Thanks for your informative response. Yes, I read about what Dr Bhatti told you in another thread which was concerning. In terms of the density that you mention, is it not possible to get the required density in one session? I have some real bald spots along my beard line with little to no hair at all. Hope that I won't need to go back to Turkey again as it is quite a trek from Australia. At the end of the day, I don't intend to ever clean shave my beard so in my case, perhaps it's a less risky proposition. I just hope I don't have much damage done to the donor site. With every surgery comes risk my friend. Pick a good surgeon and go for it if the pro's outweigh the con's!
