5 months today since operation.

Currently taking 1mg of finsteride a day.

Let me know your thoughts how it's looking so far. Was hoping for more hairs but maybe just me being in realistic.

Thanks BD

More 1 month post op

Hi guys so time to update my month and 2 months photos . Everything has been fine pretty much only isssue was some spots and pimples on the recipient area which seems to have died down now . You will see the spots I talk about in the 1 month photos. Not really going to comment too much on the price, so far I am happy with the price I paid for the service I received although my final result really is all that matters. Thanks for everyone's nice comments and a good debate.

1 month post op

You got a thread on here or not?

Not sure will find out for you. How's your growth been after 10 months would you say the transplant has met your expectations? Yeah could always have it lowered if need be but think it should be fine.

Not really sure I would imagine about 1500 and the rest at the sides of the head. Maybe a little bit less

3 days post op

Hi Chris yeah it's hard not too. Constantly taking photos etc. What you think of the density look good enough? You have a procedure with DR K? It crossed my mind maybe I should have lowered the hair line a small bit but thinking now that would have been too aggressive?

And another

Another pic

Just arrived back from a 2 day trip to Istanbul with DR Karadeniz. Not going to go into the usual details but everything was very professional and pleasant including the hotel which was 2 minutes from the clinic and the transfers were very smooth although it takes some time to travel from Ataturk airport to the Asian side of Istanbul where the clinic and hotel are located. As you can see from the photos below my hairline has receded a fair bit and the surgery was basically about restoring the hairline but nothing to aggressive. The DRand me quickly agreed on a hairline that would suit my face and more importantly what I was happy with. The DR took a total of 2124 grafts the breakdown is as follows

Singles - 500

Doubles - 836

Triples -384

Quadruple or more - 403

A total of 4939 hairs.

I was very happy to get this amount of hairs for the amount of grafts. Everything during the surgery went well although I did start to experience some pain when the last few grafts when being inserted. All the grafts were removed by the DR himself and the incisions were also done by DR k , his techs placed all the grafts themselves. We had about 40/50 grafts left at the end of the procedure . I decided against having anestetic and more incisions done for them to be placed as everything looked good and I like I said my head was starting to get sore so we both agreed everything looked good and called it a day. Surgery lasted about 8 hours. After the procedure the DR provided me with some anti swelling meds and pain killers . He also supplied me with a years worth of proscar. I went back the next day for my first wash with the techs everything seems to be healing fine.

All in all a good professional experience but this will mean nothing if the procedure is not successfull. The DR also assured me he if there was not sufficient growth in 12 months he would provide another HT free of charge. Hopefully it does not come to that.

Any thoughts on my photos would be appreciated and also any questions fire away

Thanks

Hello guys that's me back home safe and sound so I will write a bit on my experience tomorrow and also post my photos when I receive them from the DR along with the facts and figures of the transplant.

Must be getting better as I see a smiley face, I have my procedure booked with DR K in a months time

How's the growth coming along mate?

DR K does not suggest number of grafts needed he goes on actual hairs transferred and he told me around 5000. The "grafts" will be placed on my temples and hopefully threw my mid scalp so I am not left with gaps when the hairline receeds further.

Hi all, thought I may get this started bit before I head out to Turkey for my procedure. Ended up narrowing my potential surgeons down to 3 all being from Turkey. Ended up coming to the conclusion this DR would be best for me, mainly due to his ethical approach to the industry also the communication was excellent. All in all going to cost 3000 euro and flight were 260 euros so all in all very reasonable price. I will post a few pics soon.
