Hello;
I recently on the 10 th and 11 th of november 2015 had a surgery with Dr. hakan doganay in antalya,I am 35 years ols and i started loosing gradually my hair since 12 years.
Choosing the surgeon:
I choose Dr. hakan based on his realistic results posted on the net and i had some communication via emails with his clinics where they answered all my questions promptly and because my case is a bit critical i felt that the mentioned dr. would address it perfectly so i decided to just go for it.
Arriving first day:
I went directly from the airport to the clinic where i met muslum then the doctor who examined my donor area which was as average and we agreed on the hairline design and i was informed that i will have a full a very good density at the front and a medium one at the crown and we agreed to get some extraction from my beard area also to address more the crown.
Summary:
Single grafts: 902
Double graft: 1975
triple grafts:1050
beard graft:600
Total:4527
Surgery day 1:
I had 2350 grafts on the first day,at te begining i was a bit nervous but the staff and dr. around makes it much easier,the only part which was painful was the local anesthesia(Done by the doctor) and then everything was very smooth,the technician nurse extracted the grafts for about 2 hours then i had lunch and after that the doctor injected the local anethesia and begin implanting the grafts with the help of the technician.
All the procedure was great and the team around was really very good
I felt good after the surgery and at night i went for a short walk outside the hospital and i enjoyed some nice turkish food in one of the next restaurant
O course i was taking pain killers and some cortizon medicine to prevent swelling
Surgery day 2:
I had 2177 grafts where 600 from the beard and same procedure as the first day in addition of the prp treatment.the second day i felt a bit tired and stayed at the hospital to get some rest.
last day:
I went noon time for washing and then i got the medical kit for free, then muslum who was very helpful during my stay in antalya took me for lunch the to the airport
As a summary it was a very nice experience and i did what i planned for many years and i am hoping for a good result.(By the way i started taking finasteride one month before the operaton in addition of biotin 500 mg)
I am also posting my pre operation photos and one and two weeks post operations photos and any further update will follow
I am also healing very well and nobody is noticing that i made such surgery and i will go back after 2 days to heavy sport as i have stopped for one month as advised by the doctor.
