Hiya John, the best pics I have for comparison are in my original post. Cheers pal.

Hi guys... Herewith another update at approx 6 months since my HT with Dr Yaman. I’ve attached 4 pics taken just now, freshly washed and with no product at all in. Took them wet and dry, not sure if that helps anyone at all lol but thought it may show the results better overall. So far I’m really pleased, will continue to keep updating every 8 weeks or so... Have a good weekend.

Lol... Silly me!! That hairline is on point ?? Where did you get your HT done mate? Sure it’ll look lovely when all grown in.. I’m with you though, nothing to panic about either way, just be positive and see how it ends up. I feel great about mine, but if any more work is needed this time next year I’ll jist consider the options and keep going...

Like I said, genuinely appreciate all the feedback, and especially those kind words above.

Thanks pal, appreciate it. Really happy so far, best decision I could’ve made...

Thanks again Turk, I feel the same way. Finasteride has always worked really well for me too, so I hope I’ll be lucky enough to not experience excessive hair loss in future now. Fingers crossed anyway! Have you had a HT yourself?

You have presumed I didn’t discuss the hairline or get any guidance from my surgeon in your first reply (which is incorrect), now above you have presumed “top top” surgeons wouldn’t have gone for the same hairline too (unless you have discussed me with them since your first post? Apologies if so)... Hopefully that explains why I feel you may have been a touch presumptuous. I really don’t want to get in a negative back and forth on here though. As I say, I do respect that you are entitled to your opinion and I agree people should be able to use this great forum to form their opinions on HT - hence me wanting to provide my story from start to finish for people to judge Dr Yaman’s work from a true patient. I am on finasteride and it has always worked well for me, so I hope to not experience too much further hairloss from here on, as I won’t stop again as I did previously to start my family.. if I do though and my hairline position is an issue, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it, for now though I’m very happy and satisfied - with hopefully more gains to come too. Thanks again, I do genuinely appreciate all feedback. J

Thanks Turk, I’m pleased with it. Dr Yaman wanted to keep it in line with the hairline I had retained, we didn’t bring it forward, just filled in where the line had thinned and really strengthened in behind.

Quite a presumptuous post, but, I respect your opinion and there is nothing I can do about it either way now anyway, so it is what it is - but I am very happy with the hairline, the consultation I received beforehand and the results so far, which is the main thing. Thanks for your feedback.

So, as promised some new pics taken today in the brightest daylight I could find, freshly washed with no product in at all. 18 weeks tomorrow since my procedure and I am really happy with how everything how gone since. Looks great day-to-day with a bit of Nanogen in, and the donor area looks absolutely fine. Washing my hair 2x a week with Roots, and also using the propacil spray Fikret kindly gave me before I left Turkey. Taking finasteride daily too. Will put up some more pics in approx 8 weeks and as always I’m happy to answer any questions anyone may have. Nice one. J

That is majority shed now and waiting for new hair to grow in now mate. Donor areas are looking great too which is good. Will post more pics in another 8 weeks, which will be at about 4 month stage.

Hey everyone... 10 weeks post-op tomorrow. As promised just posting some current pics taken in natural light after washing it, with no fibres or product in. Not much else to say at this stage really, happy with everything so far and looking forward to the year ahead... Hope everyone’s 2018 has started well :cool:

Nah not at all, appreciate the feedback. Sounds like we’re similar, and I’ve gone slightly more aggressive in my approach to be fair, in terms of retaining my 30-odd year old hairline position. I’m on finasteride again now, and am confident that’ll halt too much further loss of my natural hair, it did previously before I came off to start a family. Anyway, if I get to middle-age and my problem is too youthful of a hairline, I’ll take that over no hair all day long I guess Have you gone ahead with your procedure or chosen a clinic yet? Sounds like you’re in a good position to get a fantastic result. Cheers pal.

For comparison, this is a pic of me in my mid-20’s with my completely natural hairline.

Hi all, don’t worry I will 100% be keeping this thread updated for 18 months - for better or worse. I agree it is frustrating and disheartening when you see threads started then just go silent. Anyway with the hairline, I agreed it with the doctor, Dr Yaman included me in all decisions and made doubly sure I was happy before starting. We just filled in what was there, followed the natural line and didn’t bring it forward at all. So it is obviously a lot stronger along the whole line but not any lower on my forehead. Will attach a pic now, I’m in the car and have nanogen in but it’ll show how the hairline is... I am also planning to upload my 8 week picture with no product in this weekend. Anyway thanks for the comments, really appreciate the positive feedback and if I can help anyone else of their quest for more hair then I’m more than happy to.
