ASMED - FUE 5000 Grafts - 30 years old - April 2017
WillHT posted a topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
So I'm starting my thread a little early... I'm scheduled to have a FUE hair transplant with Dr Koray Erdogan at ASMED on 24th April 2017. I've been quoted 5000 grafts over 2 days. I've suffered from hairloss since my early 20s. I'm now 30 years old and have spent at least 5 years feeling pretty shitty about my hairloss. It has really affected my confidence, I wish I could move past it, but it bothers me waaaay too much! lol. I've spent hours upon hours for far too many years reading 'future treatments' message boards hoping for a new product that would help me recover my hair but ultimately this was a waste of time. I'm on propecia (2 years) and used hair fibres for a long time, The hair fibres are good but I have overused them and people have commented on the dust on my head! haha! So it doesn't end up looking too great but its better than without. I intend to keep a log of my transplant journey. Its 3 weeks away and i'm starting to think about it a lot. I'm worried about: 1) travelling to Turkey alone with a large sum of cash and being on my own abroad for 2 weeks 2) Whether I have enough donor hair of sufficient quality/density to achieve the result I want. 3) shaving my head and the immediate appearance upon my return to work/home. Especially the redness. 4) the operation itself. 2 days of people stabbing my head. The discomfort after. 5) the ugly duckling stage 6) Will the transplant be a success or fail Worry number 6 is the most important in the end. Despite my worries..... Fuck it I'm doing it! I just hope that the operation is a success. I have realistic expectations in that when I had a full head of hair I was hardly looking like Brad Pitt and I don't expect the procedure to transform my appearance drastically but I do think it will improve my confidence which is more important. I'll post some pre-op photos at some point soon and use less words in future posts. Thanks to everybody in the community for the private messages and the people who have documented their own operations, its really helped me decide to take the leap. Let's see how this goes! Will TLDR: I'm a balding 30-something getting a hair transplant in 3 weeks. Kinda crapping my pants right now. I'll man up and post further details later. -

WillHT replied to renaissance's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Looking like really solid progress. You must be pretty happy, especially with even more growth time left! Hahaa, what did you say to the person who correctly guessed you had a HT? I know that a lot of colleagues/friends and family members who will pretty much guess and wont be shy in shouting it and I dont wanna tell them! lol -

Thanks for the tip. JustJax also mentioned Aloe vera gel. Can you buy it the UK or order online? I'll stock up in advance lol. Good news re donor scar. I plan to keep my back and sides quite short as my hair is horrible and wispy so keeps it tidy. Glad to hear the donor scarring shouldn't be a an issue hopefully, Looking forward for your next update -
Really impressive result. Thanks for posting the final outcome. You must be chuffed! Love your comment about being able to style you hair pretty much how you want. Thats the dream!

I think your hair looks better in the wet photo. From the front (how most people see you) it looks pretty decent, I don't think people would guess you had a HT? Thanks for the weekly updates. Really helpful to see such a detailed account of the post-surgery issues. Oh yeh - hows your donor area? Is that healed? -

Cheers mate. I'm about to look at flights and saw your comment about spending a bit extra to upgrade from economy but there don't seem to be any seats for that when I'm looking to travel. Also thinking of making it a 2 week trip to Turkey. Is it worth it do you think or will I be too knackered or need decent accommodation (e.g. My own house) immediately post surgery? Good to hear that the hair isn't a graft. Appears to be good customer service from ASMED with a speedy reply. So all going well for you considering the stage you are at. At what point do you expect to see regrowth? When do you reckon it will just look like a short haircut? -

Hey DEBS, Glad to hear that day to day you are just getting on with it. This morning I transferred my deposit to ASMED; so becoming a bit more real for me! Interested in the outcome of the potentially rejected graft. As you said, after 7 weeks that seems a bit strange from my (very very basic) understanding. Although if it's just one graft then won't impact on the overall result - but ASMED then owe you 2.5 EUROS -
