I would follow the instructions on the bottle which state " Store at Controlled Room temperature 20-25 Celsius or 68-77 Fahrenheit."

Haha, give yourself another 6-12 months and we'll see about that

Looks awesome! You must be ecstatic not to worry about your crown appearance. Talk about quick results.

Looks awesome! I'll bet you're extremely happy. Nothing to worry about at all.

You'll always find someone who can do work cheaper in any regard. The question you have to ask yourself is, are you ok with the cheaper results? Often times it leads to a more expensive situation down the road.

Here's my story you can take a look at attached. 

Do you have preop photos of your crown? I ask because your loss in the crown looks minimal so 400 grafts could be suitable to give a decent look of illusion. He's right in the regard of wanting to see if things have stabilized as you don't want to end up with an island of hair where you once had loss and then a surrounding are of baldness which would look extremely unnatural and obvious you had a transplant. How is it looking today?

It's perfectly normal. The crown takes up to 18 months to mature. We can't tell your crown without pictures but it's typically referred to as the "black hole" since it typically uses the most the most amount of grafts to achieve density. My own crown growth was above average and by 1 year I had achieved the desired density so it does vary but up to 18 months is realistic. Who was your doctor? Would you be willing to post pictures?

@FuriousGeorge We have similar situations. I also work in a similar field and started wearing hats. Just told people I was changing things up and left it at that.

I can understand that, you put in the time, saved financially and mentally prepared yourself for this.

It won't be indefinite but challenging there isn't a specific timeframe on when you would be able to. Not sure if you saw the live stream on Instagram but he actually referred to Hasson when asked about mega sessions. @Melvin-Moderator do you have a link to this by chance?

I'm an American and they just extended the border closer to May 21st, so that will make it 14 months in total. I wouldn't get your hopes up about being able to go anytime soon personally. Are you able to wait things out?

I'd add in having unrealistic/realistic expectations. Very important to go to someone reputable who will shoot you straight on what can/can't be achieved and not just take your money and give you lip service.

Where did you go and why did they not recommend minoxidil? Are you on Finasteride?

He needs to start going through this forum first of all. There's not a "one and done" offering especially if you're against taking medication. I think that's the biggest challenge hair transplant doctor's face is to set realistic expectations with patients. Everyone wants the same amount of volume they had when they were 15 but everyone's case is so vastly different. It really is a lifelong journey of learning, collaborating, being patient and appreciative of what hair you still do have.

It's really going to depend on your doctors preference. If they say it will make their job easier by asking you to shave, you should definitely do it to help yield a better result.

I believe she does but contact their office to be sure.

The pain will subside. You're right about the nerves, they're healing and getting used to the follicles. Looks great though. You've been doing a good job keeping it clean.

You made a great choice with going to Nadimi. Keep us updated.

Run a way from Bosley they’re the mcdonalds of hair transplants

That's a disgrace to McDonald's 

@Melvin-Moderator If they blocked you, then you know something shady is going on.

He looks like similar to Brian Urlacher who also went to a hair mill:

Definitely wait for Konior or Nadimi. I know it's tempting to go the Bosley, Restore, etc route with all the advertisements across the city bit you'll be happy with the results. There's a reason why their waiting list is as long as it is.

Any reason why you're limiting yourself to just Turkey? There's a lot of great surgeons here in the states who would be apply to help.

This stuff is really good and healthy. Probably one of the cleanest out there.

There's a lot of factors to consider but you definitely shouldn't go to a place just based on price. The crown is the most challenging area to transplant so you definitely need to go to someone with great results.You also have to look and see what countries will allow you in/out with current Covid restrictions. There's a list of recommended doctors on the main page for you to look at further.

There's too many variables to say this IMO. All that matters is if the patient is happy at the end of the day.

Great progress! Coming in very nicely!
