Amen to that. All I could see online was people's 6month results that look dense/thick and finished. Then I read people saying all hair should be through by 6months and the next 6 will be thickening. My surgeon said his isn't true and hair will continue to grow up until 12 months, maybe even the odd hair after but I didn't believe that. Looking at the bigger picture, clinics and a lot of people only want to promote the best. Luckily on here most people will post their results at each stage good or not so and this gives a lot of people hope that they're not the only one at the same stage.

This is the photo I sent my surgeon. As you can see on the right hand side there's a slight patch (with styling products it's nothing) Also looking at your posts, for 5months I think it looks like it's going well. Dr Nader is a very competent surgeon from what I've read on here and you'll see much further improvement in the coming months Photo won't upload for some reason. Il try and work out why

I had 3061 grafts. The best piece of advise I was given was by Bill and Spanker I believe (maybe wrong) who told me that lighting is a hair transplants worst enemy or best friend. It drove me mad to begin with and I was contacting my surgeon most weeks as nothing really got majorly better until 8/9months onward. I recently sent my surgeon my 15 month photos and he said that he'd only advise adding 200-300 grafts (at his charge) for a small area that hasn't grown aswell/maybe some hairs in that area fell out from shock loss.

I'd consider myself a slow grower. Had my transplant October 11th 2016. I've attached photos pre HT 5months post HT 7months post HT 15month photo

I had FUE with Dr Tayfun in October 2016. You can see my results here http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/187510-advice-needed.html http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/187328-3061-grafts-dr-tayfun-oguzoglu-10th-october-2016-a.html

I'm happy to say that those hairs have ended up growing for me. Must have been in some type of resting phase. The only hair I pulled out was one which looked like a corkscrew. When I look into that area now there's only normal hair now so it either never re grew or a normall follicle came out after

I wasn't one of two patients on the day that I had my transplant. Extractions are done by Dr Tayfun and one nurse/technician. Doctor opened all the channels and techs impnated the grafts. As everyone else has said, I agree, medication is needed. Propecia and minoxidil are the two best. I stopped Minoxidil because I didn't like the feel it gave my hair but have continued with propecia.

Sorry guys I didn't get an email notification to say someone else had commented on the post, hence the late reply. Dr Tayfun done the extractions along with one other member of staff (Dr or Tech I'm unsure). He then made the incisions and banadaged me up for lunch. After lunch it was two technicians who implanted the grafts.

I assume you mean Tayfun Oguzoglu. I had my HT with him just over a year ago. Can see my photos on my posts. Everything seems to have went well and his hospital is very clean. His prices are also very attractive. I'm looking to maybe go back in the near future for an addition of density but the work he's done so far looks like most other Dr's to me.

Guys Thankyou for your input. I'm now just over one year post HT and this is where my hair is now. I believe it looks much better than what it was at 7months. I'm debating a second session at some point to add frontal density.

Looks amazing in my opinion, frames the face and the density is top notch.

Just attached a ten month update. Starting to debate about booking for a second HT due to hair greed. Have thought if I did go back to Istanbul I'd go with Koray Erdgoran at ASMED. He believes I'd need 2800-3000 grafts. My thinking is that if I'm going back again I want to go to the best. But then I do think that my previous transplant hasn't been a disaster and I just had higher expectations thank i may be should have. I would like a head of hair that looks full and dense in the morning when I get out of bed or if it's styled. Other surgeons I've spoken to are; Erkan Demirsoy, estimates 2000-2500 grafts for dense packing Resul Yaman, 2500-2800 Koray Erdgoran, 2800-3000 Tayfun Oguzoglu, my original surgeon. I haven't had a consultation from him yet as I expect him to be consulting in London at some point in the next few months and will have a follow up with him then. I expect that as sending photos 10 months post op these estimations may be slightly less after one year. Any comments or advise from member of the forum is always appreciated, I know many will say don't have a second HT until 18months at least, so I would be looking atbooking with whoever for about FebruaryMarch 2018.

I found that Newley transplanted grafts will seem to look like their growing once the scabs come off. All that's happening is they're being pushed out of the scalp, making way for the dormant period of a couple of months. Mine came out bit by bit so it would seem normal to look like some have grown out more then others.

When I sent my deposit to my surgeon in turkey I went to my local bank (Santander) gave them the account holders name, IBAN number and all associated account numbers which the surgeon provided, then told them I wanted to send the money in euros and they done the rest for me.

I've seen the work of arenamed on instagram. Always looks fantastic work. I myself considered them for my hair transplant as they have a set price (very low if I remember of about 1600 euros for everything such as consultation, operation, aftercare, transport etc) upto a maximum of 5000 grafts The surgeon is meant to be Serkan Aydin I believe. I have read reviews on a few forums saying that people never met Serkan and it was all technicians, which for the price would seem correct. If I understand your question correctly then only your transplant surgeon would tell you how many donor grafts you have left as they would have reviewed this prior to your first surgery. From my limited knowledge of donor supply, if you've had 5000 grafts used already then another 5000 may be ambitious. I believe from what I've read on hair transplant network that 10000 donor grafts would be for someone with a very healthy supply. I do stand corrected if I am wrong though.
