So I have finally finished my surgery. I'm not going to lie, it was pretty tough physically. 2 days of sitting down takes its toll. But that is the price you pay l guess. Today l went back to the clinic to get a scalp wash. I'm here for another 2 nights, and all l plan on doing is staying at the hotel to ice my now swollen face and use the ATP spray they gave me every hour. I would love to site see, but l am here to make sure l get the best outcome for my self. Here at the stats for my surgery. And l was hoping for a little feedback on whether or not (obviously the skill of surgeon and everything else aside) my characteristics would yield a good result? The only missing information from the chart is my hair microns which was ranging from 55 to 60 depending on the location on which they took the hair from:

Hi Just Jax, First part of surgery went well. They have transplanted the first 2500 grafts in the frontal region and temple points. Such a long day. It's funny l just feel a little queasy but no pain Again I'm wide awake but not because of pain. I think jet lag still. I come from East Coast Australia - sorry want to keep my anonymity as much as possible. After my session today l am here for a further 3 nights. I will post my post op photos after he 2nd session is finished - to give a better idea of the whole job.

So l arrived safely in Turkey. The flight was so long. I'm awake now so thought l would post some more info. Was greeted at the airport by a driver. I don't think he spoke much English so l didn't get his name. Traffic in Istanbul is a nightmare btw. Got to the clinic and was greeted by Sema who l have been in contact with throughout the process. As others have attested the clinic is ultra modern and clean. I met several staff including the anaesthesiologist. I met with Dr Koray where he assessed my head and we discussed hairline. I had my head shaved ( I look ridiculous btw). There were 3 other patients getting the same thing done. One patient who l thought " he doesn't need any work" was actually a repeat customer. I got to chat with a gentleman he had the procedure done last week. He was Turkish American and came back to turkey to get the procedure with Dr Koray. He was getting his head washed and it looked really good for one week post op. Today was the first time that l have seen the scar on the back of my head from the previous surgery. It's not as bad as l thought. It's kind of liberating shaving your head. However, with a head like mine, l think l will prefer having hair. Lol It has been suggested that l have 5000 grafts. Which is fine. However when l go back to the clinic in a few hours l want to discuss making my temple points smaller. Which the clinic is completely comfortable with. I've not felt pressured in any way. The hairline design has been done in full consultation. Wish me luck. It all starts in 4 hours!

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to post about my upcoming surgery with Asmed this week. I leave tomorrow (27th Sept) on the long flight. It's that what l am dreading most. Some history about me: 38 years old. Starting noticing hair loss in my late teens. Used minox for a few years then foolishly had a transplant in Australia with Dr Barry White. Was too young (only 20 yrs). The result was ok, but not completely satisfied. Most disappointing was the scar from the FUT surgery. Hair loss has been something that has bothered me for 20years. It has made me completely insecure about myself. So much so that at my first job, l got picked on, so l just quit and walked out. I wanted to document the procedure and my experience to help others. I used this forum plus another to settle on Asmed - l have been seriously looking for 2 years and now l finally the time has come. Here's my before photos: Will follow with the after and progress reports!

Hi Guys, I have already posted on another forum with little success so hoping the members here can help me. I think l have narrowed my search to 3 surgeons but all have advantages and disadvantages. Dr Erdogan. He seems to have consistent results but compared to my other 2 choices the most expensive. He is also quoting 5000 grafts and when speaking to the other surgeons they recommended only 3000. Also technicians do alot of the work. Dr K in Turkey. Sounds ethical and l am liking how he performs most of the surgery.however l am concerned about is controversial inclusion as a recommended surgeon on this forum. Dr Bhatti. Well priced. Well reviewed. But l am concerned that his results are not as consistent as Erdogan. Again does alot of the work himself. I would love any advice and to hear of people's experiences. Even better if anyone has had a transplant with more than one of the surgeons on the list. Ideally l would like to meet in person if they are willing so l could see their results. I understand if you dont wish. But if you did that would be awesome. I am from Melbourne Australia. Many thanks Kiraly
