comment, I know a lot of people view the thread, I would appreciate your evaluation as well. NOTE: I dont try to "hide" anything. Ive kept my hair short to easier track my progress, I dont have a combover to try anything. I can do that later when the result is final. I take pictures both with a flash and without to give you a good idea of the result. I am nervous about the result and hope to hear from you. -

Im not sure when it developed. Im guessing after 2 days Leftygolfer: he said that the hairs were probably dead. The ones in the problem area which was infected. Im guessing 200 hairs I pulled out. I think there are more dead hairs, but im not sure and confident enough about that fact to pull them out. -

Hi Today its been exactly 3 months. 4 pictures follow, with and without flash and a close up of problem area. Update: after speaking with the doctor, he said he thought the hairs in the problem area are dead. I thought so too. He said I could pull out the dead hairs if they came out easily. I considered going to a dermatologist about it but since they came out so easily I didnt go. I think I pulled out around 200 hairs. I am resigned to accept that the problem area wont grow as well as the other areas. Good news is that the Doctor and Mr. Weber have agreed to fix this area for me in a small second operation, free of charge which I am very happy for. I thought I would try to combine an Istanbul vacation with the next small op. So its reached the 3 month mark, this is when people say the growing starts, hoping for the best. I hope some of you experienced posters can comment on my progress so far. Thanks for the interest feldhegast. I will try updating once every month. -
