I believe her mentor Dr. Konior is charging $15 per graft.

She has decent results but that's just too hefty. I believe she may do the entire procedure herself? Regardless, there are other surgeons -- both in the US and abroad -- getting similar results at a more reasonable cost.

 

Konior is a flat rate 35k per day flat rate I believe

Unless you're very wealthy OP, I'd consider looking for a cheaper option

Looks just right imo

I read reviews of the patients making 4000-4400 grafts with Laorwong. All this is done in one single day, starting like 8am, and finishing 11pm. He probably gets more assistance from the techs during a procedure and the extraction is not done manually, while Pekiner does everything manually and by himself. I really don’t know if it makes any difference to the outcome.

All the work of Laorwong seems clean and results speak for themselves and I would also rather go to Bangkok rather than Ankara as a destination, but still my gut feeling tells me to choose Pekiner. I am not sure why 🤔

Good luck. I'm sure you'll be beyond happy with whoever you chose

HLC are the real deal. This should be a great result

Yes, seems like they’re doing hairlines very similar and always a clean looking work.

Only thing that "worries" me with Laorwong that he make the whole procedure in one day, no matter how many grafts.

What are your thoughts about this?

Interesting I didn't know that. Would think it would be quite fatiguing for the 3000+ grafts patients, but who knows maybe Laorwong has marathon like stamina. I wouldn't be concerned with that, nearly all his high norwood patients I've seen have had excellent results

Density is coming. Tres bien

A great result, congrats. You will need to change your display photo to one of Krillin with hair!
Did you ever find out your graft breakdown, how many singles / doubles / triples etc?

Ones = 219

Twos = 1072

Threes = 571

Fours = 44

Looking really good.

What was your impression of Laorwong compared to Pekiner? (First impression of the doctors, clinic and overall)

Both are on my final list, and can’t really decide.

Both very professional, receptive to what your expectations are and what you want, facilities both excellent. Results from both speak for themselves

I honestly couldn't recommend one over the other - you'd be in excellent hands with whoever you choose 

Great coverage for someone who was NW5-6 prior to surgery

Very interesting that you say you think they developed in response to microneedling.

Almost like you overdid your own collagen production.

But maybe also the first time you rolled something over your head repeatedly and noticed your scalp's shape.  

Doesn't matter, who's going to see with that thick rug.

Yeah I didn't have them before microneedling

Yes thats the plan keep this "rug" hiding all scalp hjaha

Hair like Butthead  

Amazing work

Best of luck

9.5 month update. Haven't updated recently as I had an otoplasty done 7 weeks ago. I was naïve and thought it would heal very quickly like a transplant - not the case lol. I had it done in Bangkok so also had a consult with Dr Laorwong about a few hundred grafts in certain areas. Maybe next year, we'll see. I also started topical finasteride

Beautiful work

Crown looking good. That back hair lol. I started getting some when I began oral minoxidil

I see a lot of growth, wait a few months before final judgement 

It's very thin still. I'd opt for a second transplant, different clinic obviously. Oral minoxidil works great for some people anecdotally, not sure if you're on finasteride or not

Improving nicely

You will be a certified full head after this it's expected. Probably hard to find anyone anywhere ever who has recovered from Norwood 7 to match your density & coverage

Can you show how it looks when its combed forward @Gatsby?

You can go round two? 😳🥺🤣

Hah that was after I stopped fin which was over 10 years ago in my early 20s. Sometimes but now in my 30s one seems to be more the standard 😄

In Turkey you can find one of the best surgeons for your hair loss problem such as Dr Pekiner and Dr Keser. Other great options that you would cosnider in Turkey would be Yaman, Gur, Turan, Demirsoy, Bicer, HLC.

^This. But you don't have to limit yourself to Turkey
